Looking back would you rather have Watson and a vet LT or Icky/Corral

The fact that we would have had to given up so much to get him is what bothered me the most. It would have crippled the team for years and he would have had to be better than peak Cam to overcome that.....which he definitely isn't.

I love Cam, and think he’s a great QB, but Deshaun is better. I have no problem admitting that. He’s also been more consistent and if we’re to go by his 2020, he’s ascending and hasn’t even reached his peak.

This team is too good to be top 5 in the draft next year. I also don’t think they’re good enough to contend, as I see 6-11 or 7-10 as our most likely end. If Corral busts, then we will be “crippling” the team anyways to get in range for a QB. Lord forbid if Ickey busts. Watson is the sure thing. 
 

But, it’s all moot now. We’ve chosen our path. I hope it works.

If Deshaun is better those are big shoes to fill. At his best Cam went on a Super Bowl run with Ted Ginn and Jerricho Cotchery. His best receiver was a TE. Watson has a very good group around him overall in Cleveland. It's now or never for playoff runs.

Again, I love Cam and think he’s the best QB this franchise has had, and overall is a great QB. What he did with the tools he was dealt, is nothing short of amazing. I don’t agree with you that he’s better than Watson, but that’s cool; we just think differently. 
 

I hope Corral and Ickey are the answer, and if not, I hope we’re in position to grab a QB next year. I would’ve taken the sure thing, but it’s spilled milk now. We’ll see how it goes.

Yep. It's all speculation a this point. Best hope to be good is Corral doing well (and Rhule not fugging things up too bad).

Agreed. 
 

Im rooting for both Corral and Ickey. They’re both exciting players. At the end of the day, I just want my team to win and I want my team to be relevant. I love the Carolina’s and love being from NC. Them being good allows me, a transplant in Atlanta, to boast and brag about how my home is better than others, so I’m hoping it all works.

My thoughts are much like Fitt has expressed.  Although I would've been hyped to get Watson, it still would've stung quite a bit if we had traded all those picks to do so.  So, the best route is to get them young and you get the benefit of them playing on their rookie contract while building a winning team around them, and hopefully, you strike gold with them...  so, that's what we have to hope for with Corral now.  Also, as far as LT, if Ickey projects to what many feel he will, we weren't going to find another LT Luke that available in FA, especially not 21 or 22 years old.  This guy is likely a franchise tackle and will be with us for the entirety of his career.  Same with Corral if he pans out...  so if we hit on them in any sort of fashion, we definitely took the much better route, AND we got to keep our first and second rounders for the next 3 years in the process.  Win, win.

    • Just chasing targets is a fools game. Chase averaged 85 yrds and .76 TDs per game his first year and 87.16 yrds, and .75 TD's per game his second year. Statistically the same. NOT an improvement. Puka saw no increase either. Yes, Waddle's went down because he had to share targets with another receiver - just like TMac will have to share targets with Coker next year so you have actually just made my point concerning Coker. Olave saw an increase in targets but Carr replaced Dalton and even with the increase in targets, his production was pretty flat (83 extra yards and 1 more TD for the entire year). And Wilson's number did increase but the Jets replaced the other two receivers and their contribution was significantly down from Davis's and Moore's. Again, nothing in those numbers should lead anyone to believe there will be a big leap for Tmac next year.       
    • See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase. Coker looks like a really good player, but even the most optimistic person can't say he looks like he has #1 potential, he has very solid to maybe even high end #2 potential.  You're not taking targets away from the reigning OROY who looks like a true Top 15 WR already to get your #2 targets, you increase both of them by taking from the others.
