If you could have 1 QB starting this season and for the next 10 years, who would you take?

[DRiccio21]

Jameis

[Cnasty]

Derek Carr

[BFiVL]

Marriota.

I still go Andrew Luck. He has had the worst line/support and Grigson was a disaster. I still think he is elite and will show it

[shel311]

It's a really tough call, especially if you take Rodgers out of it at 33.

I may go with the "safe" pick and take Russell Wilson.

Cam Newton

[nick]

The only elite Qb to be named so far is Wilson so i'll take him. Luck can be, but hes also bandaged up and might die on the field if Indy doesnt change shit up.

Marriota.

+1

Bortles

Any one interested in a weekly pick em type thing I would run? It would be with some other guys I hang out with as well and via email format.

My thoughts:

$50 buy in
Rank system of confidence for all NFL games
No spreads, just winners
Top 2 pay

Was thinking the same with CFB but 10 best games each week.

Possible.

As long as your brother in law actually pays me on time this time...

[Cnasty]

Be happy you got paid.

Cleveland may only win 6 games, but they are a helluva lot more fun to watch than recent seasons. Those bullshit bend but don't break defensive schemes were like torture. It's wise like bleeding out, every time they were on defense. The team is likely going to get toasted on some of these crazy blitz schemes this year, but it's way more exciting to see them attacking. It also helps that there are a few significant talent upgrades.

The offense is taking some similar steps as well. A lot less I form rushes and short routes. Hue is starting to open up the playbook like he did in Cincinnati. The offense has a long way to go though. Corey Coleman is the only playmaking WR. I'm not a fan of Britt or the other WRs. The TEs have huge upside, but right now they are too raw.

I'm hoping that they give Kizer the keys and let him work it out. I think he's mentally ready for the challenge and I don't see a scenario like other young QBs that have been murdered and basically ruined because the OL struggled. He seems like he's learning from his mistakes during the game, which is great.

Successful season:
6 wins, a few close losses, no major injuries, Kizer gets a lot of playing time and develops and defense finishes top 20.

Great season:
7 wins, 1 of the 2 TEs really emerge into a higher level player, and the defense gets close to top 10.

Desmond Bryant has been released...

Consensus opinion...
