Most fans would rather have a few meaningless wins than try to build to get back to the superbowl 

If there was another Mahomes in the draft, our fans would still want to win 

I guess we really are not football smart 

And he was selected 10th overall. So what is your point if we fall a few spots?

I hate to say it, but if you want to win every week, you are following the wrong team. Ever since Cam got lit up and his shoulder officially died, we are 20-49. We are 0-4 against good teams and 4-4 against bad teams. We are squarely in the mediocre to bad teams.

I’m switching to playoff rooting because I think we do have a shot after all the losses today, especially considering 7-10 could win this division. We have 1 good team left on the schedule so we aren’t in line for a top 5 pick.

Truth bomb

We're stuck in quarterback purgatory. A lot of posters said this would happen, just as it has, years ago.

We can only get lucky now, and it might take years. This is bad news considering the league is transitioning from the quaterback era to one where there will be possibly 20 teams seriously looking at quarterbacks every year. It's going to be much harder to get lucky.


Yup. Finding that elite QB was always going to be luck. It always is. I really think we’ll be in QB purgatory for a long time. Most teams are.

Mahomes - 10th overall pick

Watson - 12th overall pick

Josh Allen - 7th overall pick

Justin Herbert - 6th overall pick

Lamar Jackson - 32nd overall pick

Jalen Hurts - 53rd overall pick

 

Would I prefer a top 2 pick to have our choice of QB prospects? Sure. But let's not act like it's the be all end all to getting out of QB hell. Hell, look at the litany of QBs in the past few drafts that went in the top 5:

Darnold

Mayfield

Trubisky

Goff

Trey Lance

Zach Wilson

For every Joe Burrow or Cam Newton at #1 overall, there's a Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff out there.

You know how people keep bringing up how that early pick on a QB isn't a guarantee?

You know how people keep bringing up how we had an opportunity to draft Fields?

The less teams in front of you the better. It's all about the math. The "results" are unknown for every player drafted in every round. You want the widest selection possible without having to trade up.

It's quite simple.

Justin Fields went 11th overall my guy.

edit: and everyone was saying he was a bust until about 3-4 weeks ago.

That makes literally no sense.

Right, cause tanking and getting all these QBs over the years in the top 5 worked for Cleveland, Detroit, NYJ, etc. 

There is no Luck, Newton, or Mahomes in this draft. 

Wanting to lose is such a weak mentality. You’re gonna lose out and piss of the players and run away potential Free Agents to draft the next Brady Quinn, Zach Wilson, or Dwayne Haskins. 
 

You want to win, change the culture, win on Sundays, attract FAs, keep your players happy, and take BPA. 
 

Get that loser mentality poo out of here.

Yes it worked so well for the Jets, Lions, and Browns all those years. God you’re so right.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
