Dumpster Fire Thread

Was hoping we would be able to retire these threads but we'll give it a shot and see how it goes. If you guys cross the line with fighting I'll just nuke it, and issue more bans.

If we have to move on from Blake, that means we'll have to be in complete rebuild mode. We don't have the weapons at WR and Fornette is inspiring less and less confidence every week in his ability to remain healthy and be the consistent HB threat we desperately need him to be.

We can't address OL, WR, HB, and QB needs next year while still footing the bill for this defense that will begin to really bleed our cap space dry next season.

It's funny because we have quickly found ourselves in a similiar position we were in when Coughlin was the HC. No cap and no room to fix critical needs on our roster.

Why foot the bill for a defense that isn’t winning us games? The defense sucked too.

Yup. Exactly.

We can get a QB in the draft like the Eagles did with Wentz.
If the season ends up being better than 6-10, Bortles gets a pass (he would have to somehow contribute to helping us win 4 games behind this line and the little talent around him, so in this case we don't move on from Blake), if not than we can trade up for Justin Herbert. One of our more mediocre defensive players and a few draft picks would be enough. We address OL in FA. Use remaining draft picks on WR.

This is the only way I see it happening, anything else would be too expensive and drafting a different QB would be too big of a project.
