I see I didn't miss much today. Kind of figured they'd lose to KC but my God did Pete even try to put together a gameplan during the week. I'm back on board drafting a QB with the first pick. Nice season and story but Geno won't get us to the SB.
I agree Geno's having a good season but we need someone who has that "it" factor that can get us back to the SB and geno isn't that guy nor the money he's going to be asking for and I don't want him tagged. I'm also not opposed to taking DL with the top pick but whatever QB we pass on better not comeback to haunt us.In fairness to Geno, the entire offense is pretty broken right now. We are starting WRs we picked up off the street. Our rookie tackles are hitting a wall. And our rookie RB still has a lot to learn.
Geno has been pretty solid this year. But he's a caretaker QB. He won't elevate a team on his own. Bryce Young is probably going to be off the board and I don't want him anyway. Stroud seems to lost a lot of luster with scouts. The other QBs all have question marks. I'm fine with taking one with our pick, but we MUST go DL with that top pick.
I think Stroud will either be a massive hit or a massive miss. He's phenomenal when the plays go right, but when things break down he struggles. Also his supporting cast is about as good as it can get. He's not going to have that type of competitive advantage in the NFL where the talent margin between players is substantially thinner than in college football.In fairness to Geno, the entire offense is pretty broken right now.

My ideal first four draft picks would be Jalen Carter, Trenton Simpson, Siaki Ika and an interior offensive lineman. Blythe is not an NFL starter, Gabe Jackson has played like shit and Phil Haynes is not the answer.You can't worry about whether you don't draft the right player.
If JS/PC really believes in one of these QBs, I'm ok with drafting him. But I have to think that both of them are going to be focused on drafting a true defensive disruptor. Maybe 2.
If QB wasn't in play then I wouldn't worry on drafting the right player but considering this is the most difficult spot to fill, you do have to worry about passing on a potential QoF.You can't worry about whether you don't draft the right player.

That's true but you have more chances at building a defense then finding a QoF.It doesn't matter how good your QB is if your defense is hot garbage.

Don't need to have that "it" factor, what you need is someone that can take care of the ball, a competent game manager like Wilson was his first 2 years. Take away that INT and this would have been a different game. Defense played well enough ( Not great ) the offense out gained KC's offense but they were 2 of 14 or something on 3rd downs and i count those failed 4th downs ( two of them could have been FG's ) as turnovers. Take away that INT and turn 2 of those 4th downs that failed ( they were in FG range) for FG and could have been at 16-17. Geno though needs to stop staring down his own players after HE makes a bad decision or throw.
They need to use Dissly more also because he is a weapon he showed it in the past. He is not fast but slippery and gets open with good Yac most of the time. Taylor shouldn't be chasing RB and or WR EVER thats just bad play design and not knowing the strengths of your players. Geno's head has swollen and it's getting in his way, he has 7 turn over in the last 5 games.
This is what I expected from Geno, competent and lack luster play flip flopping between the two. As much as they like to talk about Locks turnover issue Geno's is actually worse. I say you Start Lock the last couple games as Geno is most likely walking.
You can have that "it" factor while taking care of the ball and yesterdays game would be a good example if we had that type of QB.Don't need to have that "it" factor, what you need is someone that can take care of the ball, a competent game manager like Wilson was his first 2 years.
