Is this a bold prediction? Having the field vs one player the odds are obviously going to be in favor of the field except for a year with a generational talent like Lawrence/Luck.

And see. . .you proved my point and didn't even realize it.  Any of the top QB's in this draft at this point can be considered average at best yet we mortgaged our future and gave up major draft capital to move to one for no one generational.  If our pick at 1 turns out to be great, we lucked into it.

Luck is always a part of it. Fitterer said you don't make that move unless you have conviction. Conviction from the previous staff meant nothing. Conviction from this staff and their combined decades of experience makes it more than just about luck. They could still miss, but the odds are better with this group than probably any group we've ever had.

Interesting the Mayer to Dallas call because that's the comp I keep coming up with for Mayer - Jason Witten. You watch those guys play and there's nothing eye popping about them. They check all the boxes physically but there's not a lot of highlight reel plays. They just block effectively, get open, and catch balls. Over and over again.

Precisely.  Definitely a Jason Witten, Todd Heap type

Otherwise at TE, I have grown to be all about Tucker Kraft.  Doesn't have the injury concerns Schoonmaker or Musgrave brings, but blocks, gets open, and is a pain in the bazooka to take down.  

My ideal path is still a trade down from 39.  Would love a draft landing:

1) Bryce Young

2-from trade) DJ Turner/Julius Brents

3-from trade) Tucker Kraft

3-2) Tyler Scott

4) Kendre Miller

5) Braeden Daniels (or) EDGE

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
