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.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
