Also, good things happen when you give Dameon Pierce the ball, so give him the ball more, damnit. And again with Davis Mills throwing interceptions at the worst possible time, Jesus Christ. Can we just skip to the draft and nab his replacement already?
Don't do that, that's just repeating the same mistake that all of the teams that continually suck do. The way you get better is by first getting better everywhere else, then going for the franchise QB. If you have a good defense you'll always be competitive, and good o-line, skill position play, and scheming can mask a lot of deficiencies at the quarterback position. There's a reason Jimmy G has a 48-20 record and 99.1 career QB rating, and it's definitely not his raw talent.
Please, stop advocating for trying to come up with a franchise QB without a good core around him. A good QB can't magically fix all your problems. Throwing a young QB out into the meat grinder before you get him help is just gonna wreck the QB and waste the talent of the few good players you do wind up getting. Your best-case scenario if you draft a QB without enough support is probably something like Stafford and the Lions, and a more likely one is the nonsense that continues to follow the Bears and Jets.
Thing is good tackles and guards are easier to come by than a franchise quarterback.
Though basically I agree with you
