Thaiphoon Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 We're 5th. We need to go winless the rest of the season, and have the Chargers, Jets, Falcons, and Giants (which would happen if we go winless) end up with 2 wins each. http://www.tankathon.com/nfl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it before. Unless something drastic happens, I'm either: 1) Stuck with him as owner until I die 2) Going to be done with this team 3) Going to be done with the NFL in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel pretty strongly that the Chargers and Falcons will each win 3 games at the least. They have too much talent (the Falcons on offense and the Chargers on both sides of the ball frankly) to be in the mix with these other bum squads. To me, based on what we’ve seen so far, the real contenders for the #1 pick are the Jets (head and shoulders favorites in my book, they’re the 2019 Bengals of this season), Giants, Jaguars, Bengals, and of course WFT. If Stafford gets injured or Lock doesn’t come back anytime soon, DET and DEN might have a shot at poking their head in there. My last point (which I started making before I got distracted and @MikeT14 jumped in and stole my thunder with his concise wisdom 😂) is that we really should win a lot of tiebreakers. It hurts that we’re playing two pretty good divisions, but our division is so bad that it should balance out. And then against the Giants, the only schedule difference is they have Chicago and Tampa Bay while we have Detroit and Carolina. I would think there’s very little chance they’ll take a tiebreaker over us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavar703 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 We’ll get one of the big three at QB and I’m cool with that. I like all three of them even though Lawrence would be ideal. I like Trey Lance more than Fields because I think his skill set is insane. NDSU is the Alabama of the FCS so it’s not like he’s playing for scrubs. Ultimately I think he’s the pick anyway. I’d love to have Sewell but unless we get the second pick I think he’s going to the Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that if we go winless the rest of the season and they win at least 2-3 games each. we have a real shot at #1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am not saying this for the LULZ, but our fanbase will not be able to handle spending a top 5 pick on an FCS QB. If you want to see this fanbase implode from already low levels, watch what happens if we draft Lance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to see this fanbase implode from already low levels, watch what happens if we draft Lance. Honestly, I don’t care anymore. I’ve almost had it with the fanbase more so than the team itself. The fans on twitter are just toxic and the local media with the exception of Keim and Finlay annoy the hell out of me. If they take Lance then I’ll back him the same way I did RG3 and Haskins. If he ends up being terrible I won’t really care because it’s already happened a bunch of times before. The only way we’ll ever get out of this rut is to luck into a great QB because that’s the only thing that can out duel Snyder’s incompetence. A great QB cures all.

offbyone Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I am so uninterested in any of the qbs after lawrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceinthehouse Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I'm of the opinion that unless we are in position to draft T. Lawrence without trading up? To draft a different position all together in the 1st Rd or trade down. Haskins will probably be gone. (Hopefully by trade) Alex Smith SHOULD be gone with his contract. That leaves Kyle Allen who we should keep, with his familiarity with the playbook & he's young. I would sign a veteran (healthy) QB in FA Draft a QB from Rd 2 or beyond.

The point I was looking for in the Simpsons gif was Rivera, Turner and Allen having a group hug, Haskins is not in that private circle. It’s a small club.
