I'm sorry but I rooting for losses the rest of the way...

Rooting for loses to see them hit rock bottom is just stupid logic.  How did 2010 help us?  How would going 3-12-1 help us recruit folks and get free agents.  We would have to either lose even more players or have to do what we did in 2010 which was overpay to keep the ones we want here and Gettleman doesn't seem to want to do that. So all the guys we want to keep will leave and no one will want to play here again.

 

Plus Rivera is going to be here anyway so what have you gained really?  What you lose will be substantial.

I will root for is to beat Atl....NO to lose to Cincy. For us to be winning the division next weekend.

Let's say we lose our remaining games and finish the season 3-12-1 and land a top five or three pick. When we come to the board Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston are available to be drafted. Would Gettleman decide to draft a new QB and trade Newton?

It sounds silly, but there is some logic to it. By trading him they don't need to add another huge contract to the books, which could end up being in the $20 million or so range. This would allow the team to free up space to sign Kuechly and strengthen in other areas. In regards to trading Cam, we could probably land a couple or a few first round picks and some other picks in a package, which would allow the team to continue strengthening the line up.

I don't see this happening, but at the same time, it wouldn't be too surprising if Gettleman did decide to get his own QB and grab a huge package in a trade for Cam.

That said, if we do land a top ten draft pick, that should give us an opportunity to grab a stud o-lineman.

It is a good idea if you think about it. Because of the new way rookie contracts work we could get a good QB and not have to pay him a big contract for 4-5 years.

I doubt it would happen and you always take a risk of a QB being a bust but we can always dream.
