The issue is that there aren’t any elite QB prospects next year. I think his leash is longer than a lot of fans realize…

B-I-N-G-O.  Too bad we didn't wait to take a QB in this historic QB draft.  I mean, nobody saw this coming, right? 

*cough* I did *cough*

That Lawrence draft was suppose to be great. He is the only QB from the 1st still with his team before the rookie contracts are even over. 
I definitely wouldn’t want Bo Nix, Penix has injury flags and is old, Daniels didn’t look great into year 5, JJ wasn’t asked to do much in that offense. These guys are far from being flawless prospects. Let’s see how they turn out.

Calling it historic before games are played is bold 

Or some could see the talented class ahead of time.  Will they all pan out? Of course not, but when you have 6 guys drafted in the top 12 picks, that means it was loaded draft.  Teams didn't just grab a QB because they needed one.  It wasn't a case of impulse shopping in the check out line.

Well wait.

They are building a team as we speak to cater to a under equipped player’s deficiencies.

Put a little differently they are overbuilding it to compensate for the design flaws of a weak component. 

No one would design an NFL QB with Bryce Young as their template. 

No. One. 

It is always around this point that I get really pissed off or frustrated and lose the thought or point I am going for, because I look at it and realize that what I just wrote, is 100000% true.  

So I lost the point again. Sorry 45.

I get so pissed off at the decision makers that put this on us.

It isn’t about whether Young is a good kid. Doesn’t matter. Besides that he has no underdog cred, at all, and that is the only reason I’d have to ignore my good sense.

Yup, nobody hates the kid.  Heck, he seems like the kind of guy you want your daughter to merry.  Super character guy.  However, he's in a line of business that unfortunately necessitates certain physical traits that he simply doesn't have. 

I wasn't thrilled with last year's QB class and thought we should build the skill positions to help out a rookie QB this draft class.  Next year we are looking at Dieon's son, Ewers and several guys that I'm very iffy on.  Maybe one or more has as Joe Burrow type of season.  Even so, unless Bryce just has a melt down, I highly doubt we are looking to move on until the 2026 draft.  Probably by then he'll be just good enough to keep out of the top 10 or 15.

"Teams didn't just grab a QB because they needed one."

Also, Bo Nix taken 12th overall.

So Denver didn't have a first round grade on him?  Granted that was rich for pick 12, but he wasn't lasting until round 2 and they knew that.

Bryce needs to show improvement.  For that to happen, he needs his OL to play better, the running game to be productive, his WRs and TEs to catch the ball, and a coaching staff that has a plan and vision.

If Bryce doesn't show the ability to play in the NFL then we'll be picking high again and can try to QB lottery again.

The pressure is on him to produce.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Hypothetical question draft content*

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
