This team could've been .500 coming out of this draft if they built the offense. Instead they spent their capital on the wrong side of the ball. You wanted stars and they drafted stopgaps, injury prone players, guys who have to learn the position...what they hell, did we rehire Gene Smith and his "Smartest Dumb Man in the Room" strategy?

I appreciate you're honesty and have had my issues with drafting OL and/or TEs for the past 2 to 3 yrs.  We'll see if the line holds up and how Minshew handles things.

I expected this team to help its 2nd year QB out that helped them win football games in spite of them trying to force Foles on us and the team like it was a play date with your girlfriend's best friend's boyfriend. 

I was under the impression Caldwell and Marrone's life was on the line in 2020. Not many of this weekend's selections indicate that. Minshew will have a hard time succeeding with little to no efforts made in improving the oft injured and inconsistent offensive line. 

The Fournette situation doesn't help neither.

I didn't think their life was on the line as soon as they let Campbell and bouye etc go.  I knew the time would come after 17 but as soon as the rebuild started, I knew they were set for 2.  I want Minshew to succeed but I also want a top QB.  I was ok with passing this year for the sake of getting one next year.  

I guess I never had a playoff run with minshew this year in mind regardless of whatever, unless he looks like the franchise QB we've longed for.  I'm sure we will get a top tier OL next yr.
