Sticky: Poll: How confident are you about this team going into 2026?

[SteveTheCowboy]

Rodgers was a 1st round pick. We don’t have a 1st round QB being groomed on the bench.

I know that. Not my point.

I don't care if it's a 1st or 4th. you HAVE to have some sort of reasonable cycle on having a reasonable "next QB up". More than every 12 years doesn't seem reasonable to me.

Thank you for helping me prove my point. We don't have a 1st rounder being groomed...or ANY rounder. Nobody is being groomed and that's a problem. 12 years later.

That’s what you’re selling. Overwhelming optimism. Have a good day!!

I’m sorry that the truth hurts you.

And the Seachickens were good because they traded their QB.

And actually landed a better QB. One who wouldn’t have been available if Vikings weren’t determined to go with their draft pick which could turn out to be a mistake.

Letting go of a QB who helped lead them to 14-3 looks mighty suspect about now. Especially after he helped Hawks to a SB.

I’d say Seattle got a little lucky . What if Darnold wasn’t available. Who was their next alternative for QB. Just saying…

 

[Diehardblues]

I’m sorry that the truth hurts you.

What you see as truth I see as selling hype for hope. Not buying .

Every team has hope now they can turn a 3-14 team into a SB team. Hurry down and get you a lotto ticket. It’s over 900 million.

Well…they did a lot more than get rid of their QB. Saying goodbye to Geno Smith was one of several good moves in concert with their draft and free agency moves.

Correct. I'm one of the few who doesn't think they'll be back. Everything just fell into place at the right time.

Of course, but that was the biggie.

Where is the “selling” in stating the fact that the Patriots went from a 4-13 non-playoff team to the Super Bowl the next year?

Again, I’m sorry that this fact has triggered you.

Are we the last move away from making the leap?

Jethro said years ago when Manziel rumors surfaced that he didn’t want a heir apparent on the roster. Cause he doesn’t want QB controversies.

He won’t go after his next QB until current one is done.

Hey, if you want to hang your hat with overwhelming optimism on turning 3-14 teams around as a blueprint , be my guest.

I think people were somehow able to back Jerry down from manziel and that was just to cover his own aspen.

I suppose it was more luck than skill he had his last two QBs already on the roster. And look what THAT's got us (not all their fault!)

I’m just giving you an example of how it can be done. Apparently it ruined your narrative so you got upset.

I never bought Jethro was going to draft Manziel. He even dismissed it morning of draft when stated as long as Romo was here wasn’t drafting heir apparent.

Jethro was just mouthing off in case Manziel was a hit and didn’t want to look a fool passing on him.

And Dak wasn’t drafted as heir apparent . Notice how quickly Jethro dumped Romo as he didn’t want a QB controversy carrying over into following season.

Yes, both QB’s fell into his lap or this era would have been much worse.

Not at all. It just provided you a talking point since the discussion fizzled out.

Oh I get it....didn't mean to oppose your theory. It's totally solid.
The manziel talk was typical Jerry tactics.


But the fact still remains he had the next QBs already on the roster.

Sometimes lady luck doesn't show herself until you do something.

Double down Jerry...keeps waiting for luck...by not doing ANYTHING.

Yes, but it wasn’t by design. As you stated earlier. Totally fell into his lap.

He’s not willing to risk hitting rock bottom.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

He’s not willing to risk hitting rock bottom.

And thats the only reason he went total defense in this years draft.
