Maybe we could have hired a Jim Harbitch type, had some good years and got Andy when it was time.
I will die on the hill that giving a guy that couldn't start in college and missed the playoffs throwing to the best WR corps ever assembed for the best coach that ever lived 65 Million without taking a ****ing snap is necessary to picking a good QB based off of a sound scouting and drafting strategy.
Philly didn't have to do it with Hurts. Cowbitches didn't have to do it with Dak. 9ers didn't have to do it with Purdy (maybe). Giants didn't have to do it with Jones. Green Bay certainly didn't do it with Rodgers. Seahawks, Lions, and the ****ing Bucs got theirs through FA
Bills didn't do with Allen. Brother****ing Cheatriot didn't do it with Jones. Fins didn't do it with Tua. Bengals - there is an argument they did. Ravens didn't do it with Lamar. Chargers didn't do it with Herbert. Jags certainly did with Lawrence. Flaming Tacks got theirs in FA.
That's your playoff contenders. It's pretty much us and the Bengals. And when we got Mahomes we did it off a 10 win season, so we didn't do it to get Mahomes. It's just Burrow that came from intollerable sadness.
Consider my flag planted. **** Squimin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards and Scott Franchise Killer Pioli.

I don't know about the Giants and Dolphins. The Giants were pretty bad for multiple seasons when they took Jones at 6-- Eli's final seasons were horrific. And remember that the Dolphins tried everything they could to tank and get the #1 overall pick that year they took Tua. They may have had a competent coach in place, but their GM/ownership fielded a piss poor team on purpose, and for awhile it looked like they were a shoo-in for that #1 overall.
