Very good point. We had a broken play to get to 30 at home against a team that gave up an average of 26 per game last year.

Should probably give it a few games before making sweeping judgements on a team playing for the first time ever in its new systems under its new coaches playing a lot of rookies in a year with no preseason or off season and rebuilding..

Agree 100%. Some people weren’t being realists thinking our DL would be awesome right away and the D much better than last year. They are so green right now. Give them a year or two and add a couple pieces at CB and LB and more depth and they’ve got promise.

I think the debate is becoming between tanking and trying, I you think Today we tried to tank I have some bad news for you. Especially after the we pick number 6 atm.

There are parts of our team that are young and will improve, such as all the defensive guys we just drafted. But we aren’t looking for any quick fixes. We’re rebuilding, but we are establishing. Bridgewater is not the answer for the next 15 years at the most important position. If we put ourselves in a position to take that type of guy, you absolutely take him. And then you groom him, even potentially while Bridgewater is still here. 
 

The idea of wanting a franchise QB and our team being in a position to draft one is neither ludicrous or asinine. In fact, it’s even better because the rebuild has already started WHILE we’re in pursuit of one as opposed to commencing when we get one.

Nobody is saying otherwise. The point is that they will lose a lot this year but hopefully we will land our future franchise QB. Just picture two years from now Derrick Brown and Jeremy Chinn dominating on defense while Lawrence,  CMC and hopefully DJ Moore lead us to the promised land on offense

Another thing to consider is if the season is shortened or cancelled for any reason and the determination of the draft is based on games played, the Jags and Skins winning and us losing may work in our favor.

If this was a Chiefs messageboard you would have motherfugers saying we don't need to draft a QB (Mahommes) because we have Alex Smith

[amcoolio]

The Jets are horrible. They'll get the #1 pick. 

[Panthercougar68]

y'all tankers know after week 1 we pick #6 right?

fug off we haven't  been blessed with the unnecessary bitching like chief fans from 2015-2019.

[Monty83]

And last time I checked, when you’re the worst team, you also get the #1 pick in the following rounds after RD1 also. Those kinda have some value as well.

That raiders team isn’t that good, as I see them as 8-8 at best, and we would’ve lost by 2+ scores if it wasn’t for that busted play.

I think we are going to be in play for Lawrence or Fields, and thank God. I wasn’t impressed by Teddy

We had threads about how our DL would be a top DL this year. There were a bunch of super optimistic people about our D. Most people knew they would be a work in progress but the expectations of quite a few were that Short and Brown would be wreaking havoc while Burns and YGM ran wild. We had 0 sacks and gave up 133 yards rushing. It was a rough start. The potential is there and hopefully they reach it but we are going to give up a lot of points and we are actually pretty healthy.

So we are in great shape for the next Jameis Winston/Marcus Mariotta/Mitch Trubiski/Baker Mayfield.
