I feel like the entire franchise changed when Marino lost the playoff game to the Jags. That's the moment where I stopped being happy.

Assuming the team lacking a franchise QB is not paying the playoffs as well, I'd go with option #2. I only base this on being a Mariners fan, and having so much star talent that would get squandered every single year. A boring, incompetent team with no star power won't inspire too much passion in you.

TheChirurgeon posted:Those guys are all better than Geno Smith or Ryan Lindley and there was a point at which replacing Brady with Cassel got a team 10 wins. I think Dak is above replacement level, but I also think there's 25 guys you could put in that situation and have similar results with that offense even if they make a few dumb throws because they'll also be able to make more complicated reads then what's being asked of 1 month in rookie Dak. You have to go a deeper then 25 QB's before you're hitting Geno Smith but I'd rather sign an injured Charlie Whitehurst then start Geno. Basically, I'm saying that if Stephen was asleep at the switch and Jerry had managed to get away and trade something dumb for Cutler or Mariota or Cousins or Flacco (to pick 4 random guys between the like 10th and 25th best QB's) that they'd probably have similar success to what Dak is doing right now, at least in my humble opinion. Stat wise, Dak is killing it right now, but I bet if he was on the Titans right now, he'd be considered hot garbage.

Speaking about the Dolphins, are the Dolphins fans now only watching the Vikings games, hoping they lose so they can have their one yearly celebration when there is no more undefeated team left?

a neat cape posted:THE LATTER Eh, I dunno. The Jets have gone 40 years and 350+ draft picks since they last had a franchise quarterback. Meanwhile the other teams in their division have all had at least one (if not more) periods of sustained success thanks in part to a franchise QB. They might disagree.

Trying and failing to identify a franchise QB for over fifteen years is much worse than getting one and ruining him. Been there on both accounts.

So I watched that Bennett brothers E:60 and it was awesome. Answered my own questions about Bennett fitting into New England. He said: "I came here and everything is part of a larger system. Belichick tells you everything he expects of you and what you need to do. That's a lot better than any other place I've played." Also apparently Jason Witten and Jason Garrett are assholes.

Kalli posted:I disagree somewhat. The best quarterbacks can still be excellent even in terrible situations, like Rivers currently, Romo back before he had that incredible offensive line and Dez, Brees at times, and Cam last year are all good examples here. Losing with a great QB is losing with a stacked deck, mere competency should be carrying you to wild card appearances. i disagree that anyone would look good in daks situation, or well i disagree that anyone could look good in that situation for a long time. only good qbs are consistently good when given the chance, bad qbs stumble and get "figured out" or whatever like i imagine dak will be before this season is over. if dak plays like this for several seasons then yeah, hes actually just a good qb and not some dude who got plugged into a great situation. or i guess what im trying to say the stupid truism of Everyone Looks Good Without Pressure is only true for some pretty small number of games. if you are like several years in, and your qb always looks good when he has a certain situation then hes just a good qb, or at least a qb with a good enough skill that elevates him above his peers and makes him worth building around. so a good qb. 90% of qbs are not that, and no matter how great their situation is they will start to fail cause its actually really loving hard to be a qb in the nfl even with a favorable situation.

Yeah in all this quarterback discussion it does seem like Flacco is the poster child for being able to win a lot of games with the right supporting cast. He doesn't seem like the level of quarterback who can make up for a lot of inadequacies by his team. But I guess the real debate is the expectation of an average starting QB's abilities vs the actual play from the, say 16th best starting QB in the league today.
