I mean, me too. Heck, I want that at every pick, right?The 3 overall?
I want "put his ass in Canton after 1 year" good.
But "want" isn't the metric that makes sense, it's "what usually happens plus some margin that means you demand excellence."
After 1 year? Pro Bowl good. (And that's a ridiculously high bar)
Oh wait that didn't help.
What if you whiff at the LT? A 10 year starter is nice, it means some success. I guess MJ still has potential to turn it around, and might need to earn his shot to do that now.I can't see the sheet, but if the QB isn't a 10yr starter for you, you should have picked the LT.
That's a pretty legit bar, with the bottom set at "Well, he's not the best, but he was the best we could get over 10 consecutive years, cap implications etc. all playing into the equation."
So every year, 3 or more teams have a good chance to get a 10 year franchise QB you can win SBs with?10 year franchise QB, that you can win Lombardi’s with.
This is another "I want" metric, and while my heart agrees, my brain says it's aspirational to say the least.
So the floor is 2 Super Bowl rings.Eli Manning or better.
This is what kills me about the draft. Folks, when you're in a hole, you're in a hole. We can wish for lightning to strike, but karmically speaking, we owe on that electric bill, to mix the metaphor really badly.
By the way, this is what the hole looks like, not losing in the AFCCG. At least now it's legitimate to worry about QB position
