You need to start wondering what you'd give up to get Lawrence

just gonna focus on this because the rest is "QB IS THE MOST IMPORTANT POSITION" thing and everyone knows that. But that doesn't mean it isn't over valued. 

My argument here is that's 4 rings over 54 Super bowls won by those first overall picks. 6 if you count Elis.

Yes QB is the most important position. Yes Trevor is the best QB since Luck (though I think a healthy Tua is up there too.) and yes if we're picking #1 overall we take him.

But we're not damned to mediocrity if we don't take him. 

If we keep Teddy at QB, that is also debatable. Teddy is a QB that you have to have two excellent wideouts, a well above average O-Line, and a damn solid-great defense to win a Title with. While Payton showed he didn't need that, although it would've helped, Elway the same. Eli was also sort of in that boat. If you get a Franchise QB first, you're set for a long, ass, time. Injuries not withstanding. While with Bridgewater, do you really want to take that chance with him? Just feels like a one shot hope at winning a SB one year, and that's it.

Lol.  dude come on.  Yet the best QB of all time was a 7th round pick?  And the biggest bust of all time was a #1?  And the second biggest bust of all time was also a #1?  

He was a 6th, but let’s be honest here, are we actually trying to say historically that QBs taken in the 6th round are the best? 1st round QBs litter playoff teams and make up most starters. Brady, Montana and Wilson are once a decade exceptions. Because QBs are so highly valued, there are plenty of high pick busts that people remember because teams tend to overdraft and unlike the 2021 draft class is looking there are years where the QB draft class is pretty mediocre and guys like Russell go way to high or Darnold and Mayfield become top 4 picks.

Anyway, after today, I’ve given up my hope to get a top QB. There are just way too many shitty shitty teams and we won’t get ahead of them and we don’t play as many bad teams.

4th qtr offense is definitely a problem for them.  Today they had 6 yards of 4th qtr offense up until the last desperation drive, when they got 31 yards and a interception.

So take former NFL MVP Matt Ryan out of the lineup and insert Trevor Lawrence and the Falcons wins today got it.

I don't pull for losses but this season I do begrudgingly accept them as setbacks and nothing guarentees success just a better chance at elite level players.

So explain to me how the Patriots, who always pick 30-32, keep winning without these so called elite level players?

I’m not optimistic to get any of the top QBs. We will lose tiebreakers on SOS so I think we are going to be out of the running. Sucks because I don’t see us getting good enough to really compete. Oh well, it was a nice thought while it lasted. I miss a healthy Cam and that’s what I was hoping for, a franchise QBS who can get you there. Teddy’s a nice guy and it’s amazing he’s even playing at this point but damn, we dominated that team and we came one flip away from losing. I mean he sure is on pace for his 14TDs.

Debatable. But, that's neither here nor there. Regardless, picking first and getting a QB that can win you a Super Bowl is more likely to happen, than picking one in the 2nd or 3rd round and hoping they do well. Look at Will Greir FFS. Sure, their are outliers, but those are few and far between. 

6 rings in 54 Super Bowls from #1 overall picks.

I can absolutely see that argument for first round QBs. I haven't watched any Lance yet and I'm very on the "Fields is overrated" side of things but if push comes to shove I can see taking either of those two. Unless Teddy balls the fug out I see us taking a QB this draft. Jamie Newsome is a guy I really like.

But Lawrence isn't gonna garuntee us a super bowl. 

I know there's an astrik next to Luck thanks to Gringson's incompetence, but both Luck and Eli were outdone by QBs in their class in terms of consistency (Russ and Big Ben)

Lawrence is really fugin good but whether we get him or not doesn't damn us.

Picking #1 isn't just about the player/QB selected its the fact you had full reign to pick any selected thereafter as well...

A lot of my family members are Eagles fans.  They sure do wish they would not have selected Wentz #2 overall.

Bridgewater is perfectly ironic as he is just that a Bridge QB.

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
