I just think he flat out doesn't know what he's doing running an NFL team. Moving money around to make wealthy people even wealthier is a lot different than running a football organization.

There is actually probably more luck involved in successfully running a football team. 
 

Unlucky teams - No QB. Lucky teams - Good QB. 
 

He’s trying to force the luck…which kudos to him. I’d rather have an owner who is trying to force the issue and win than an owner who sits back and accepts 8-8 after 8-8 after 8-8…and occasionally makes the playoffs.

He’ll get the formula right eventually. When it happens we’ll find the QB and we’ll roll.

Gotta start shopping in the right aisle. You're highly unlikely to find the QB in the bargain bin where we've been shopping the last two years. Paying them too much or trading too much for those bargain bin QBs aren't gonna make them any better.

Ok fair enough, but when ppl like me say sell the farm for Watson, I get blow back. So which is it? Are we just looking for a happy medium, or do we need a good qb to get the goddamn job done. Which is very rare to find. Decisions are better understood in hindsight.

I was all in on trading for Watson until... well, you know.

      It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.

      That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…

      Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
