An average QB is still abysmal on this offense. In fact, let's be real, Mac would probably be average if you place him on a better offense. Just for posterity, Mac is ranked 16 in yards, ranked in a tie at 14 for TD's. 25th in passer rating and 27 in Y/A. On a team with a good offensive line that gives time and a solid number 1 receiver who can get seperation (along with the lack of penalties we get) he's pretty average. You take the average QB's in the league right now and throw them on this team and they are regressing to where Mac is. Only the really good QB's are going to stay in that average range here. Someone like Mahomes who can make something out of nothing. Look at what CIN offense is doing to Joe Burrow right now. You think throwing him on here is going to fix this **** sandwitch? Ain't happening. Needs a lot more work.I agree with everything but the last part.
We need a WR and a QB.
That will solve everything.
QB remains the crucial position in the game and it impacts everything.
The offense was constructed with a t least a mediocre QB in mind. That shouldn't have been too much to ask. It's the least you hope for, and if you don't get it, you're done.
We've taken one shot at WR in the last several drafts and it hasn't worked out. We have to commit more resources this year.
If, say, we had taken Pickens, then suddenly Bourne, Parker, Douglas and even Boutte would look good, and things would open up.
2 players is all it takes.
The offensive line is also objectively horrible. That's a huge need right now. The pocket collapses instantly and the run blocking sucks. It effects everything. This team is simply not as close as just needing two players.
