Are you going to be the one who tells everyone it’s OK when we’ve gone 3-27 after the “good starts” from 2018 through this year? This season definitely isn’t over, but when you finish 3-24 before this year WTF is there to talk about other than draft slots and prospects? I don’t seem to remember any draft talk during 2013-2017. I wonder why? It’s not because some of us aren’t super fans like you, it’s because at the midpoint of the season it’s unfortunately been obvious that we weren’t going to the playoffs.

We all can’t be a better fan like you who keeps this team on track and hopeful with you undying support. I don’t know where these players would be without you. Those of us who enjoy the draft process will start thinking draft as @PhillyB said when we lose enough that we know the season isn’t ending in playoffs.

Also, because I still don’t think it registers with you elite fans, we enjoy the draft because it gives us hope that we’ll find a Luke or Cam or Gross or Moore, etc. Amazingly enough we actually want to draft well so gasp, we make the playoffs again. Man, pompous asses who actually think they are better than others are truly annoying and not fun at parties. Drink a beer, relax and enjoy yourself without thinking so much about other people that you start a stupid thread like this.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
