So, we're sitting at #8 in a draft that could have five or six good QBs in it, a couple of which would even be available in the second round when our pick came in. We have no real offensive line. We're cheering defensive pick ups that have injury histories or just one decent season of work. 

Why the hell are we going to give it all away to try and nab a big name QB with a huge contract who will want to run the organization? Either Watson or Wilson will be that guy. Guaranteed if they get here and they will be surrounded by a team hamstrung for salary cap AND draft picks so there's no way to really build around them except for some street-level JAGs. We will have a further disgruntled superstar on a team that's going nowhere and you and I will be stuck watching them. 

And if this is what the owner wants, he's a dumbass who doesn't understand the sport, and he will have killed the career of the Head Coach he was willing to give anything to to get here. 

Just scout the college candidates, make a frikkin' pick at #8 or trade for the #1 pick. Quit dickin' around you stupid hedge wizard weasel.

3 1st rounders, a 3rd rounder and 2 starters is way too much for someone on the wrong side of 30. I'm pretty sure an article came out saying he was hit more than any other QB in the league. His body will begin to break down way before Drew Brees or Tom Brady's did. 

He's not on the wrong side of 30! 

Look, I get the whole not wanting to give up so much. I do! That's debatable! But only people thinking really in terms of the 80s or even the 90s think that 32 is old I today's NFL. Wilson, Stafford and Rogers are still playing at a high level with arms as big as they ever were, and certainly enough to push the ball down field. Even the Brady has a noodle arm narrative has proven to be false (as I suspected and intimated somewhere on these servers within the last two years)!

We did hire a GM who is supposed to be a draft expert...maybe go with our strengths at this time?

I'm with you, Tepper pulls this trigger and he is a fugging Jones level moron owner playing with his billion dollar toy.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
