I'm OK with trading down, but that's because my preferred style of play favors a guy like Michael Pratt who's likely to be available later in the first round. he's the sort of guy who makes the job of the O-line easier because of his speed, he's got the fastest 40 time of the QB prospects in...
There's gonna be a lot of negativity toward Zappe because people don't want him anywhere near the starting job. They don't want Brissett there either. I'm not sure how much of the rampant Zappe hate is because of anything he did or didn't do and how much because people are afraid we won't go...
Ahh. I actually agree with that to a point. bottom line I disagree that you NEED a first round quarterback. i'd rather have a guy who can play the role and beef up the roster in other areas. I'm a big believer in the ground game. A good ground game, a good line, and a decent QB is how I...
I'm alright with this. you can't have an all star cast from top to bottom and this guy looks like very good depth. Looks like a guy who can create a bit of space in the middle of the field and do a bit of everything, average acceleration but still seems to get open more than his share. A bit...
AND whether you can support them properly. Example: Joe Burrow's career is on the verge of being wasted and Justin Herbert isn't looking so hot either. Those guys ARE franchise defining QBs but terrible roster management means they're getting blown up. Andrew Luck's career was cut short by...
I recommend envisioning the 2002 Buccaneers who won the Superbowl more or less despite their quarterback (Brad Johnson wasnh't a terrible quarterback, but he was about the same level as prime Alex Smith), because they won in the trenches.
You're being very true to your own history.
See? I can use history to predict your behavior. Your history predicts that you will take an awful take, slam your tinpot on your head, dog a trench, climb into it and defend it against all comers, even if everyone's really just coming to poke fun...
To a point. But human nature is what it always was. To wit: you are again arguing even though you know damn well what a weak take that was. As you always have, and as you always will.
Thus I can use history to predict your behavior even though I don't know you personally.
As I said, human...
You just sat there and with a straight face said that history has nothing to do with the present.
Ivan, I've argued with you in the past and I know how hard it is to get you to admit you're wrong about something but that has to be the single worst take on any subject that I've ever seen in my...
Funny. That's not how it worked for the Chiefs, or the Dolphins, or the bills, when they used guys like Alex Smith and Ryan Fitzpatrick to cover their QB position while they strengthened the rest of the roster. By the time Mahomes, Allen and Tua came in, they already had the assets to build...
Sounds like a perfect low risk high reward guy to me. Give him a flier for 1 year, if it doesn't work you've lost nothing and probably have good draft capital next year. if he turns into Jameis Winston you're still getting bang for your drafting buck.
Something else for you to consider. Let's say we do trade down, build up the linebacking corps and add some meat to the offensive line, and take a QB in the second or third round, and the QB doesn't work out. OK. that sucks, but it happens. the team now probably has another top 10 pick can...
How many picks did we give up to take our last franchise QB in the draft?
The problem is that if you take a QB before your team is actually ready to support them, games still happen between then and now. That young kid gets thrown to the wolves like Sam Howell, Joe Burrow, Tua Tungavailoa and...
Bit of a self fulfilling prophecy there TBH. Half these guys never see the field at all, or only do as backups in situations that are already absolutely dire.
You're right, but the fact that LT is actually MUCH MORE important doesn't seem to occur to many people.
you might chuckle, but your tackles are the guys between the quarterback and the worst of the damage the DL can do to him -- the flying tackles that are coming in at full speed. They're...
Spoken like someone who's never even considered that a team has to actually find attainable targets that they like before acquiring people. This is peak "just go get someone." The best part of this thinking is that it is so uncontaminated with actual intelligent thought that it actually goes...
