For the Tank for Trevor/Justin/Lance Crowd


MHS831

Recommended Posts

A dose of reality.  We are better than a bunch of teams.  Teams that we KNOW will be shopping for a QB:  Washington "so-called" Football team (today proved it), NYJests, Jaxoffville Jags, Indy Clots--all potentially worse than the Panthers.  The Panthers have a QB--his numbers have not been bad--he is just boring--but look at his stats---and the Panthers have 2 more years of him after this one---They are going to keep building around the QB spot.

Devil's Advocate

I am thinking that the New York teams will pick 1 and 2.  I do not see them winning 5 games combined.  I think Miami, Houston, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, Philly, Houston, Minnesota, Washington, and Detroit are questionably worse than we are.   Trevor is out of the question—so is Fields.

Here is how I see the draft (understand that there are 13 weeks to go):

1.      NY Jets (1-15):  Lawrence, QB Clemson.  If they go 2-14, Lawrence is the pick.

2.      NY Giants (3-13) Sewell, LT Oregon.  After Gettlemen is fired, the new guy may deviate from Jones—but I think they protect him better.  (This pick will get a ton of offers from Washington, Indianapolis, Carolina, maybe Minnesota)

3.      Jacksonville (4-12): Fields, QB Ohio State.  The mustache is not the answer. 

4.      Miami from Houston (4-12):  Chase, WR LSU.  The best WR in the NCAA to go with Tua.

5.      Miami (4-12):  Parsons, LB, Penn State.  LB is a need, and Parsons is the cream of the crop.  If this is the case, Washington will be trying to trade up.

6.      Cincinnati (4-11-1):  Bateman, WR, Minnesota.  Burrows needs some targets.

7.      Washington (5-11): Lance, QB, North Dakota State.  Rivera needs a QB to cover his arse.

8.      Denver (5-11): Surtain II, CB, Alabama.  They need a T, but they also need a CB, and this is the top-rated CB.

9.      Philadelphia (5-10-1): Moses, ILB, Alabama.  Philly needs a LB or two.

10.   Detroit (6-10): Moore, WR, Purdue.  Another Moore at WR for the Lions.  Big need.

11.   Minnesota (6-10): Smith, WR, Alabama.  WR is a big need in Minnesota, so is S and IOL.

12.   Carolina (6-10):  Rousseau, DE, Miami. OR Farley, CB Virginia Tech.  Yes, we need a QB and OL help, but there is no value on my board (Sept 27, 2020).  If YGM develops and Burns and Weatherly continue to play well, I think I would take Farley, the best CB in the draft, IMO. 

NOTE: This draft is pretty deep at WR and OL---so grab the stud DE or the best CB in the draft.

Counter point: You somehow have us winning six games. We are not going to win even 5. 

If we continue our current pace, we win 6 games.  With the improved D, I see 5-6.  And then there is this--you nor I know, do we?  Devil's advocate--worse-case scenario.

I do not see 5 wins left...

Falcons we’ll split - 1 win

Lions - 1 win

We’ll split another between Broncos and Vikes - 1 win

 

Thats being generous because I think realistically the Falcons will sweep The Panthers and it’s very possible they lose the Vikes and Broncos games.

Puts them at 2-14 or 3-13....4-12 at very best.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
