Of course that's the problem.

That's always been the problem.

But evidently folks want us to just suck sweaty dicks and sell out for the 1.1 pick every season. I just don't understand it.

WTF is the problem with being competitive while also looking for a young QB? People keep saying "well you get stuck in the middle and never get a shot at said QB!" and that's just not true. They point to the 90's Chiefs as though the Chiefs ever made a play for a young QB at all.

The problem wasn't that they never had a chance at one - it's that they never even tried.

This regime looked dangerously close to that and when they wouldn't even use a !@#$ing 7th rounder on Tyler Bray, I was damn worried they'd be the same. But y'know what? They went out and got him. And Bray has as much raw talent as anyone to come out in the draft this year. That's some pretty exciting stuff.

Now lets go win some damn football games and watch this kid develop into the stud his talent says he can be. Even if he sits for 3 seasons, he'll be 24 when he gets his first starting gig. Time is on our side here.
