Sean Payton's Vicodin

Ask a Bucs fan if they'd rather draft a QB instead of what they're experiencing right now.

So if you were the Bucs would you have stayed with Jameis instead of signing Brady?

Yeah but I'd take going to a SB with a team of mercenaries over a team of "home grown talent" that loses every year like the Panthers

I kneel before Tom Brady

We are never going to see another QB like Brady. Just bask in the greatness, even if it is the Succs

Nail in the coffin was Ron being a dumbass and playing an obviously hurt Cam at the end of 2016 in some meaningless games. That got the ball rolling downhill in terms of his health. Still think the franchise was salvageable before that. Either way, Ron shouldn't have outcoached by Gary fuging Kubiak in the SB. I wouldn't even care about the state of the franchise rn if we had just won that lombardi.

witness the last time I had hope for this franchise. what a wild ride downhill it's been since then

Ring of honor, definitely not a HOFer though

Winning culture fuged us so hard. We aren't even getting lance now. Its basically Deshaun or bust.

Good fallback plan in case we don't get Deshaun

Zod just out of curiosity what was the game/moment when you realized Teddy ain't it

There are people on this board right now who still believe the "Teddy is good enough we just need to build around him" meme.

Wow I didn't realize several huddle posters got their PhDs good job everyone

Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

The thing with drafting RBs is their careers are so short that you are basically getting them in their primes day 1. Thus resigning them to long term deals after their rookie deals is almost always a bad move (CMC, Todd Gurley etc) because they are usually on the tail end of their prime. I highly doubt CMC ever has a year like 2019 ever again... and the team still sucked!! Drafting a RB in the first round makes sense if you are a contender (like how KC drafting CHE last year was a great pick) but if your team sucks then you're basically hoping for a quick rebuild.

But yeah CMC is UNTRADEABLE thanks to Hurney's dumb ass. Even dumb teams like the Texans wouldn't bite.

Dave Gettleman thinks this

People need to move on with the idea that RB is an important position in the modern NFL. It's not. You can find productive RBs in the mid rounds these days.

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAA

He is better than Teddy but do you really want to go 7-9 instead of 5-11? IMO there's no point in bringing Mitch on in anything other than a backup position.
