...What scares me is... I think we actually have a legitimate chance to have the distinction of being the first team to go 0-17.... don't underestimate the suck.

that would be awesome, seriously that would be incredible, I would rather go 0-17 then something like 7-10.  I would tune in every week if we were winless

Sam is NOT an elite QB and looked bad last year.  He looked good games 1-3, then CMC went down and we replaced him with literally the absolute WORST receiving back in the league (Chubba).   Robbie got the dropsies, and we traded Dan Arnold and a 3rd for CJ Henderson who played like total ass.  This left forcing the ball to DJ, which the other teams picked up on.   Line injuries pilled up and we went from  1 sack in G1 to 2 sacks in G2 to 5 sacks in G5.  We peaked with 7 sacks G16.  Our starting line wasn't good, but our backups were total a total sht-show.

If CMC is truly made of tissue paper now, we are fcked in any event, even with Watson. 

 Hopefully they know to get rid of Chubba.  A smaller back who hasn't learned how to catch a checkdown is worthless in the NFL.

I'd be more optimistic about drafting a QB at 6 ONLY if it's Willis and the team makes the choice not to play him at all his rookie season. Ala Trey Lance. And next year you have Darnolds contract coming off the books and a full slate of high draft picks. Then the priority would be keeping DJ Moore and maybe Burns if the loss of Reddick pushes him to become the best version of himself. Other pricey guys, like CMC and Shaq, would likely finally be able to be moved too.

If they DO decide to go QB and it's Pickett then nope. I'm out

Yeah I just don't feel good about that guy or really any of them this year. Willis is the closest to being interesting, but he's like 2nd round interesting.

    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
    • 6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
