While the positive vibes are flowing I want to ask if anyone still wants to argue with me about whether spending a high draft pick on a QB is a good idea?

Well, the tricky part is getting it right..... I think they may have gotten it right...

I agree it's hard to get right when you pick one.

But it's impossible to get right if you don't even try.

That's true. Or you could fill the time with journeyman backups until you find the one you like.....

That's not a great idea, but it's not the worst idea unless you pay one of those journeymen $72 million and then have to spend a 2nd round pick to get rid of him.

I used to gamble a bit (still do but not with real money). One philosophy was you have to play (bet) in order to win (cash). Another philosophy was "I'm not playing so I don't lose". See the conundrum?

So you're saying in the NFL you either get a QB or you fold your franchise because it's pointless to play? I agree.
