Sign a poo poo-tier QB and then accumulate as many picks and talent around that poo poo-tier QB as possible for 2 seasons, THEN trade your entire draft away for a first round QB. That sound be the blueprint for every awful team.

The Texans until this season relentlessly ignored that final step

Then probably traded up for the wrong QB

You have Hopkins, Fuller and Miller which is a good WR/RB combo, Fedora seems like a decent enough tight end. No idea what the Texans O-Line looks like.

Nothing says "we're going to be a good team" like not being able to add good young talent around your young QB through the draft!

Says the guy who's team plopped a rookie QB into the literal perfect situation for a QB. I think it's backwards to let your young quarterback get pummeled behind an awful offensive, lose confidence with terrible WRs/TEs and have no one to lean on without a decent running back. To me it makes sense to assemble those pieces first and give your young QB a chance to succeed out of the gate.

Watch Cutler become an incredibly serious, but charismatic broadcaster with fair takes for all.

I don't understand why the NFL won't do IR like any other league ever and just make it a place to move players on and off the roster.

Because IR gives you roster exemptions.

If you don't change that, then it becomes a place to stash players you don't want to lose the rights to.

If you do change that, then the random teams that end up with 24 people on IR like the Chargers last year end up releasing a ton of players because they can't field a team otherwise.

You get roster exemptions in other leagues as well though. In the NHL you can place a player on IR and they have to be on for a minimum of 7 days and for as long as that player is on IR you have an extra roster spot for someone else. The NFL would be far more interesting if you made IR a 2-week injured list, so the player had to spend at least 2 weeks on IR once on it and allowed teams to call up their practice squad players to play on the active roster for those two weeks then revert them back to the practice squad once the other play could come back.

You can call up practice squad players like that I thought - don't they only count a season as active if a practice squad player plays more than six?

I think to call up a practice squad player now you had to sign them to an active contract, then when you don't need them, place them on waivers, wait for them to clear waivers then sign them back to the practice squad? They definitely need some number of games to accrue a season played.

I was talking up Prescott before the draft before the Rams traded the farm for Goff, was hoping they would look up on receivers in the first 3 rounds then draft him. I also don't have any proof of this.

With that receiving core Jameis Winston will be forcefully penetrating defenses all year long.
