I probably wouldn't have made the playoffs in 2013, I guess. Oh no. What would this team ****ing do without that playoff berth?

Oh, that's right. We'd have a better LT, would have had the money to afford Emmanuel Sanders, and would be up two 2nd round picks over two drafts.

I TOTALLY would have run the team into the ground

And let's say you buy into the narrative that Clark and Andy decided in the Philadelphia airport meeting that Alex Smith would be the starting QB going forward and that was that.

If that happened, I would have burned our 1.1 pick on Alex Smith and a gift card to Subway. You know... used the undesirable draft stock to work for our benefit and get the necessities done so we wouldn't be tied down with that shitty trade going into the NEXT draft as well.

And that's not hindsight, either. I said that in the weeks following the Smith trade before the draft. Go look it up.

I, at least, have some testicles, unlike 90% of this dumbass forum that sticks their fingers up their butts all day and say stupid shit like, "I probably would have aimed for Hitler if I were a WWI Allied commander"
