Last time we overperformed at the end of the season and fell in the draft order we ended up with McCaffery when we may have gotten Fournette. I doubt we’ll be so lucky again.

Actually it was when we waxed the Saints in Week 17 of 2018, and people were livid that we ruined the franchise by dropping in the draft and losing any chance at an impact player in the draft. 

We ended up picking Brian Burns. He’s now our best player on defense.

You can enjoy a win today and still feel good about getting Trey Lance at 7 or 8. I do.

I was just hoping to be in position to draft our choice of the non-Lawrence QBs. We had a decent chance of that at #3. We have virtually none at 7 or 8.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      That's part of being patient too. Not rushing players into roles they aren't ready for. Make them earn it. If you convince yourself that "so and so" needs to start because they were a first round pick, even though they have done nothing to earn it, you have set up both team and player for failure. You can convince yourself all day long that "there is no substitute for game experience" but if the guy can't do his job in practice, he can't do it in a game. Not consistently, anyway.  Teams like the Steelers, the Ravens and the Packers ROUTINELY bench rookies to start off with and no one bats an eyelash. Even if the team is losing. Because that's what they do. They have set the precedent. The players have to show they are ready. Then they get their chance.

      Let me provide you with some food for thought. Before this "now era" of the NFL, QBs were allowed time to develop. Everyone from the GM to the fans had more patience. QBs were simply better in the old because they were afforded the time to sit, observe and learn. It's no wonder that guys we threw away, or simply didn't want, have had varying degrees of success elsewhere.  Some Huddlers were talking crazy about Jordan Love and Lamar Jackson---just crazy...

      I think the JAG debates are largely people having vastly different definitions of JAG.  The OG JAG LB debate was James Anderson.  And James Anderson is probably going to be ahead of Shaq on my alltime LB list (it's really close though).
