Exactly. How people miss that this is 100% an opinion piece is beyond me. The title doesn’t help, but still it’s right there at the start.

Probably a lot easier to do when you don't actually read it (as I suspect some haven't).

Trading for Mayfield would mean we are literally doing the exact same damn thing to push off the rebuild for the 3rd year in a row.

Glad I was sitting down.....you are not saying we would be doing the same things and expecting different results?

This franchise has never done that before (he says, looking at the skies for the inevitable bolt of lightning).

If Ellis Williams thinks Mayfield is the future we just have another terrible beat writer/reporter. You guys wonder why we don't succeed like big markets? Well big markets hold their teams to much higher standards. Our reporters/writers and a lot of people on here strive for players like Mayfield/Jimmy G and mediocrity. Same thing with the Hornets. Most reporters and fans of good organizations would be pissed at the thought of bringing a Baker Mayfield in.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
