You need to start wondering what you'd give up to get Lawrence

TB is very angry and determined to win. I'm sure in the back of his mind he knows if we beat enough poop teams he can remain as our QB. He's going to stay focused and fight like crazy to hang on for the next 3 seasons, and by then he might get another contract as the leader of a middle of the pack team.

Name one dynasty started with a QB taken first overall.

And then explain to me what makes Trevor different than any other 1st overall QB.

I'll wait fam. You can finish throwing your delusional temper tantrum first.

So what is the best pick to get a great qb? #1 or  #17 o r#47 or #147?  Which pick has had the most hall of fame qbs? Or are you really comparing the #1 to every other pick in the whole draft?

Just venting on this, I’m coming around to the idea of being in the 4-7 range and moving down for more capital next year if we can’t get Lawrence or Sewell. Id absolutely give up nothing extra for Lawrence. He’s only worth us organically getting that pick. The teams got so many holes and potential franchise qb just feels like a good starting point for me. If we could get a team super bullish on Chase or Parsons or even Fields, I’d love to get some more picks.

Np, and fwiw, I forgot that KC did give up a couple of first rounders to move up and get Mahomes.  It certainly worked out for them.  Ironic though that neither Mahomes nor Jackson were considered sure fire elite qb's, at least not to the extent Lawrence is.

And you can do that...without the first overall pick? Fhe Bengals had 5 playoff berths with Andy fuging Dalton.

Idk why you guys act like Lawrence iz the best best thing and the 31 other teams are damned forever if they get Lawrence.

Lawrence is damn good and I would love him in Black in Blue but this team has so many other things to look forward to.

Also we're not outtanking the Jets.

Did you just compare the Bengals to the Colts with Manning? The Bengals never got to a Super Bowl dude.

See my reply earlier. We don't need a HoF QB to win a Superbowl or win consistently.

The last dynasty in the NFL had a 6th round QB. Brees is a 2nd round QB. Russ is a 3rd round QB.

Not saying we can't upgrade from Teddy but also lets not act like its Lawrence or bust.

Fields gives me strong Mariota/Locker vibes and I'd rather not tbh.

Yeah and KC was much further along in a lot of ways than we are. Seemed like a smaller risk for them. Just no trading picks, that’s my biggest hope.

They won consistently.

Peyton made it to two Super Bowls with the Colts. Went 1-1 (the loss was to a 2nd round QB btw, who came over as a free agent). 

Y'all forget people used to say Peyton choked in the playoffs.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
