9(8.75?) out of 10 teams who get the #1 pick. Get a shinny new QB.

When a team who hasn't drafted a QB in the first round since 1983 gets it? They get Alex Smith, Chase Daniel.

Disappointment venting sounds reasonable to me.

Yeah this. It seems like Andy liked and wanted Alex Smith from a year ago. So Alex Smith was going be the guy regardless of what Geno Smith did at the combine.

Are they still inviting Geno Smith for a private work out? Are they going to WV proday?

This is what I was talking about...

Jesus Christ.

So ****ing glad I cancelled. I'm not sure if this offseason will be worse than 2009, but it's likely going to provide similar results.

In 2009, we traded the 34th overall pick for a game manager QB with a limited skillset.

In 2013, we traded the 34th overall pick for a game manager QB with a limited skillset.

In 2009, we wasted the 3rd overall pick on a valueless postion.

In 2013, we're likely going to waste the only #1 overall pick we've ever had on a valueless position. (RT)

In 2009, we signed a bunch of "low-B" and "C" tier FA's while difference makers went to other teams.

In 2013, we've signed a bunch of "low-B" and "C" tier FA's and not a single difference maker.


The only difference is that the 8-10 win season might come a season earlier, and we'll likely not see the 1st overall pick ever again - but never win anything of substance either. Nothing like making a piss-poor attempt to "win now" when your main competition is a team QB'd by Peyton Manning - who by the way, just got a new toy. A difference maker.

Enjoy your 8 wins a year and your tailgates. Great seats still available.

Which might be why he's been a pretty terrible coach for the last six years.

"no franchise QB in this draft". Pure ass-wiping speculation and NOTHING more.

Yep, you're right: You're an ass-wiping speculator and NOTHING more.

Glad I cancelled as well. I've been paying upwards of $760 a year plus parking, concessions, etc per game for the last 3 seasons. Although some truefan is sure to pick up my seat this year, so it really won't make a difference, but at least I will save plenty of money to take my wife on a nice vacation later this year.

Yes because after 2008 we released something like 35 players, and most people knew this team would suck in 09 (cept a few idiots)

2012 we underperformed, and I think this team is at least a little better than it was off season 09..

So the answer to the OP is clearly yes.

It's better than 4-12, 2-14, 4-12, 2-14.
