Rep'd for being the only one to actually state the obvious about him. Disagree with the "like Watson part" though. I've seen Watson stand tall in a pocket, go through progressions and dissect a pro stlye defense and succeed. More than once. I think the line and early WR struggles of Clemson have forced him to rely on his athleticism a little more this year and have directly attributed to his increase in turnovers this year. I think he can still be a really good QB. See some Air McNair and young Donovan McNabb in his game. Doubt he drops below Cleveland though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Clouds Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 You NEVER tank at any time, or for any reason. You owe it to your fans and your organization, to put every effort you can into winning. If you are a young player especially, what happens if they see it? What they see is a team that gives up when things are going bad. How do you ever build a winning atmosphere with that kind of thinking? IF, you have a competent front office, you can still find quality throughout the draft. I know I said if, but you just have to trust that one day they'll eventually get it right.

There's a difference between "tanking" aka NOT trying and playing a younger ("worse") player ahead of "better" older players. Obviously today, all things being equal, Geno Smith probably gives us a better chance of winning than Bryce Petty. But Geno won't be back in 2017, so why not play the young kid, get him some reps, and hope for the best? That, in essence, is "tanking" without "tanking". Your kid(s) will still see everyone trying their damnedest, so there's not bad examples being taught. At this point, all the kids should be on the field so Todd Bowles won't have any excuse to resort to shi*tty veterans, which he's been known to prefer.

I'd love to see Petty in right now, assuming he were healthy enough. I simply take issue with people who just think we should basically just go through the motions. That 100% effort isn't necessary. I know that they are all playing for their jobs, but you have seen enough games through the years to see lack of intensity by one team or the other. Play young players, yes. Just play to win the game. God, it must be late. I'm channeling my inner Herm Edwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A silver lining in this awful season is that Bowles and Maccagnan are going to be able to examine who the true "character" guys are on this team. Are some guys going to go half-assed (I'm looking at you, Mo Wilk) and turn into Santonio Holmes when things aren't going well, or are they going to be show themselves to be what Wayne Chrebet was on a 1-15 team? I hope over the next 10 games that we discover a Wayne Chrebet or two in this otherwise lost season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope over the next 10 games that we discover a Wayne Chrebet or two in this otherwise lost season. For now, I'm willing to give Wilkerson the benefit of the doubt regarding his injury. Under Rex, and last year under Bowles, Wilkerson was used in much more of a rotational way. Yes, he played a lot. But he also got a number of series off during a game. This year, with Bowles using more of a 4-3, Wilkerson practically never comes off. Always near the top in snaps per game. This, coming off of surgery in the off season. The strength in his leg may not be all there. He was delayed starting training camp. And playing every down has to be stressing it. Bowles has to do a better job. He's overworking the d-line. Go back to what worked last year. 3-4 and rotate. As for finding another Wayne Chrebet, if he can play quarterback, we're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obrien2Toon Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I'm all for tanking the next 3 years. 3 years of suck or 30 years of sub mediocre we've been getting. Just not for him, Josh Rosen on the other hand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Watson was supposedly the next Luckian college QB going into the season. There will always be another "can't miss" college QB. The problem is that the vast majority of them end up like Leinart, Watson, or Brady Quinn and outing themselves as far from a generational talent before leaving college. We'll be tanking for several years, regardless. This team is old and sh*tty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetPotato Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 This is a good approach. We should tank for the next decade even. Could you imagine a roster with 10 #1 overall picks? Now we're talkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say that as a huge fan. Kizer, to me, is Russell Wilson with size. Their mechanics are almost identical and they both have brains. I saw Russell Wilson as Drew Brees with a stronger arm and better athleticism. I LOVED Russ and I LOVE Kizer, recent small struggles be damned. All that said, barring something unforeseen, I truly think he goes back for one more year. Even if I'm wrong too, you're right. I don't see any chance of him going after Watson. Especially when everybody gets into that whole nitpicking mode come the spring. I like em both, but if we're left between a choice of Watson or Garrett? I'd rather go Garrett, sign Mike Glennon, let Hack continue growing and see if he's ready, take someone in the 3rd. I think Chad Kelly might be there in the 2nd or 3rd and could be a steal if he keeps his play up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
