Quote:Don't you think we should trust in Caldwell to determine if he's going to be a bust or not?  And shouldn't he have the opportunity to pick the player if he so chooses?  The fact is, Gene Smith as bad as he was, never was in any real position to draft a franchise QB outside of the hindsight is 20/20 Russell Wilson.  He traded up for the wrong one in Blaine Gabbert.  Caldwell did not make the same mistake with Geno Smith, pulling the trigger too early.  

Exactly. The difference in my argument and the argument of my friends here is that I realize that there is opportunity outside of the first overall pick. That is the reason I refuse to cheer for this team to tank for some percieved Utopian opportunity.

 

They tell me to look at the big picture, but I think I am doing exactly that. I think it is them who are not looking at the big picture.

 

All that aside, I will not root for my team to lose. It's not in my DNA. They are free to do so if they wish.
