What don't I get? As much as you cry about the Bills defense, the Miami defense was much worse on the whole. Bottom 3 in yards allowed. And they made the postseason with a "worse" QB in Tanny/Moore.
The Bills defense was better than the Dolphins.
29th in yards allowed and still made the postseason but Tyrod needs a top 10 D to be competitive. What a world.
Almost all QB's picked past the first round suck too. It's not like all the second, third, fourth, and fifth round QB's kill it every year compared to #3 to #33.
Peyton with two Super Bowl appearances, one ring, top 2 offense for like 3 years straight, multiple playoff wins and multiple 11+ win seasons?
Not even close to 15-15 with TT? Seriously?
Assuming there's no dead money.
I think you have to take Watson's potential to be more than a middling to mediocre starter over a middling to mediocre starter.
The "stacked" team Dak Prescott got drafted to went 4-12 the year before.
It was obvious that Whaley had no plan or strategy. He picked guys he loved and that was it.
And yet we all belived that Mahomes, Watson, Kizer etc would produce more successful NFL QB's than the group in the 2016 class.
That belief changes, fast. Usually when the fanbase and team is actually faced with the prospect of taking a QB.
