Why Winning Now Will Cost Us About 15 Years

[ForJimmy]

Russ Wilson, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott, and Teddy Bridgewater (that’s right!) we’re all bottom of the first round or later draft picks.

I get what you guys are saying but I also think that football is very different than most sports where there are so many players. A QB being the most important obviously. 

But there is no sure thing. We had the #1 overall pick in Cam and how many winning seasons did we have with him? It takes a lot more than 1 player. 

Yes and with cam alone he was able to push us to the bring of a super bowl and a 15-1 franchise best season ever. Thats the power of a number 1 pick. He lead us to 3 back to back division titles...  the nfl all time leader in rushing touchdowns at the qb position and he's only 31? That cam? He was a generational talent. Those don't fall.

Recent number 1 over all picks at QB position.

Joe Burrow - TBD

Kyler Murray - TBD

Baker Mayfield - Still TBD...but.....meh

Goff - Anyone impressed?

Winston - Mr 30/30

Luck - Colts never achieved anything

Newton - We know what happened

Sam Bradford - Greatest Conman ever to get those contracts

Stafford - ..um ok

Jamarcus Russel - No comment

Alex Smith - I mean.  He was ok

 

I can see why one would think, based on the last 15 years, that a number 1 over all pick QB is required to go to the Superbowl.

You guys are dense.

 

Every one of those picks required random chance to happen. 

You'd rather rely on random chance vs controlling your own destiny and picking the guy you absolutely want without having to compromise (skill set)

Cam wasn't alone.  We had a good offensive line, Stewart and Olsen were very good, and our defense got a lot of takeaways. In fact, without some critical Josh Norman int's, and a boatload of turnovers committed by famous Jameis, we might have started that season 1-3 or 2-2 as the offense was struggling.  Yeah the receivers weren't probowlers, but there are other positions on the field that are important.

I heart spanish radio highlights so much and I don't speak a lick of spanish.  I was in the nosebleeds at BOFA for the 2015 NFC Championship game when we destroyed Arizona and the entire row in front of us was hispanic guys with their capes. Every time we scored a touchdown they went apeshit. It wasn't just the most fun I've ever had at a football game, it was was of the greatest nights of my life.  Hispanic football fans are a blast. Those guys know how to celebrate big plays.

Good offensive line? That line that ended up being the number 1 reason we lost to the broncos? The one von Miller and the gang  Decimated? The line was exposed vs good pass rushers. Cam extending plays made the look better than they were.

[Oldmanrivera]

your logic is so broken, and is why you are getting dumped on as hard as you are. just stop man.

Nah.  It was good.  Denver made us look bad, but then they made everybody look bad.

Not talking about that list.

I'm saying the teams that got those players got lucky because the other teams didn't take their player.

Face it the odds of getting the guy you want most goes down with every spot in the draft.
