So, I've been thinking about this today. I considered making a new thread about it, but didn't feel post-worthy. While they are on track for a high pick that could net them one of the top QBs, I am also coming to terms with the fact that this team needs a hell of a lot more than just a QB to go anywhere, even if that QB is great. Look at Carolina this year - they traded away what is currently the 1st overall pick this year to go get Bryce Young and they're 0-5 because their roster still sucks and Young can only do so much.

So, I think maybe (and it kinda sucks to say but it is what it is) the right road, especially if Bill stays, is to acquire a veteran at QB and use your picks and cash to overhaul the roster. When I think about it, getting Kirk Cousins would do a lot. He's a veteran, he's a leader, he can bring some stability, and while he'll be more expensive than a rookie, he's a free agent in 2024 so maybe you can get him for a decent price from Minnesota this year and extend him now. Then you can keep that high pick and get your tackle of the future, or trade down a little with a team that's chasing a QB and get a #1 WR plus other good picks that you can use to plug the other many holes on the team that you didn't already fill in with your fairly high amount of cap space available in 2024 onward.

Just a thought. It seems like the quickest way to get the team pointed in the right direction and back towards becoming a "contender", though you're still without a long term QB. However you can just keep drafting dudes later til you hit, you can draft 2nd/3rd round QBs or trade up into the late 1st for a guy with upside. Rodgers went 24th, Hurts was a 2nd rounder.

Thank you for bringing up the most disastrous scenario of all.
Yeah, lets bring in the highest paid looser in the history of sport who cant win with top weapons.
Lets pay him top $ all nicely guaranteed and throw him behind the ****show here. Should work like a charm.

The worst thing about it is that the ****show and BBs MO make this nightmare all too real..


When I think about it,

So, please. Dont. Think. Please.
