Anyone else shamelessly 'pro tank'? (Lay on the floor for Sheduer)

The player to tank for was Caleb Williams. Which we did, sorta.

Crazy how many years it would have benefited us to pick No. 1 in the draft and we won some random games.  Then the one year we finally earn it again, we don't even have the pick.  It really can't get much worse than that.

I would say they are cursed, but it really comes down to stupidity

you all know that the #1 ranked QB in the nation (who happens to be Beck, not Sanders) can change a lot.  Some underdog will surface (like Burrow, Nix) and some sure fire #1 overall will drop (Howell, Rattler, e.g.)---About Sanders--can you imagine dealing with his father and him during contract negotiations?  Yikes.  I like UGA's Beck, and there are about two or three sleepers who could step up this year.  Ewers, for example. My dark horses?  Donovan Smith, Houston, Will Howard, Ohio State, and my favorite--Jalon Daniels, Kansas (needs to stay healthy).  However, any of these QBs could emerge as a top 10 draft pick:    Dart (Ole Miss), Milroe (Bama) or Gabriel (Oregon).  So many names we just do not know that well due to the transfer portal, but there is some strong potential. 

 

I still hope Bryce becomes the guy.  Now or never.

As bad a pick and player/draft capital management as occurred to get Bryce Young.  I do not want Sanders on our Panthers.  Riley Leonard may be the next big QB in the draft to really position for.  There are certainly others as well.

    • That's also in an era when DBs could press for 10 yards, Qbs could be hit, QBs could have players land on them, incidental contact could be made with the head etc. You can't compare bryce to players like this. What you can do is say who's done less over their first 30 starts and had more resources dedicated to them and at that point you're looking at like Joey Harrington.  At least with Joey there weren't morons in the fan base falling over themselves to compare him to players from the first year of the NFL merger. 
    • Brees had a pro bowl year in year 3. Phillip Rivers was drafted anyways and Brees went off for two more years before his shoulder was completely torn up in the last game of the 2006 season. 
    • The last time this franchise was in this much despair pre Tepper, the rumors of the banner flyover were met by the front office. They quickly worked with the disgruntled fans to quell any potential negative event occurring at the Stadium or TV. The real question is do we even have enough fans that care to get together behind a movement like this again or is our fan base too far gone that we dont care to revolt like this? Personally, I still go to games each year no matter how terrible it is, but it has went from something I spent all week looking forward to almost as enjoyable as yearly physical. We can count the blunders this franchise has made in keeping Head Coaches, General Managers and players too long. (Rivera,Rhule, Hurney, Fitterrer). Team wise we've missed out on Herbert, we didnt trade Burns for 2 1st round picks, we reached by taking Bryce who would have most likely been were we were going to draft anyway, and extended players who constantly underperformed like Ian Thomas. Even when we are gifted a chance like 2 first for Burns that we shouldnt have paid premium, we fumbled a chance to really jump start the franchise. So this is more to everyone as a whole. How much of your Soul for this team is left? Is it still there that if there was a glimmer of hope, you'd come right back or has the futility of this team negated your love for football completely?
