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.

Good. It would be pointless to get a QB unless he's a good one....cause there's plenty of doggy 1st round QB's in the league.... Your committing at least a couple of years to finding out what you got..... What Watson is doing is rare as hen's teeth...

You don't have to fold your franchise, you can just sit back and watch 80,000 people a week stream in regardless of the product you offer.

I'm just glad that Deshaun is going to continue my unrivaled run of spectacular failure in predicting who will and who will not be a good NFL quarterback. And I was laughing my ass off when Tom "Cement Shoes" Savage came in and immediately chiseled himself into a statue sack.

The news around the league gets better and better. Cowboys lose, Pats lose, Jags lose. Titans lose. Colts going to lose. I don't even know who they're playing but they're going to lose.
