Why drafting a RB or defense won't solve our issues.

I believe it was John Lynch or one of those fox broadcasters who said it best last year, when we are forced into passing situations and the opposing defense knows we need to pass it our offense becomes completely incompetent.

 

Don't quote me one this but when a team gets a two TD lead on us I believe our record is like 1-20, so either we need to have the lead or we're screwed.

 

If it was up to me I would draft receiver, o-line, receiver with the first 3 picks, get Cam's so weapons to see if can become an elite passer. Cause as it stands right now the receiving corp is still among the worst in the NFL and we don't what we are getting Oher and Martin.

I could easily make a thread titled, "Why reaching on a player based on need won't solve our issues".

 

I would like to hear that argument, I would rather draft for need than a player that we have no need for.

 

 

People always bring up this being Stewart last year, but fail to realize theirs a draft next year. Next years RB class is just as good if not better.

We didn't have an immediate need for Kony Ealy when he was drafted, but that quickly changed.  We didn't have an immediate need for a LB when Beason and Kuechly were drafted, but both were (are) great players for us.

 

Every team needs good players.  You don't draft a guy who you think is marginal as a prospect for that particular draft position solely because of need.  That's how you get into trouble.  Remember Hurney double dipping in the 3rd at DT with Fua and McClain because he was desperate at DT?  Everyone considered those picks reaches and they were.

what you think is a need may not be a need by seasons start.

 

on the flipside what you think isn't a need maybe a need when the season starts.

 

injuries/regressions/off-years, ect. are unknowns. Its really a double edged sword. the flipside can happen. players get better/ recover from injuries in years past/ have a boom year. all these things you might not expect.

 

The best thing to do is get the best value as possible. need plays a role in that as well as looking at the future as a fluid process. it really is a crapshoot though. You just wanna infuse as much talent and competition and chemistry as possible.

A few years ago we drafted a player we didn't exactly have a "need' for at the time, a kid by the name of Luke.

Seems to have worked out okay so far.

So tell me how do you think we should solve that 1-20 record?

Look up the stats and I guarentee you most every team will have a losing record when being down by 2 TDs. The point is to not get down by 2 TDs. Seahawks won the Super Bowl and got to another on their run game and defense, not their pass game.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
