From our front office making some extremely boneheaded deal before the deadline 

Yeah the loss itself was tough and this team showed a ton of grit but I can’t help but think they would’ve done something incredibly dumb because we would’ve been in first place 

When we stumbled into the playoffs in 2014 at 7-8-1 we had our franchise QB and having them gain valuable playoff experience was worth it.

It is much different when we’re looking for our QB still. Those draft slots are more valuable now

When it looks like Bryce and Stroud are the only 1st rounders at QB, we really need to be in position.  The entire NFC will be needing QBs next year subtract Dallas, Philly & MIN.  Seriously, the entire conference.  

Trading up for one will not be easy.  Today was a heartbreaker but it is true.

They’re going to identify their guy and do whatever they can to go get him. I much rather see them move up from 7 than 18 or something 

Ideally a team that has a QB is in the top 3. Like Jacksonville. Although I don’t think Lawrence is all that but they’re one of the very few teams that would likely be willing to trade out

Seriously, that's something I'm realizing this year.  I know JAX hasn't given him much but they've got the guy that even with a bad team, gets QBs to look good.  The running game was a monster, and his arm just doesn't seem good.  His arm strength seems gumby like and he just doesn't create.  Starting to look pretty iffy for me with Trevor.  

My favorite story right now: Tua is turning into the pre-college injury monster everyone thought he was while others were saying Trevor was the next GOAT.  Different drafts but that Trevor noise was loud and for some time much like Luck.  Those were the two mega-hyped ones in the internet age.

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
