Tannehill was starting QB quality for many years and led the Titans through many playoff runs. He’s just aging out of the league now, but was a hit.
Goff as a miss is laughable both for his time in the Rams and currently with the Lions.
Watson is interesting. If the off-the-field stuff doesn’t happen, I assume we’re still calling him a hit. Maybe another TBD like Murray?
Herbert has done more than enough to earn a hit rating, though I can understand the skepticism when looking at the Chargers overall being a perennial bubble team.
That’s already up to 32.4% with those 4 names being appropriately rated, let alone odds increasing the higher a pick is made. Pretty decent considering our current QB you have rated as “Miss (Probably)”. Seems like an upgrade in odds at least of decent QB play.
I may be mis-remembering the Bucs game. All I remember was 1 game having a time where they were attempting to manage the clock but made the switch away from options to straight hand-offs. That may have also been the Broncos game, not the Bucs. Either way, the criticism existed before this game.
Wasn’t it the Bucs game in week 2 where there were complaints that they took the ball out of their playmakers hands and kept giving straight handoffs to backs trying to kill the clock instead of being aggressive?
Wasn’t it the Broncos game in week 4 where we figured out we can’t go into prevent defense and play safe with a decent lead?
I assume in the scenario we do draft a LT prospect, Jones slides in. Run LT-Jones-C-Jenkins-Wright as the line.
People should really start prepping for when nobody goes. For the last 7 games, 0-3 wins probably means Flus/Getsy get their starter QB to develop. 4-5 wins is a good improvement where there’s a QB controversy, but coaching is fine. 6-7 wins puts us with a winning record and earns Fields (assuming he’s the 1 playing) his 5th year or a longer contract.
1st off in terms of order: Top 3 probably are all there, though the order may be jumbled. There are also a bunch of 3 win teams still left. Our last 3 seem like winnable games, so that may bump our pick out of top 5.
If it does stand and those are the 2 spots we pick at: QB would be a must, either is fine, don’t really follow college too much. We could probably stand to trade out of 5 and stockpile picks. They are already giving whatever QB enough time to make decisions. They are just not making correct ones. If they do pick and pick such a highly touted OT, that’s totally fine.
Our goal wasn’t a QB. We have Fields going into a decision year on him. Our lead receiver was a WR2 or 3 on any other team. And still, with a roster so devoid of talent, there were bright spots. We needed a proper way to evaluate Fields and coaching.
We got a true WR1. We got significantly better on the Oline. We got picks. This season proved we need a new QB, and we still have the assets acquired that we can more easily slot him right in when picked (unlike the Bryce Young situation in Caroline who doesn’t have a WR1 or Oline).
Fire Getsy: There’s more than 1 way to beat pressure. Screens are an option, but so are swing passes and quick slants. Our predictability held us out of the endzone.
Fire Flus: Look, the D has stepped up since he’s taken over playcalling, but the overall gameplan and discipline still fall to him to control. Too many conservatively called games and penalties.
Fields: Honestly, could take or leave. Solid coaching could do him a world of good, but that ship might have sailed. Best options to draft are Williams/Maye/MHJ in that order. Draft appropriately with the Panthers pick.
