Russell would likely have been successful anywhere he was given a chance to start but he wouldn't be a Super Bowl champion without those other elements. 

Even the greatest of QB's isn't gonna drag a team to but so much success. Look at Brady in Tampa. He plopped into a ready-made team to get his last title. That team was stacked with talent. Stafford and the Rams.

This roster is pretty thin on talent and VERY thin on experience. So the ceiling is naturally going to be very low.


Yeah, we are not a QB away. 
 

At this pace, it will take rule 5 years just to get an 9-8 team. If he’s lucky.

Yeah, a lot of things have to go our way for this turnaround, even with competent FO and HC moves.

I don't think most fans appreciated how bad our roster was after the 2019 purge. Truthfully, it's debatable how much it has improved since then. We really need these 2020-2022 guys to be good. Not just the first round guys. We need some of these other picks to pan out, as well. Otherwise this will be a very, very bad team.

QB play wasn’t the worst problem the last two years. Joe Brady wasn’t ready for prime time. We had a terrible O Line and CMC didn’t even play half a year between both combined. The QBs we fielded weren’t world beaters but they for damn sure weren’t set up for success.

Teddy largely was.  He just refused to make the throws he needed to.  O still has problems but Teddy not pulling the trigger on plays that existed was the primary problem that year on O.  

2020 and 2021 IMO can't be lumped as the same messes/problems.

hope to split w/ Atl and NO.  That gives you 2 wins. 

Detriot.  That gives you 3 wins. 

Then hope you pull 3 wins of these 4 - NY, Sea, AZ, Pitt.  That gives you 6. 

But that's why the Vegas line is so good.  Because of that last group of 4 teams.  By taking the 6 wins you are betting you win most of the coin flip/winnable games. 

Everyone else is just flat out better than us pending injuries don't alter who they are.   And that assumes Watson starts in Clev week 1. 

but yeah the opening 8 games are crucial for Matt Rhule and there isn't a lot of room for error on the couple winnable games there. 

We will inexplicably beat AZ. Weird things happen when we play them. Sea, NYG, and Pitt are all up in the air but none of those QBs scare you. All those teams are mentally counting our game as a W.

I don't think six wins will be enough to save Rhule's job.

Not directly related, but a little perspective...

 

Super Bowl victories are so hard to come by.  That's why the NE dynasty was so impressive.  I think Tomlin is the only active head coach with more than one Super Bowl victory (as head coach) outside of Bill.

A lot of IF’s have to become positives for us to be competitive. Pretty sure Sam isn’t going to lead us anywhere and Matt is still raw. With decent play at QB and our D playing like it’s capable of we could be good.

 

Thankfully, we are still very young as a team. So we do have some time to find that QB. If it is not Corral, then swing away next year.

 

IMO, as soon as Matt can master the playbook. He starts. Then let the chips fall where they may.

    • 38 seconds in tells me he is full of poo and is spinning for clicks. You know how they say in court, where if they lie once you can assume they are lying always?  To me is doing a pretty spiteful thing I think, by putting those words in someone's mouth. Unless he knows that is true. Which I doubt. An honest person would not have said that to Tepper, so he basically assaulting Canales. It is not Canales' fault that Young will not adhere to the the coaching he was obviously given. And of course I am referring to that Buffalo series and the very noticeable footwork change. Evidence that he had the opportunity to be a better player but reverted to his wonky ass 'techniques'. Because it is fuging hard not to. But that is still on Young for not getting that done. And unless he gets it done he is just a fraud. A wannabe NFL quarterback, playing at it. I mean NFL quarterbacks are kicking his ass, even the rookies.  If he works to change this steadily he may be able to get it ingrained in a couple more months. That is as optimistic as I can be for him.  Riddick though, I don't don't listen to sports talk any more except what youtube clips I like but I used to think pretty highly of him. This is pretty sad, to see this scapegoating.  I can put words into Canales mouth too: "Mr Tepper, I have a pretty good feel for working with these guys, and have had some luck with it. You know Baker pretty well. That's my work with him.  But I have to be honest, I'm not sure i can promise I can fix Bryce. He has many challenges. There are things we can do to help but so much of it is up to him. If he is willing to listen and work, I am sure we can make him a better QB. How good will be up to him."   blah blah blah blah      
    • Can they play QB? And some stuff from Ride the Lightning, too?
    • When dementia gripped my grandmother (and eventually took her), we each spent time with her and would try to correct her to what was reality and what wasn't. It was very tough on my Dad who she lived with for as long as they could care for her.  It seemed like she had become detached from her own timeline and would slide up and down it wildly. As my Dad said, "somedays I'm me to her, somedays I'm my Dad, somedays I'm her father, somedays I'm just the guy who works here. I tried correcting her but it just upset her. I found out that the best thing is to just not correct her and let her live out where ever and whenever she is."  And I'm not going to lie, it gets tough and eventually they leave their own timeline and it becomes unmanageable. Hold on to yourself and the ones you love through it all. Prayers for you and yours, man.
