Was the year that 5 QB's were taken in the 1st round. Only one of them panned out with any success. Donavan McNabb.

The other 4, Tim Couch 1st, Akili Smith (one year wonder)3rd, Duante Culpepper 11th, and Cade McNown 12th, could all be considered to have been taken way too high.

This is a similar year in that there are several QB's being talked about, argued over, debated and such but none are a slam dunk. Emotions played a part in many teams who needed a QB, drafting one well ahead of where they should have been on their draft board. Most teams ultimately were hurt by this.

If the Panthers at No 1, do like the Browns and pick a QB just because they need one, when he will definitely not be on the board that high, then i am afraid we will end up like the Browns who paid for the move for years and years.

The best bet is to try to create the same environment that was around in 99, and have someone, like AZ, switch places with us and give us their second.

Second round is the place where most of these guys belong anyway.

At 5, take Green, Dareus, Miller, or Peterson, all who would be worthy of pick 5, and then, if need be, take Mallet in the second. He is just as risky as the others, but he has great skills, especially for the run first offense we will run.

Best scenario, a month out.

What is your best scenario?

why is it you're scared to take a chance if you think the team would be better if it took someone other than a QB at #1?

it's not like this is our only chance to land a qb *ever.* Hopefully it's our only #1, but other teams have shown that you can draft a QB after #1 and they can still turn out better than just "game manager" or whatever the fear is around here.

At least he didnt steal any laptops eh?

You're obviously apart of the Cam smear campaign and he BOUGHT a stolen laptop, didn't actually STEAL it.

Can't believe you're actually trying to justify snorting cocaine over buying a stolen laptop

Incompetence eh?

The 1999 draft is nothing like this One. For one the 1999 draft was said to be a great quarterback class at the time. Infact most people said it has the ability to rival the 1983 class. The 83 class was said to be the best ever and since most see this years class as bad, it far fetched to say this is as good as that one. Akili smith himself said he wishes he had half the athleticism of newton. Part the reason for smiths downfall was off the field problems and low work ethic.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Yes. Fitt said he liked Young for two years. He hitched his wagon to him. Reich and Young were going 2-15, nothing I said we should get would have saved him. A new coach plus Tepper (and Morgan) would have wanted the draft assets we kept or got to be used by a better GM/Coach. SMH, you need to read my post and your own again. You said: “So we should have sold off all of our talent and what?” I was being sarcastic that they still were in the roster because the guys you are saying we shouldn’t have sold off got sold off anyway but instead of getting full value, we got scraps. We had an opportunity to sell at the highs and instead we let the stocks lose 50-75% and then sold them. Because we didn’t tank in 2022 when the Rams basically handed the idea to us, we either set the team back several years to where we won’t do anything and will be back at the drawing board or kept enough talent off the team that we may make the playoffs but we still won’t be a top team like an extra handful of 1st rounders could have gotten us.

      It was nothing. It was a nice run in an easy schedule that did nothing but lose us DJ Moore and a lot more. We were 2-15 in 2023. Based on your logic, that winning finish should have been a launching point. For as much as you want to say we shouldn’t have taken a risk, you still can’t admit that the plans we tankers laid out were proven correct. There’s no revisionist history. We said we should have traded Burns to the Rams. We said we should have sold off anything not bolted down like Brown and Horn and even Icky because they were in the 5 year plan. There is no disconnect, we tried to keep winning and draft a rookie QB and we lost about 4 1st round picks of value that could have been given to the guys you think might be the right crew.
