Drafting lawrence or fields does nothing for the franchise. They wouldnt outperform dak and the issues we have would still be present. Yall would be some stupid ass GM's
I like Dak a lot but if you're in a position to draft Lawrence or Fields, you run to the podium.
Unlike many posters on here, I don't unfairly hate Dak because he isn't Mahommes, Rodgers or Wilson. But the QB pay scale is broken and only those guys should get that money because IMHO they are transcendent and can work with less. QB salaries are fukking over the salary cap and it's hard to load your team up with great players because of it. You need fantastic drafting, coaching and a shrewd FO to overcome it, elements we do not have.
I think if we draft one of those guys, it isn't an indictment of Dak being a good QB, like many posters would gleefully shout, it would just mean that we can't afford him and this team has massive holes to fill. Actually, if I was a GM, after I found a good/great coach, unless I drafted or have a transcendent QB, I would seriously consider implementing the RB philosophy of letting the player walk after his rookie contract and drafting another. Cousins and Goff really fukked the whole QB pay scale up.
