Quote:I may have been the last "let's see what Gabbert has got" fan left.  Today did it.  The pick six, and the premature scrabbling when a step or two forward would do...

 

I don't know what to say.  I take no pleasure in yet another wasted 1st round draft choice.  Our team is going to continue to suck for years.  It will take a lot of work to undo what has been done, and I don't know if we have that much time.

 

We will be competitive next year. All of our rookies (minus Joekel) are getting playing time right now, its only going to make them improve.

 

Bridgewater will make all of our skills position players look 2x better, and Im pretty confident that we can fix the o-line to make it functional (not a strength) this offseason as well. Draft a RT and C by the 4th round, then in free agency sign a G.

 

The defense hasnt been horrible this year but with a year of experience I think they will be a middle of the pack unit if they can upgrade at MLB and LEO. Poz is to slow and is a liability in coverage (despite the plays he made today where TEs ran hooks right at him). You cant have those type of guys at MLB anymore. None of the modern day good LBs are as slow and as unathletic as Poz.

 

Depending on how the offseason turns out I could see us going 10-6 next year at best, and 7-9 at worst.
