Agreed. I am very excited about the state this organization is in, at this moment, if they are as determined as it appears to solve the quarterback issue... They have the following things working for them:
1. A lot of cap flexibility (after cutting some dead weight, they will likely be somewhere around $35 - $50 million below the cap): So, we can take on a high QB salary... it also means that we can fill a number of positional needs with quality free agents, allowing the team the option of trading away 2016 draft picks.
2. Significant combination of talent, youth, and depth throughout much of the defense. The defense has a few holes to fill, but it doesn't require an infusion of talent. Therefore, primary resources can be spent on offense: QB.
3. We still have all of our early round future draft picks.
4. In addition to a potentially rich free agent market for QBs (depending on what happens with Osweiler, Cousins, RGIII, Kap), teams with quality QBs are likely to be in the mood to listen to trade talks.
1. Who the hell are we going to sign at QB with all that cap flexibility? Sure, we can potentially make some good acquisitions, but that also requires good decision making. Have we improved in that regard at all in 14 years? No, we haven't. Regardless, that's not happening at QB this year. There is literally no above average QB that is attainable.
2. We don't have quality youth on our defense. JJ gives us a positive at DL, but Wilfork is old and nobody else qualifies with your statement. Our LBers are subpar. Our secondary is a mix of young (Hal, Kareem) and old (Joseph, Demps), and it's average, there is nothing special about the younger guys.
3. "We still have all of our early round draft picks." Well, I sure as hell hope so. This team doesn't have the talent to justify not. What kind of statement is this?
4. This is a poor FA QB market. Kap sucks, Cousins is likely to be resigned, as well as Osweiler. RG3 is a total shot in the dark.
I probably couldn't search for hours and find a post I more disagreed with.
