FWIW, I was one of the few members of the board who wanted Watson or Mahomes in 2017. I even remember calling someone on the board racist for saying that they didn’t want a black QB and then another member said “I’m black and I prefer white QBs, does that make me racist?” and I replied, “how would you feel if a potential employer or client said that they preferred a white whatever you do for a living?” I just brought up that conversation because I don’t know how to find old threads and I thought maybe it would jar someone’s memory, anyway I was that guy.
While it is possible that there won’t be a QB worth taking in the first next year it is highly unlikely. If Herbert and Haskins both come out, I’m going to go ahead and say that I think both are worth first round picks.
I agree that passing on Watson and Mahomes or not signing Cousins or A. Smith were bad decisions, but I don’t think that trading for Tyrod Taylor, if he is even available is going to solve anything.
And to think Mahomes is the whitest black guy i've ever seen, lol.
