I never said anything about specific quarterbacks in the draft or busts or choke artists or interceptions.CannonFire wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 3:30 pmThat's right... every qb in the draft is a bust, until WE reclaim them. Every other guy is a choke artist, except for our QB with 2 mins left, when he threw a pick.Cheb wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:46 pm
Agreed. Much as I am a fan of Kyle Trask, drafting a QB in the first round this year would be a similar mistake.
We were one quarter away from the NFC championship, and using our offseason resources to get us there and beyond should be the priority imo, not adding another young blood to the QB when we are due to pay Baker for the foreseeable future.
Thought you were better than that Cheb. You always come off as a very realistic person, and not a blind homer.
What I said is that we made it to the playoffs and damn near made it even further had the defense not collapsed against the Lions.
My premise is simple; the Bucs are competitive right now, and our team goal in my opinion should be to make us moreso, to shore up holes and depth across the roster so we can make an honest run at a Superbowl, because we were literally 5 quarters away from one just a few months ago.
Would adding a first round quarterback move the ball towards that goal line? No, it wouldn't. Drafting a first round quarterback wastes our most valuable offseason resource for a guy we hope doesn't see the field, because we just paid our incumbent starter to be The Dude for the next few years. Love him or hate him, Mayfield is the guy now, and we should do our best to put pieces around him to make him and the rest of the team successful. Spending a first rounder on a quarterback doesn't further that goal, my dude.
Does that make me a homer? I think that's a pretty balanced take.
