How many top 5 pick QBs are going to be in the playoffs this year?

 

It doesn't matter if they're top 5 pick QBs or not. It's about being in the best position available to bring the right players to your team. You think Texans fans are cheering their heads off because they won today, or are they lamenting the fact that they now have the 2nd choice of QBs? The win matters only in the fact that it can hurt you overall. Realizing that moral victories don't help the franchise doesn't make you less of a fan. It just means you recognize that a single win is can be the difference between drafting Peyton Manning vs Ryan Leaf.

What is sad is a franchise whose fans argue and fight over draft position and losing. I hope we can get back back to playoff ball and meaningful games in January. We made some headway this year and hopefully we can continue the momentum next year. Good finish even though it didn't really increase Wilkes chances or show Darnold in a positive light other than a late drive to win the game.

For some teams out there, that is enough, though.

Better to win than to lose. 

Especially when it doesn't make much difference draft-wise.

That 1 spot, 2 spot, 3 spot difference has been huge in the past and why we wallow in misery. 

What's "huge" in the past may not be huge in the future, though.

We don't know how draft picks will pan out until they do OR DON'T. 

It's always a guessing game and hoping we  hit and others don't.

You have to be in position to get the guy you want. Especially a franchise QB. Sure they may not work out but we are going nowhere if we don’t even get a chance to pick one. That late season W moral victory at Washington 100% cost us Herbert.

you’re right, because nothing is guaranteed it’s better to pick later in the draft

Can you predict the future, Nostradamus?

Can you predict what picks will pan out and what picks won't?

No you can't. 

That's my whole point.   Jesus Christ, Mr. Sarcasm.

I can predict that more players drafted high will be better than players drafted low

Idk why people try so hard to swim upstream against this absurdly mundane fact

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
