I have no clue what this is suppose to mean. If you're suggesting I'm calling for Bradley's head after this season you're wrong. I will say if the team continues to play this ineptly throughout the season then his seat should be warming.

 

Losing out only gets you to roll the dice sooner. We all know that drafting a QB is rolling the dice. People want to say "oh, boy look at the Colts I'm sure they were upset they drafted first." Does anyone want to go back and look at the last 15 years of 1st overall draft picks?

 

Tim Couch -    Browns

M. Vick  -- Atl

David Carr -- Houston

C. Palmer - Cincy

E. Manning - S.D.

Alex Smith - 49'er

J. Russell - Oak

M. Stafford - Det

S. Bradford - St. L

C. Newton - Carolina

A. Luck - Indy

 

So, 11 times out of the last 15 years, in this "QB era", a QB was taken 1st overall. Look at that list and tell me how many of those guys turned a team into significant relevancy? There's only 1 SB winner in that list.

 

Now look at the QB's considered top QB's in the league:

 

Brady  - 6th round

Flacco - 18th overall

Roethlisberger  - 11th overall

RGIII - 2nd overall

A. Rodgers - 24th overall

Matt Ryan - 3rd overall

Drew Brees - 64th overall

R. Willson  -  75th overall

Kaepernick - 36th overall

 

Look at that list then realize we took Blaine Gabbert 10th overall and Leftwich 7th overall. We've drafted 2 QB's in the top 10 and neither one of them worked out. We will be drafting in the top 10 again, guaranteed. There's plenty of  serviceable QB's such as Cutler (11th), Romo (UDFA), Rivers (4th), Schaub (90th), Dalton (35th) that could be much better if they had a better supporting cast.

 

The point is losing out will only discourage more fans from buying tickets. Guys like TMD can sit in Jersey and tell us how much better we'd be if we lose since he's not buying tickets and sitting in the seats. If I wasn't spending my money, sitting in the seats every Sunday watching a totally incompetent team, then I might be indifferent like him.

 

But I'd like to see some wins. I'd like to be encouraged going into next season that we have something positive working here. At the end of the season I would like to see this team compete man-to-man with Houston, Tenn, and Indy. We'll be drafting high enough anyway, at least a winning streak at the end of the season gives the fans some hope.
