Guarantee we would have been in on Fields if we didn’t hire trash a** Luke Getsy at OC. It didn’t take long for the incompetence of this new regime to bubble up to the surface. 
 

We are literally going to have a repeat of last year where our Defense will be very good and the offense will be terrible. This will lead to 6-8 wins but keep us locked into yet another year of purgatory where we aren’t a legitimate playoff team but not bad enough to secure a franchise QB. And so the cycle continues. 

I've said from the beginning, Telesco is not a good GM. He inherited Rivers and then lucked into Herbert, he wanted Tua, and signed Tyrod Taylor to start over Herbert his rookie season. Even with two franchise QB's his entire tenure he couldn't build a contending team. His rosters were always super top heavy because he was willing to make splashy moves but couldn't draft well in the middle rounds. 

What does he do here? His first moves are a mega contract and signing a mid-tier veteran QB.

Average fans are up in arms when the pros value him at a 6th… Average fans also can’t grasp that HC/OC’s don’t want QB’s who suck at playing QB and have to water down their playbook when they hit the field. Fields/Lance can’t run standard playbooks which is why their value is so low. What cracks me up is how people can watch football but have no clue what they’re watching… those are the fools up in arms on twitter lol

It’s been 20 plus years s since they have been good what’s one more year ( milroe or sanders ‘25) 

Wait a year to leverage significant draft capital for guys that would be the 7th best QB this year?

Honestly I’m ok with rolling with the stashes if it don’t pan out we got next year 

Watch us run the ball 30x a game. I truly believe Pierce wants to rely on pounding the rock and having a stout defense.

Then why keep Adams?

Because he wants to be a Raider. Will probably have 1,400 yards with the stache too.

Some of next year’s QBs may take major leaps. People always talk bad about next year’s QB class. The good news is most of the QB needy teams won’t be needing a QB next year after this class. It’ll should be easier to trade up.

Minshew was one of the worst passers in the league on throws 10+ yards down field. He’s going to need 145 receptions to get there. 
 

Id bet money this is Adams last year here.

It can be done. But yeah, we’ll see.

I get the feeling people are in love with the idea of “The Stache” and his likable personality. But once the bottom 5-7 QB play commences on the field everyone will be changing their tune. I still have no idea why we paid that man so much money when his level of play is roughly on par with AOC.
For Minshew’s level of play we could have signed Russell Wilson for $1.2 million, traded a 6th rounder and paid $3.2 million for Justin Fields, signed Mason Rudolph for $2.9 million, signed James Winston for $4 million, signed Drew Lock for $4 million, or signed Marcus Mariota for $6 million. But for some reason we paid 2-6x above fair market value for “The Stache”. 
 

Fire Tom Telesco and Luke Getsy ASAP

Tom Telesco master class. Could’ve had Fields and Wilson for a conditional 6th and paid them a combined $4.3M with zero commitment or cap implications after this season. 

Instead we prioritized Minshew at $7.7M and will have to pay him $13.7M in 2025 or eat $7.7M in dead cap to move on. 

Yeah he should have gotten both of the guys you been ****ting on all of season.
