I can't even believe this is a subject of debate. The window of opportunity for a good number of these players is closing within the next couple of years (Flowers, DJ, Charles, Bowe, Hali etc) and with the way the NFL is set up it is very hard to win in this league. This team is set up to win now.
I would much rather be 8-0 with an almost certainty of making the playoffs where anything can happen than possibly sitting at home again saying "wait till next year". Between the two Smiths, Alex gives us the best shot to win now while our window is still open. We have a QB that we can take our time in developing, Bray. I don't want to blow this opportunity to win it all now so we can develop a franchise QB that we will have to rebuild around. When Bray is ready we can rebuild around him.
It is sad that this fan base is so obsessed with a first round QB that they would sacrifice this season for one. Especially when there is no guarantee that he will develop into a franchise QB.
