And that isn't ever going to change so quit repeating it. Makes me want to quit being a fan cause it is hopeless...

It's been said hundreds of times but anyways, this team is still reeling from the giant whiff of the 2015 draft. Of those 9 picks 1 is still on the team - Uzomah. For a team that relies so heavily on the draft a FUBAR like that resonates for years after.
Then take the 2017 draft into consideration. #1 Ross he can't stay on the field. #2 Mixon umm ok #3 Willis - gone #4 Lawson - see Ross #4A Malone - gone #4B Glasgow ok.
Then 2018 #1 Price, serious questions #2 Bates still hope I guess ? #3A Hubbard - good one #3B Jefferson - gone #4 Walton - gone.
2015 - 6 picks in first four rounds - none still on team
2017 - again 6 picks in first four rounds - 2 are gone, 2 can't stay on the field
2018 - 5 picks in first four rounds - 2 are gone, and 1 is regressing badly
You simply can't miss on that many of your picks in the first 4 rounds of three drafts !
Spot on brother.

0-8 should give these guys a little hint that we are on the rebuild.
I never would of thought this going into the season but the ones saying this were correct and so are you as usual.

Plus, he strikes me as a pure pocket passer, which is entirely predicated on having a great offensive line - which we do not currently have.
Does sound like a solid plan, i agree with you on Eason though. Need to get a QB with great pocket awareness and
great feet. Might need to roll with Finley next season and go for Fields, Herbert or Lawrence in 21 as SHRacer said.
