N: The New England Patriots

V: have the worst WR/TE groups in the entire league. I would trade our WRs/TEs for any other team's in a heartbeat. zero exceptions.

The Pats recent poor drafting on the offensive side of the ball has caught up with them. Two firsts for Michel and Harry is a joke. And on top of that their free agent moves - aside from Cam - have been busts as well. They also spent a 2nd on Sanu and got one good game from him before he murdered his own ankle so badly - on loving a punt return - that it has basically ended his career.

Steelers seem like the most well rounded, complete team in the league.

Titans and Seahawks could give up 35 points to any NFCE team.

But all this is silly because it's the middle of October and these teams will look much different come December.

Is he ready to go? He’s healthy but that isn’t the end all be all to being a QB.

I guess if you think the best way to learn is just to throw him out there and hope he learns on his feet but that’s a dangerous proposition.

How is he supposed to learn by not playing?

I'm of the mindset that a rookie should ride the pine behind a good vet until they either have to start them (due to injury like Tom Brady taking over Drew Bledsoe's job) or if their postseason spot is locked (like Patrick Mahomes starting week 17 over Alex Smith).

There are some many examples counter to this. P Manning, Stafford, Ryan, Flacco, Newton, Wilson, Luck, Watson. There are also plenty of rookie QBs who started right off and eventually washed out. But do you really think that EJ Manuel or Winston starting week 1 is what the problem was? Of course not, they were not starting QB caliber players.

There are so many, many factors that go into if a QB is successful or not: Does he have a good supporting cast? Is the coaching staff competent? Can the organization find players in FA, draft well, manage the roster, etc. Are the owners patient and know when to step in and when to stay out of things? Whether or not he sits for six weeks seems to be pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

On top of this if you are sitting them you are WASTING a year of dirt cheap quarterbacking. Your rookie QB could be adjusting to the NFL and getting up to speed instead of sitting on the pine.

Three outcomes can realisticslly happen:

1. Fitz will demand a trade and get sent to Denver or Dallas. Tua will get lit up after one or two games and Miami will have to quickly sign Rosen, Bortles, or bring in some other third string jamoke to back him up.

2. Fitz isn't traded and Tua underwhelms/moves the team out of contention. At that point, what would Fitz even want to play for anymore? It's out in the open that his performance does not preclude his being benched and he is now responsible for a team with a losing record

3. If Tua succeeds then, well, good for Miami. Fotz can sit on the bench or get traded and nothing really changes.

It seems like a huge gamble. At least give Fitz the chance to lose the starting spot so it doesn't seem so purposeful.

This is silly. The only way Fitzpatrick plays again this year is if Tua gets injured. They're not going to trade him either.

Ah yes the Brandon Cooks maneuver

yeah I know Thomas is way better but man Cooks was so situationaly unaware he literally cost the Pats that Superbowl by getting jacked up

Pats were dumb to get rid of Cooks.

Herbert was getting Heisman hype his last two years though. He was always going to be a project but he was, on balance, a good college player on a pretty good team. Allen was just a big guy with a giant arm. And I’d say the jury is still out in him. The Bills have looked like rear end the last 3 weeks and his postseason performance last year was definitely not confidence inspiring.

Edit: also, more than anything else I’d say what those guys show is what’s been obvious for a while now, which is that you really need a QB that can make things happen with his legs. Being able to throw on the run and punish defenses who rush too aggressively is the best way to offset how good pass rushers are getting and how poor most o line play is.

Who was the last young QB drafted that was actually a successful pocket passer? The sun is setting on those types of QBs.
