Let's not misuse resources. Failing for Fromm is the right approach … sadly, I have no faith in our coaching search anyway. At least let's get a QB for a change. I'm tired of the string of mediocre to bad QB's we've had since Marino.
hmm ill decide after tonight if we should wait until 2021 for Trevor Lawrence lol. Or is there any way he can come out as a sophomore like Mike Vick did?
Great analysis @oasis thanks!There's only so many choices:
1) Get a high pick by losing a lot of games.
2) Mortgage future picks to trade up.
3) Trade good/elite talent for picks.
(1) and (3) was the approach taken by the Gruden and the Raiders. (3) also lends itself to (1). If we were to actually attempt #3, the players that COULD net picks (not necessarily high ones) are Jones, Wake, Howard, Tunsil, Tannehill, James. Of that list, most people wouldn't want to do that to Wake unless he wanted to be traded to a competitor. Howard, though you have to pay, is an elite talent at DB that you'd like to be able to keep on any defense. You need an elite LT to protect your QB. So really, that leaves Jones (who is expendable since you have TJM and Fitz), Tannehill, and James. These are all mid-round picks AT BEST and might not give you the ammo to move up too far.
Since you don't have a Khalil Mack that you can trade away and get back a huge return, you're looking at #1 and #2. One of those sets you back much further than the other, especially if you are wrong on the QB pick.
Has a team ever deliberately tanked or obviously tanked an entire season? I mean if we keep tannehill and start him, we will right back same situation.
And same thing if we go after flacco, foles, or Bridgewater. To tank properly none of those guys should be our starting QB. We would need to start someone like Fales or Faulk or if we draft a mid round QB this year then that said rookie would need to start.
So I'm not sure who our starting QB will be next year but we need long term plans and no more band aid players.
We don't have resources to trade much right now. A couple mid round picks for guys like tannehill or Reshad Jones won't be enough to solidify a top spot. We may just have to bite the bullet and go full retard and tank to save our future picks. Otherwise we would giving up a ton of future picks to get a top 5 pick in a very good QB class in 2020.

I just wish I knew if they were going to tank so I can cancel my DirecTV subscription. Save me about $2,800 a year!
THEY DID NOT. Collins got hurt after 3 games.Colts started Curtis Painter for an entire year after Manning was injured before the season in the Year of Luck.
2800? Maybe ease up on the bells and whistles?

Man, you people are ****ing unbelievable.
