Lose when it matters, win when it doesn’t

How many top 5 pick QBs are going to be in the playoffs this year?

 

It doesn't matter if they're top 5 pick QBs or not. It's about being in the best position available to bring the right players to your team. You think Texans fans are cheering their heads off because they won today, or are they lamenting the fact that they now have the 2nd choice of QBs? The win matters only in the fact that it can hurt you overall. Realizing that moral victories don't help the franchise doesn't make you less of a fan. It just means you recognize that a single win is can be the difference between drafting Peyton Manning vs Ryan Leaf.

What is sad is a franchise whose fans argue and fight over draft position and losing. I hope we can get back back to playoff ball and meaningful games in January. We made some headway this year and hopefully we can continue the momentum next year. Good finish even though it didn't really increase Wilkes chances or show Darnold in a positive light other than a late drive to win the game.

For some teams out there, that is enough, though.

Better to win than to lose. 

Especially when it doesn't make much difference draft-wise.

That 1 spot, 2 spot, 3 spot difference has been huge in the past and why we wallow in misery. 

What's "huge" in the past may not be huge in the future, though.

We don't know how draft picks will pan out until they do OR DON'T. 

It's always a guessing game and hoping we  hit and others don't.

You have to be in position to get the guy you want. Especially a franchise QB. Sure they may not work out but we are going nowhere if we don’t even get a chance to pick one. That late season W moral victory at Washington 100% cost us Herbert.

you’re right, because nothing is guaranteed it’s better to pick later in the draft


 

Wait what

Can you predict the future, Nostradamus?

Can you predict what picks will pan out and what picks won't?

No you can't. 

That's my whole point.   Jesus Christ, Mr. Sarcasm.

I can predict that more players drafted high will be better than players drafted low

Idk why people try so hard to swim upstream against this absurdly mundane fact

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
