Something to ponder about BB.


This isn’t hard…. they missed on Mac.

The 49ers missed on Trey Lance, but they had JimmyG and when he got hurt they had a wing and a prayer in Brock Purdy… who they hit on.

With a great/good QB this 2023 team has a winning record and is battling for the AFC East.

Go find a QB in the draft… this isn’t hard at all.
Was that sarcasm ? I’m guessing most qbs drafted are pretty much busts not withstanding where they get drafted. But I agree on this team having a winning record with a stud qb. But honestly they are far and few…

I'd be content with a monster tackle or 2 and a very good qb. Borderline stud would be doable. Please no ST only dudes. I think that will break me if they bring one in next year.

A couple of wicked good OTs would make even Mac look like an acceptable QB. For awhile. Then his processing speed (or lack thereof) and habit of throwing off his back foot would catch up and we’d see the same old INTs. That’s what scares me about keeping him around.

For ****s n giggles I just looked at all the qbs drafted since Brady. There were 273 qbs to be exact drafted over 7 rounds. Only about 40 are starters-ish. 5 hall of famers maybe if they play long enough. Thats about 15 % chance of getting an above average QB 2% chance of getting a hall of fame player IF all the stars are aligned ..getting a bad qb will obviously ruin an organization.

Is that 40 starters of which 5 have a shot at HOF, or 40 starters plus 5 possible HOF for a total of 45 decent QBs?

either way, that is a greater than 80% chance of drafting a mediocre or worse QB.

that reinforces my belief that relying on the draft to fix a QB problem is not a good idea.

thanks.

Of the 40, 5 have a chance of getting to the hall. And that’s over 80 % of drafting what we have now. What other teams have continuously done over the last 20 years while we basked in Tommy’s glow..
 
And both the Bills and the Jets still haven't found one.
You don't think Allen is Good?? I think he's Great when he doesn't take a lot of foolish chances.

I love it when people ***** about a post, disliking it so much they just have to open their mouths thinking what they say matters. Here's an idea for some...don't like it, don't read it? And this was far from trolling for the others. Considering I have zero other new posts, I'm glad you like all my replies. <3
Love your opening post it was a pleasure to read. The BB ball washers did a drive by on you they are hurt in their feelings ignore the noise.

How will they know if they won't like it by not reading it? some kind of forum osmosis?

Tommy ruined our perspective, 6th rounder, greatest ever, this isn't hard to find a good QB as we laughed at other teams drafting crap, now we're in that boat.

But !!! Which is a crazy thing, Bill actually drafted some really good qbs kind of. So either Mac was a complete misfire, or Mac was forced on Bill.

Mac isn't the only problem with this team. The roster is one of the worst in the league. Mac is as bad as he is in part because of his supporting cast. The OL is abysmal, our WRs suck. Is there anybody on the offense that can make a play?

Agree. Ram Douglas hunter Andrew’s onwenu.. definitely not deep enough lol

Agreed!!! The offensive line is miserable. The tackles are pathetic, Andrew has been in decline. Worst offensive line ever!!! Wide receivers are almost as miserable and none could start for the university of Georgia this year!!!!!

We need bb to coach and get him out of the front office
 
I like how we say Bill just dealing with the hands he's been dealt.

As if he's not the one who picked all the draft busts or made the poor free agent decisions.

5 years into a rebuild. Our roster talent should be improving not going downhill.

If a stud QB is so important then why did Bill let one go with nobody to replace him?

You forgot the other choice, which looks like a more reasonable take considering the clvsterfvck of coaching he received. Bill ruined what little there was of Mac. That might explain Mac starting off so well and regressing so much.
