Haha that article is suggesting we worry about this year because championship windows are small. Ok then, who’s out there? Newton? Winston? Throw our rookie QB out there? Tyrod is our best option for this year. Idk what people are complaining about.

The reality is we have no good options at QB for the upcoming season. Rivers is gone, none of the available veteran QBs look worth it, our default QB is a journeyman and while we have a chance to draft a potential franchise QB, he likely won't do much this year. So yeah, Taylor is our best option, but that isn't saying much at all.

I put Taylor solidly middle of the NFL pack.

I mean we’ll just let the results speak for itself. If he flops, fine. But I’m sure titans fans were judging Tannehill the same way until he started playing well.

Not like we have much choice at this point so yeah, I'll root for him to prove me wrong.

You know that 26th ranked D was winning games for them left and right. :whistlin:

And yeah, their 3rd WR would have had a hard time beating out Benjamin's sorry ass. Their top 2 receivers were Clay with 558 and Shady with 448, barely cracking 1k combined. :facepalm1:

OL was the only place where they were good that year.

Well I haven't looked it up myself but the article that rich posted said they had a top 5 defense in 2017 :dunno:

[Sb4Rivers]

Bet you AL wants to recreate the 1-2 punch of Shady-Karlos,
which he had for a while in BUF.

This was when Tyrod was viable.

Ekeler- ??

I agree, but I really think Tua is the target and we will have move up to #3 to get him. Not sure what that cost in picks. But I think Miami and Patriots have a lot of Ammo.

we also know TT always gets fixed on one player when we have A Position Of Need and best Player is needed. Maybe Lynn and Saban can become buddy’s.

It's from the brain dead fanboys at Bolt Beat. Of course they're wrong, like usual.:shrug:

Here's a link to reality.

Ok let’s.

First game against the Steelers with a a solid, solid defense.

195 yards 37.5% cmp 1 td 1 int. Sacked 7 times. 8 rush 77 yards 1 td. If Rivers was sacked 7 times you wouldn’t blame him. You’d blame the line in front of him. Yet this game ended in a tie.

Second game against the Saints. Team that was one non-call away from making the SB.

246 yards 73.3% cmp 1 td 1 int. Sacked 3 times. 4 rush 26 yards. Looks like he bounced back. They lost by a FG.

Third game against the lowly Jets. You really gonna count this against him? He only played a bit and got injured. Who knows how the rest of the game would have played out?

19 yards 28.6% cmp 0 td 0 int. Sacked 3 times. 4 rushed 22 yards.

Keep in mind, this is an offense tailored for Mayfield.

Ok thanks for the info. I thought he got benched for poor play the 3rd game. I didn't realize he got hurt.

This is often the issue with running quarterbacks.

Their sack number is high as they often "run into sacks" because their lineman don't know where they are. And as they running around, they get hurt.

Asking for your take.

What if TT calls 31 teams bluffs
and stays at #6.

---Tua.
---Isaiah.
---Several OTs

On the board.
This may be what happens.

Who you got ? Tua ?

I am thinking that this may be our scenario.
As much as I like Tua,
the lack of intel and medical reports,
might make trading up,
or even taking Tua @ #6,
a dicey proposition.

There is plenty to be said for getting a Derwin-Isaiah superD,
or going for a sure thing OT.

[blueman]

They’ll have the MRIs on Tua, if they like what they see I would imagine that’s the pick.

Really loving the thought of Simmons on this D. That said we seem to draft good college LBs and make them not so good somehow. I think Simmons doing super for us would also be predicated on all the roll players on D doing their jobs...which is a dicey thing IMHO. Does that make Tua the safer pick? I dunno, this draft can’t cone soon enough.
