Agreed. Franchise QB's do not grow on trees. You get them when you can, keep them healthy and build around them. To early to tell, but you are starting to see this work with Young at Carolina.

Aaaaaaaaaaaabsolutely not.

We've only won because Rico Dowdle has gone for literally 400 yards from scrimmage the last 2 games. Young is awful.

My top 3 RBs I drafted are all on IR and Dowdle is almost single-handedly keeping me at the top of the standings. It’s hilarious lol

Exactly, this offense would have been humming with Emory and Poffburger. Carson likely still transfers here to after Poffburger gets drafted top 5. Go ahead and cook

He went from a third round pick to the #1 pick while making 2 million. We lost our last 3 games and our bowl game because he decided to be a female in the second half. Last season was meaningless. He deffinately benefited more by coming here, it isn't even close

I disagree. QB goes first. If you try to build the team before the QB, chances are, the elite one in the draft won't be there by the time the spot is available.

In the past 10 years, only 4 times has a qb drafted #1 been a starting qb in the Super Bowl. Manning, Cam Newton, Jared Goff and Joe Burrow (each 1 time)

And if you rank your top 5 qbs right now who would be a super bowl contending QB, the majority would not have been drafted #1.

The Chiefs traded up to #10. The Bills traded up for Josh Allen at #12. The Eagles got Hurts in the 2nd. Lamar Jackson went at end of 1st.

Seems to be more evidence of gettting a QB at the right time in the evolution of a team construct is better receipe than it is to blindly throw darts at a QB when you still have a full roster construct to do on top of that. Especially when transcendent talents aren’t available every year at #1.

Lots of Qbs taken #1 have struggled and never took off.

That's because that line of thinking is a fallacy that people fall into. People hated the Mahomes and the Allen picks. Hurts is looking absolutely terrible and nobody expected Lamar to be as dominant as he became in the dropback game because there quite literally was no evidence to support it. And even then, his playing style requires a specific offensive scheme with specific offensive players. The chance of all of these guys not doing anything was quite big.

People look at QB picks and say "Oh, don't take them within the Top 5, there are enough later on" without realizing that the amount of QBs outside of the Top 5 or 6 picks have failed enormously in the NFL. We have math nerds putting this stuff into numbers and the difference is staggering.

The most successful combination in NFL history is a mid-to-late round QB. I don't think anyone will willingly go with that route. And examples like Jared Goff and Baker Mayfield, along with Matt Stafford, point out that drafting a QB early is worth it. Regardless of when a QB is picked, the team has to be there at some point. But by then, I'd rather have Maye than ******* Dillion Gabriel.

Joe Brady seemingly trying to take himself out of consideration with the game he’s called tonight.

Not even on some hindsight bias, that was a bad hire to begin with. His resume really wasn’t that impressive and I thought it was the worst new hire of that off season.
