I mean, not really. Maybe Carolina falls into a playoff spot by way of the atrocious NFC South but it's a given they'll get killed by actual competent teams. I guess that's a positive/meaningful to some folks.

I'm not a tanker. Just putting it out there.

Houston should have beat Dallas today, they would have if they had just run a QB sneak. Washington beat the Eagles earlier this year. Vikings got ran off the field by the Cowboys a few weeks ago and then stomped by the suddenly good Lions today. No team is invincible, I'm just going to enjoy this ride until it ends.

No disagreement they'll likely get killed by a competent team. If the rest of the NFC south had even 1 team worth a damn, there would be no need to have this discussion, but we really do have a good chance at winning 3 or 4 of the next 4. We're not in a position to tank and get a top 2 or 3 pick with the remainder of our schedule the way it is, so fug it. Let's win the whole fuggin thing.

Theres no need to call out the tankers. Its not like this franchise has a huge history of winning. If youre going to call them out, I hope youre happy with a lower tier QB and continuing not to become a Super Bowl contender because thats most likely what will happen when we dont get our QB.

They aren’t real fans anyways.  No need to check in on them 

Wtf? So because people want their team to get a top qb so they can be better they aren’t fans? I guess the “real” fans are the ones who want them to constantly be mediocre and blindly praise them?

I want a top QB.  Losing in hopes that a top five pick gets you one is stupid.  See - Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Carson Wentz, etc

    • Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?
    • Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.
    • Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
