Easy you're going to hurt his brain

My brain already hurts reading day in day out that Wilks is a good HC and Corral is better than all the QBs in this draft. Plus I’ll add people saying moral victories are worth more than an actual assets in draft capital

2022 (so far): 3 wins / 11 games

60 total games,18 wins, 50 losses

It's accurate 😕

And literally 2020 is the only season you could even say felt kind of good.  At least there was some hope.

The last QB (not named Manning) selected in the top 5 to win a SB for the team that drafted them was Troy Aikman in 1989. Elway would have been the last top 5 QB to win a SB in 1997/1998 if you allow for draft day trades. It took him 15 years to win a SB for the Broncos. 

Hard pass. Trade down.

Jeff George, Drew Bledsoe, Rick Mirer, Heath Shuler, Steve McNair, Kerry Collins, Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, Donovan McNabb, Akili Smith, Michael Vick, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Carson Palmer, Phillip Rivers, Alex Smith, Vince Young, JaMarcus Russell, Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford, Mark Sanchez, Sam Bradford, Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Blake Bortles, Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, Mitchell Trubisky, Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Kyler Murray, Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, and Trey Lance have been all the rest since Troy Aikman's success for the Cowboys.

These are the type of QBs that get you no where and traditional scouting misses on.

 Do you want to add to this list? I know there are some that will continue to hang on to hope for Murray, Burrow, Tua, Lawrence, Wilson, and Lance since they are the newest to the long line of top drafted QB flops. A couple of them may get to McNair, Collins, Ryan, and Newton levels, but they will at best be a 10+ year franchise QB who never wins you the big game against QBs that scouts believed were lesser value QBs coming in to the NFL.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
