For the Tank for Trevor/Justin/Lance Crowd

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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
