we could be stuck in this mess a long time because we refused to get involved in the kirk cousins or alex smith sweepstakes

and no he wouldnt get us to the superbowl, but taylor would MAYBE give us a chance at the playoffs by winning the division, but you are right, chances are that ship has sailed and we should probably just play it the rest the way and get our early draft pick so we can pick another bust

Or because we thought it was smart to refuse to bring any real competition for Bortles, or to draft fragile Fournette over Mahomes or even Watson.

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.
