Pioli got us in this rut, where we have high caliber players that deserve for us to take a shot and no QB that has grown with them. We made the right choice by sticking with the vets and giving them the best chance to win now.
It sucks, but most people want to keep quality players and those players have a shelf life. We made a commitment to those players IMO when we signed Smith and I hope it works out.

Quite to be blunt about this but, I could give a **** about any player on this roster if we can draft a quarterback and build a team around him too win Super Bowls with.
I love Jamaal Charles but at this point if we could get a Hershal Walker type deal for him I'd take it.
I watched #58 year after year chasing and sacking quarterbacks and loved the guy as a family member. Off the top of my head I think he had 7 or 8 different quarterbacks during that time. Will Shields went through the same issue, it's why Tony Gonzalez went to a team that just drafted a quarterback in Matt Ryan. He didn't go to a veteran QB team.
I've seen teams turn their shit around in a year or two so we don't have to wait. Granted with much better QB draft classes but it's the point of taking a chance and go with it.
I live in a fantasy world I know this much to be true or at least it's just wishful thinking to draft a quarterback.
EJ Manuel would have been worth that 1.1 pick. I think he could have help this team out significantly even as a rookie make rookie mistakes but we would be better off.
I'm bitter not drafting a quarterback.
