Tanking does not guarantee a good QB

Just play for the wins.

I hate the concept of tanking. Loosing on purpose is some cowardly BS.

That being said...the easy part of our season is over, our secondary is banged up, and our starting QB is the guy everyone assumed was a camp body before the 3 people ahead of him got broken. We may not have to tank ON PURPOSE, it may just happen organically.

People love to point that out but it’s an incomplete statement.

You are correct that a top-10 QB doesn’t guarantee they will be good but the chance of an early QB being better is higher than the later ones.

Maybe the top-10 ones only work out 20% but if they later ones only work out 5% that is 4 times more likely. 

This sums it up perfectly. If we want to draft our next franchise QBs taking one in the first round is shown to have the highest success rate and it’s not even close.

You got any actual numbers on that for the last 5-10 years? Not arguing just curious. Lamar, Carr, Hurts, Cousins, probably a couple more that may not be the most ideal guys but haven't had much competition as far as losing their jobs. Those are basically 2nd round or later guys

Most Top 10 busts are because HCs got caught up in the hype of a player. Bryce Young is a perfect example of that. At 6' he's going to have to be dang good to overcome his height in the NFL. 

Yes it scares me but you can be a successful Qb in the NFL and be short, just look at Brees and Wilson both top QBs in their prime.

From an organizational standpoint, purposefully losing games is a great way to instill a losing culture and make your team undesirable to coaches and players. I don’t think purposefully losing should never be considered a reasonable plan. 

With that said, there is a middle ground between losing on purpose and sacrificing your future to win meaningless games. Once your chances of the playoffs are essentially over, the best thing to do imo is to put in some younger players to develop them and see what you have going into the offseason while still actually trying to win games

Wtf is wrong in this place. It’s like our franchises greatest player wasn’t selected #1.

How often does that happen?  Luck, Goff, Baker, Murray since then. Before Cam it was Sam Bradford I think lol. Easily just as many successful QB's teams picked up without tanking for the number 1 spot

That's two people out of many. Yes they had the skill to overcome their size but that's only two people who did. Most end up like Mayfield and Manziel.

Burrow looks the part. Stafford has shown he can with the right coach/staff.  Luck was solid, Lawrence is looking the part this year with a decent coach.

It takes being in position to take the guy you want.  That's all that matters.  You don't want to feel like a guy fell into your lap or you're settling.  You're in position, and get the guy you want.  

Brady is an outlier so with that in mind, just look at the final 4 QBs in recent years...don't even know what this means, if anything shows coaching matters just as much, but it's a lot of high end R1 QBs:

2021: Mahomes (R1), Burrow (1 Overall), Stafford (1 Overall), Jimmy G (R2)

2020: Rodgers (R1), Brady, Allen (R1), Mahomes (R1)

2019: Tannehill (R1), Mahomes (R1), Rodgers (R1), Jimmy G (R2)

2018: Goff (1 Overall), Brees (R2), Brady, Mahomes (R1)

2017: Bortles (R1), Brady, Cousins (R4), Wentz/Foles (R1/2)

2016: Rodgers (R1), Ryan (R1), Ben (R1), Brady

2015: Palmer (R1), Cam (1 Overall), Peyton (1 Overall), Brady

2014: Luck (1 Overall), Brady, Rodgers (R1), Russ (R3)

Can't wait until Brady retires...jeeez

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
