Please don’t screw this up

Yep. While I will continue to argue that winning this season is meaningless. 
I have pretty much come to team that the team sucks and sucking. 
We will likely be drafting out of the top 5 and other than Stroud or Young no other QB is worth a 1st round pick, or at least not a high one. 
So get read for another JAG QB next year or we better hope Corral plays above his 3rd round status. 
But I don’t have much hope for this.

My brother in Christ, if you're spending your Sundays in November worrying about a thursday in April I think you need to hear this today:

 

Let the draft chips fall where they may. Because the one thing that's even less certain than what the draft order will look like next year is which QB at the top of the board will actually emerge as a franchise QB.

Either way

I would be willing to bet that the raiders move back with some other qb needy team to acquire some picks.  


The Lions have two first rounders. 8 and 11 I think. I’m sure the Raiders would love those.

QBs in the top 10 historically do not win SB championships for the team that drafted them.

You can hope for your Bradshaw, Manning or Aikman, but you'll have more return with a Brady, Wilson, Foles, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Warner, Johnson, Favre, Brees, Montana, Unitas, or Staubach.

1965, 1967, 1970, 1979, 1982, 1983, 1989, 1998, 2004, and 2017 are the 10 drafts that produced a top 10 SB winning QB for the team that drafted them/traded for them on draft day.

2 - 3 - 9 - 3 - 1 - 6 - 11 - 6 - 13 [the year spread between top 10 QBs]

Considering the Mannings are of the same family, you have large gaps in between a top 10 QB who is immediate championship level. We had to wait 11 seasons for the Mannings and then another 13 seasons for Mahomes. The impact of top 10 QBs have been a rare find over the past 3 decades thanks to free agency and rookies only having 3 to 4 years to prove themselves for a new contract since 2011.

I expect the next top 10 QB to win a championship for the team that drafts him to be Arch Manning in the 2027 draft (10 seasons after Mahomes) and then we may not see another until 2040.

Reality hurts. Stop drafting QBs in the 1st round and you will have a better chance of championship success.

Christianity convinces you that you are broken, so it can be the glue to put you back together.

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
