Went 7-8 in 2014 and went to superbowl in 2015.  Losing creates loser culture

When you already have a HOF QB and MLB on your roster, yes, you can try to build that winning culture by winning meaningless games.

But when you don't even have a Pro Bowl player on your roster, it's an entirely different story

Literally apples and oranges

No, because we haven't actually thrown in the towel to get that higher draft pick since the Clausen season

We keep trying to win meaningless games and hurting our draft position, so how can we learn from something we haven't done in over a decade?

Prioritizing talent evaluation is more important than tanking for the #1.  Until this franchise figures that out, we have a much higher chance of wasting high round picks.

I was against firing Rhule in season as it was only going to make us a better team in a worthless season and hurt our draft stock.

I was against benching Bryce for the same reason.

We're going to end up int he 7-10 draft pick range, yet again showing we can't even suck properly.  This franchise is going to forever be stuck in NFL purgatory, never picking at the top of the draft (unless we make a stupid trade again) but never good enough to actually compete for the playoffs.

You can't do that in the real world.

It not only screws over veteran players who are looking for new contract or playing out  their last few seasons but likewise short circuits young players who are trying to launch a career.

Add in that it guarantees nothing.

Again... we've tried that for the past decade since the SB season, it hasn't worked out in that entire time

That's what is so frustrating for the people advocating for "building a winning culture" or "evaluating talent" as we've tried it, it doesn't work when you just flat out don't have players with elite potential.

On our entire roster, DB and Horn are the only 2 players right now with legit elite potential.

Legette has very good potential, but he's never going to be a Top 10 WR in this league (which is okay, not every player has to be Top 10 at their position).

If you don't luck into finding absolute studs with mid round picks or build a nice base of star players with a bunch of Top 5 picks in successive years, you're never going to have a SB contending team.

you're right, it guarantees nothing, but you know what going 5-12 or 6-11 does every season?

It guarantees that you're never going to have a contending team.

You become the Dalton era Bengals at best, and even then, you still have to get lucky on hitting on a non 1st round QB and a solid but not great coaching staff.

I'd rather suck and go for hoping to hit with our high draft picks for a few seasons than get stuck in NFL purgatory because I can look at the big picture and it doesn't make losing hurt anymore.

Worst take

And the same people who say that now will be the same ones complaining 5 years from now that we still can't find a franchise QB, have no All Pro caliber players, and can't see any way we contend in the near future... you know, the same place we were about 5 years ago

We aren’t far removed from evaluating talent. If fell off at approximately the time that Tepper inherited the franchise. So until we get some personnel in who can find quality players, your process is going to look a lot like drafting a QB like Bryce.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
