And it is glorious.
Until they get a true franchise QB they will continue to be what they are, especially if they hold a fire sale. Also look at what Payton did in NO to see what his cap is at best. [Reply]
They need to stop pissing away draft picks on what they perceive as quick fixes. There are no quick fixes for a roster as bad as theirs. They need to realize what they are and completely tear things down and start over. So far, thankfully, nobody in their organization has shown the ability to see this. No matter how obvious it is to an outsider. [Reply]

Looks to me like that's exactly what they plan on doing . Thing is, they could have saved themselves years of misery had they done it earlier. Their incompetence is glorious [Reply]
Russell Wilson's QBR by game Week 1: 74.4 Week 2: 65.4 Week 3: 44.5 Week 4: 37.3 Week 5: 18.4 Week 6: 9.8
It's got to be killing Knowshit that Wilson's worst QBR to date came against the Chiefs. There is no way that he can show his face around here right now. Poor guy. :-) [Reply]

Giving up on the season by the middle of October has to be a new record for him, right?

We seemed to have a string of HCs post-Manning that decided they could build a winning team while spending zero resources on QB. After that, we whiplashed hard the other direction with the Russell debacle by spending massive amounts of resources on a QB without a plan to fit that QB.
My hope is that now we have an HC that will go after the QB he wants to fit a plan.
Paydatons offense is predicated on picking apart the middle of the field...with the worst QB in the NFL at attacking that. This was never going to work. Said it before the season [Reply]
