Life without DW4


Recommended Posts

Not giving up on DW yet....

But, I think signing Winston or Mariotta makes the most sense unless we fall in love with a QB in the draft.  I do like Pickett, and think a rookie would generate some excitement for the fan base.  But we would need to shore up the LG and C spots as well as MLB prior to the draft in order to take a QB at 6.

People say this years class is poo but want the Bama QB after absolutely eviscorating Mac Jones for months 😂

I guess Mac Jones was just a skinny white dude that had a dad bod at age 21? But all he did was win and make throws! I guess that was only because of the talent around him? But, Bryce Young doesn't have good talent? 😂

While I was the conductor on the tank for Trevor train and I agree with your premise, the two things above conflict. If you want to make a run at a QB, we need losses. You don’t want a vet bridge QB to limp along, you pick your Jimmy Clausen and run. I’m think Sam is that guy or maybe Walker.

It still saddens me that we wasted all that cap and picks on Teddy and Sam when in 2020 we had the Will Grier express to take us to the promised land and at worst we got the bounty of picks from SF. Would have made getting Watson easy peasy.

I’m not necessarily saying tank. The chiefs(Pat)  rams(Goff) eagles(wentz) all gave a load up to move up and get their guys from deeper in the first round. We would prbly be giving up way less than we are willing to right now with Watson. 
 

I say sign Marcus or Jameis because you know Rhule knows he is a lame duck and isn’t gonna ride with Sam either way.

People play favorites too much based on their favorite college it's why you can't have a basic fact based talk about quarterbacks here.

What I see in Bryce is a skinnier, slower version of Kyler Murray. I don't question his skills but I do question his ability to physically withstand the punishment the NFL game dishes out.

That’s a fair assessment. He just has ridiculous arm talent and is extremely cerebral. Playing under BoB he’s seen a high level system.

Yup. IMO this is what it would have to be. Stand by…pick up assets by trading CMC, Robbie, maybe DJ. Try to keep the defense together so it doesn’t need work. Build the OL. Draft the QB of the future in 2023. Fire Rhule after we have the worst record in the league. Start over.

    • He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc. 
    • The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position. 
    • Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
