I think the WFT needs to move toward getting a franchise QB now. Our DL is the cornerstone of this team, but as their rookie contracts end they will want to be paid. We won’t be able to keep them all.

An elite, franchise QB makes you into a winner. Not surprisingly the teams with the top QB are in the SB. MOST DRAFT PICKS ARE BUSTS. Even when you’re talking about draft picks in the first day, most aren’t even in the NFL in five years. If having great draft picks equaled success, then the worst teams in the NFL would turn in perennial winners - but neither Cleveland or OUR TEAM have done so. Part of the reason the WFT has failed in the last 20 years is because a football neophyte, Dan Snyder, has either made the top draft personnel choices or heavily influenced that choice. Ramsey, Campbell, RG3 and Haskins are all QB draft busts due to our owner.

Trade whatever you have to, to get an elite QB. Watson will cost a king’s ransom, but you’re a contender for 10 years. Stafford will cost far less, but his shelf life is just 3-6 years. Still, getting him will make you a contender for that period.

Alex Smith is not the answer and besides we need his cap savings this season. An immobile QB can not succeed in the NFL today, unless he is a HOF QB, which Alex is NOT. Heinicke MAY be the answer, but even with his monster game against the Bucs, he’s too uncertain to take a chance on. Sign him as a great backup.

It’s easy to say, “find the great QB who can be a HOFer, but isn’t in the top 3-4 QB taken in that year’s draft. MANY, Many GM’s passed up on Brady (6th round), Wilson and Mahomes. Finding the guaranteed winner QB in the draft is a needle in a haystack. Better to bet the farm on one of the QB FA and then build the team around him. Get either Watson or Stafford and then use any juice you have left to get an excellent FA WR and middle LB. The rest of the team you’re going to have to draft.

I’m disappointed that they’re letting Kyle Smith drift away. He’s good at getting starters from the lower draft picks and UDFA. We’ll need that ability if we can win bidding war that will occur for Stafford or Watson.
