1-6 here we come!!!!!
We will beat the Falcons because they suck more than we do, but I don't have any faith we will beat the other teams before our rematch with the Packers. We will not win any road games during that stretch, and Henry is going to run all over our crappy defense.

- Trevor Lawrence
- Justin Fields
- Trey Lance
- Kyle Trask
- Jamie Newman
If we start over with a rookie QB, do you want Mike Zimmer planning that future? I don't.
I'm not saying Zimmer can't win, but I think he needs very specific existing circumstances to do so - a defensive unit stocked with strong players who understand his complex scheme, a strong running game, and a veteran QB who doesn't make many mistakes and can handle criticism when he does.
Unless one of those rookie QBs is Dan Marino 1983, it will be a couple years of development, which means starting over in a lot of places on this roster. It also means Zimmer and Kubiak (or the next OC) need the skill to turn that rookie into Pat Mahomes instead of Mitchell Trubisky. That also involves building a strong OL to protect the young QB, which this staff has had little success doing.
I think if you want a 2020 crash for a top draft pick, you should think about non-QBs (like OT Penei Sewell) that could IMMEDIATELY fix problems with the Zimmer roster. OR - you should say you want to burn this roster and coaching staff down and start over.
The Rick and Mike show has shown us they can build a team that is average to above average. We want a SB champion and need better performance to get there. IMO, it is not going to happen with the current leadership. How many years have we ignored the OL? How many years have we picked a WR early in the draft that failed... Why do we keep guys like Barr around that makes minimal big plays yet commands top dollar?
Season is obviously very early, hope we turn the ship around but I'm not very optimistic..

I'm not sure they're tanking, but they sure suck. Long ways away from winning a post-season game vs Saints, thats for sure.
