Niners should be shit on though. Because it’s a snowball effect. That draft mistake eventually leads to the Niners having to trade a lot to move up and get Lance.

Being a GM can be unfair. But you are judged on how many big mistakes you have on the job.

Allen maybe busts in other situations. But I don’t buy too much into the situation thing when going the other way. It’s so hard to be a good qb in the nfl that I think if you have the tools they will flourish usually. Unless it’s like
Harrington Lions situation bad
celest zephyr
he went to a good place. wouldn't trust most of the teams which picked high to develop a qb well
weak gull
Allen is maybe one of the few who fits that category for me
But even he entered a crap situation in buffalo early on
dim kettle
Allen was put in the worst spot. Maybe next to the Browns offensively.
Bills were bad on offense
weak gull
Yeah, why I don’t think the situation thing applies too much
I know he had under a 1:1 TD/INT ratio too
Allen’s better for that though, why I like your take that you just have to throw your guy out there sometimes. Realistically, a lot of guys ain’t learning much being on the bench
celest zephyr
buffalo is more just patience

I’m a big Allen fan. So I did watch a lot of Bill games those early years of Allen. I mean, this was the same offense that benched Taylor the season before. They didn’t do much to fix it.

This too…although I truly thought mahomes shouldve been getting mocked top 5
people were pretty non-up on him until the lead up to the draft
at least media members
but he obviously raised cause measurables and stuff

that would have been a huge reach
obviously he's good now but it's pure hindsight

Kinda how I feel
proud coyote
cause we would have ended up with myles garrett
weak gull
But also you have to see your guy
If he isn’t who you trust to give the keys you can’t pick him in first round. Shanny wouldn’t have thought that based off what he said
Bad pick, but they were never taking a QB
Cause if he was no way he doesn’t at least look at mahomes imo
proud coyote
I recall everyone thought mahomes was going to houston
dim kettle
Like I said. Being GM can be unfair. But it’s a fact that you are judged based on hindsight. Jets drafted a good QB in Ken O'Brien. But we only know him for being picked before Marino.
proud coyote
I thought fournette was gonna be one of the better RBs all time coming out
he had everything
one of the best college power backs I've ever seen, AND he was fast
weak gull
I recall everyone thought mahomes was going to houston
Most people did. I thought Cincy would do it but nope.
I also had Watson going higher as well
I knew he wasn’t mocked super high but I couldn’t believe he wasn’t going top 10 tbh
proud coyote
I figured watson would slip a bit tbh, my friend was super pro-watson and had him top 5
he might have slipped if the chiefs hadn't grabbed mahomes as I think houston would have

I was wrong about Solomon Thomas and I was wrong about CMC. I didn’t think he was going into the top 10

Edmonton at least has the top end talent to make a run

The Oilers will make it and look good just by the fact their division is weaker. If they blew leads I’d even call them the hockey version of the late 2010s Indians.

Can see a legit chance the vikings lions Seahawks etc don’t make it

My only argument I’d have rn is you can really only point to 2 teams in the NFC that could tank. The West. You think the Canucks, Ducks, Sharks, Yotes gonna do much?
And that’s not even discussing teams that refuse to rebuild like the Jets or Flames.
short flame
My only argument I’d have rn is you can really only point to 2 teams in the NFC ...
Canucks yes

You can guarantee 6 slots in the playoffs precisely because the West is such a joke.
