Another bewildering post.
This guy's upset that the team and the QB whom he thinks isn't credible brought the team back from a 2 TD deficit on the road. Then claims to not watch the team again?
These are the same people that will destroy that 1st round pick if he struggles though. So fixated on the QB they don't even realize how much is wrong with this team.
Bet Rams fans feel good about getting the #1 pick. Sure Browns fans have been elated about their top picks.
You need a TEAM to win in this league. There's a reason why bad teams stay bad even with top picks. Because they can't coach, can't develop, can't do anything right.
You think getting a QB means the team will be functional? Man, good luck to you. We need to draft a QB and like 10 other spots. Need to build a TEAM and a culture.
Excuse my precious post. I had to record the 2nd half and watch it later, so it's still fresh.
Here's what's wrong with this team... Our coaching staff is trash and we lack playmakers on the roster.
Trent has put together a talented defensive unit. Injuries, a terrible DC, and a miserable offense has all been a perfect storm for our inability to stop anyone. We need a NT, OLB and ILB depth. Got it. This unit is on the rise.
Our offense is a trainwreck. Chip's system is adequate, but he doesn't have a QB that can accurately deliver the ball to his WRs. This WR corp is the worst I've ever seen. Trent has to own that. Hyde is a solid player, but he's the only threat we have.
To me, it all comes down to coaching. I don't think Chip is the answer. I think Kyle Shannahan is the best coach available because he has a proven system. It works regardless of the personnel. As in Atlanta, its deadly with the right personnel.
At the QB position, we need something bad. I've been a Kaepernick fan, but I can't support him anymore. I disagree with his non-football stuff, but that's not it. He's too inconsistent and doesn't have the arm talent to be a franchise QB. Grappollo is an option, but he's risky. NE makes every QB look great. It's the most QB-friendly system ever. Grap/Cassel/Brady, doesn't matter. That goes back to excellent coaching and having a successful system in place.
We lack too many pieces to be winning right now. Trent isn't the answer to build the offense and until we get a QB, it won't really matter anyway.
For all you fans wishing for a loss.
And I think it's disloyal to wish for your your team to lose for draft positioning. I want my team to win, I pick my team to win every week, and believe the will win until we actually have loss.
