Would be pretty dumb to spend a large chunk of our remaining cap on a WR when we have glairing needs at CB and Edge. 

You can’t fix every position in a single off-season. There’s not even a CB/Edge available to sign on the same level as D-Hop. 
 

I’m all about getting Young as many weapons as possible. Especially in his first few seasons.

It seems dumb but the more I’ve thought about it, this seems to be the modern day nfl structure for success. An explosive offense that can put up points whenever needed. We definitely have other pressing needs but I’ve seen Patty M go down and tie the game up with 13 seconds left. That was all offense on both sides and buffalo had a really good defense, but what matters most is can you score when you need to. The best way to get to that level is an unstoppable offensive group and good coaching. Your defense needs stops when it matters most but these elite offenses seems to be the way for success for example the Bengals lately.

This is true, however outside of Kelce, KC's offense isnt exactly loaded with studs.  They just happen to have a transcendent QB.

What I'm getting from this is his market isn't as strong as anticipated. If so, I think we need to offer on him. 

I think it's more likely that the main teams he wants to go to don't currently have the cap room to give him offers that the other teams have given him (like the Titans or Patriots) and he's trying to wait for the better teams to clear up some cap room to give him a better offer.

Yeah I’m on this line of thought. I don’t think this team can get to a SB before young’s 1st contract is over so I think the next 2-3 years is about helping him develop and drafting well.

Absolutely hate it. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

rotoworld was already trending the wrong way, I used to always go there for player news, trades, etc. across the sports but they got rid of some sports entirely and others have gotten less coverage/more delayed reporting. that combined with the new eyesore of a format/website and I may be done with it

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
