Sam Howell? :thinking:

Don't get a hung up on the names. You can exchange players here if you prefer Wilson over Fields (as I know some do) or if you think there's a better 2021 prospect than Howell, but the basic premise of the question is this:

Would you prefer to get one of your second choices in the coming draft or would you be willing to wait a year to get someone who would be a top choice in the next?

I definitely agree.  This team is performing well above expectations and next year those one score losses will turn into one score wins.

If we get some O-line help we could do well and won't be in the top 10.

Granted, but if you've used this year's offseason to build a better roster, then maybe trading up is a more reasonable option.

I prefer to get a QB this year. We could be a fringe playoff team next year with Teddy and will not have as good of an opportunity to get a QB. I like Howell, but that's just not happening and I'd rather not trade up. Much better to get Lance or Wilson this year and let him develop behind Teddy for a year while we build up the OL as well.

I have a sense that the prospect of watching another year of Bridgewater may affect some people's answers.

He's almost certainly going to be the starter next year regardless of what happens in this draft, unless the impossible happens and we wind up with Lawrence. We have the luxury of starting Bridgewater for a year and we're paying him to be the starter next year anyways, and all of Fields/Wilson/Lance could use some time on the sideline to continue to develop before being thrown to the wolves, especially behind a shaky OL as it stands right now.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
