Yeah, I want us to lose, I hate winning useless games, we need a new QB and fast. If we want to compete with Wilson or said QB in two years. 

I wish I could say I do but I don't.  I work overseas and watch these games however I can.  I can't watch without wanting us to win.  

I've never been onboard with losing for draft position.  These players grow up trying to win at every level.  They are not coming to the Pros to lose for next year.  It just doesn't make any sense.  Rebuilding is not a one year process.  You can't hope to lose 2 or 3 years in a row just to get enough decent players to win.  If you don't build a winning attitude you'll lose young players because you don't push to win.

If we win great, if we lose we just aren't good enough and I am ok with that. 

We're not going to get one of the two top QBs no matter how many more games we lose.  NYJ and Jax pretty much have that locked up.  

I predict somewhere between 7 and 9.

Just finish in the Top 7 or 8 range at this point and I'm happy.  Allows us to sit there and grab a great player (or 3rd QB off the board), or puts us in a position where a trade up with a team like the Chargers or Eagles isn't that out of reach should we need to make the jump for a QB. 

The best thing going at this point is the few teams ahead of us or around us either having their QB already (Dak, Burrow, Herbert), having just drafted one we haven't seen  like Hurts in Philly, or having "tough" decisions to make either based on recent drafts or cap reasons (Stafford, Jones, Lock, Cousins.

IMO, the teams we're going to have to worry about either around us or to trade up probably end up being  Denver/Philly/Washington/New England/San Fran/Chicago.  A couple of those teams will win too many games, and Philly/WFT could win the division dropping them. Then gotta hope teams convince themselves of somebody like Cam in FA.

      Interesting that people are calling for our DC'S head, when we never would have been in the game if it wasn't for the defense.  Never should have gotten to OT.

      Philly's defense is great and they run the ball a lot and control the TOP (and they certainly will vs us - this is a big mismatch), so even if Bryce is at his best, I doubt he would have a chance to crack 300 passing yards.  Be damn impressive if he does though, but it all just depends on volume, efficiency, and most importantly... not turning the ball over.

      Even with Cam I don't think it would have been a hard sell. He always loomed larger than life, but most people that understand football understand the reality of the game. One wrong hit, one wrong step, and a career can be over. It's the thing I've been frustrated about most with every GM we've ever had, including Morgan to this point. We never really developed the QB room. We relied on our starters and when Jake and Cam fell apart, so did the franchise. That's the one position that you can't really afford not to develop a plan B, but we do it with regularity. Dalton wasn't supposed to be a serious threat to Bryce's job and Jack was never a threat to be anything at all. JMO, but we should always have a young guy we're trying to keep on the bench with at least 2 years in the system. If they're not getting it, move on, but always keep rotating guys through. It seems like 2-3 years really is the magic point for QBs to either get a handle or not. It's probably not going to happen, but I'd really like to see that 3rd QB emergency slot become a permanent place to work on developing young QBs. I think it could benefit every team in the league because it's so hard to carry 3 QBs on the roster with all the turn over during the season due to injuries.
