Agree, we're at the point where we don't really have much to lose. I'd personally rather give Mariota a chance over Trubisky but either would be fine. Definitely have potential for a band-aid as we rebuild the next 3-4 years. And at any time we have a better option at a qb either in draft or big trade we can still always do that. Low risk move.

I'm glad I'm not seeing things. I've noticed it all season too. There are plays like right next to him where a rb is fighting for extra yards or a scrum is forming and he'll just watch it or jog to it. It's just strange to me. It almost like he's saving up all his energy for his speed rush to get sacks and hustling will just tire him out. If I recall correctly I think 3 of his 4 tackles yesterday were when the running back just ran right in to him at the line of scrimmage.

Realistically they won't trade Chase, he's like the face of the franchise right now and it would look terrible for them to trade a #2 pick for some 2nd round pick. Not saying I wouldn't trade him, but I doubt it's even being considered. He just stops and watches so many plays, I have no clue why he's doing that this year. He at least hustled last year.

8 games, 1.5 sacks, 3 tfls. Nick Bosa did more than that today.

Only difference is burrow only started two seasons and was decent one year and greatest season ever the next. Pickett is now a full on 4 year starter and was absolutely mediocre to below mediocre his first 35 games. About to throw 600 yards today, ha

I don’t know what Kenny Pickett did over the off-season but he should write a book about it because not sure if I’ve seen a 4 year starter be so terrible for his first 3 years than all of a sudden became an unstoppable legit nfl prospect. Crazy

You know life is bad when Trubisky is someone you want to give a chance too. But I’m game for Trubisky or Mariota. Nothing to lose really. Low risk. If we were in a more serious position to compete probably would be a no go. But let’s see what they can do. Both only 27

You’ve got to be mocking us

We had our chance. Had a #2 pick in the draft. Instead of making a move for a franchise qb we didn't. Then we got better and missed out on other qbs. I'm anti-tanking for sure, building a winning culture is more important than tanking to me, but when you're actually so bad that you get a top two pick you better make it count. Ron won't let us be that bad again. So we're going to have pray a patrick mahomes lands in that 7-12 range either this year or next. Which is doubtful. I honestly would take a risk in the meantime, like give Marcus Mariota a shot.

7 games 1.5 Sacks 3 TFLs 4 QB Hits 3 QB Knockdowns Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's not even 2nd round pick good. Azeez Ojulari pretty much had a better individual game yesterday than Chase's entire season.

I’m just frustrated because I thought we had a defense to build around which gave me hope about our future. But now there are so many frikkin holes it just doesn’t seem like there’s anything to look forward too for a while.

I’d take Corral any day but doubt he’s gonna be there for us. Have a feeling he’ll be taken by the Lions

I left weeks before that. Had nothing to do with Chase, lol. You guys crack me up that you even remember. Nick Bosa rookie year 80 pressures Chase Young rookie year 39 pressures Wasn’t even close. It was all hype. Very little production to warrant a pro bowl spot. DPOY was just lack of competition. Like who else was there?

Calling people cowards is a little harsh but I understand you’re a little upset, lol. When I left he was still mediocre. Not sure what revisionist history you got going on. Keep the insults coming though.

Our expectations of a top 2 pick are just different. Have been the entire time. Your loyalty to mediocrity is admirable though.

Had a nice pass deflection

I don't believe a single thing you're saying is actually going on but if he is, I wouldn't want him as my qb. This whole notion that he isn't playing his hardest because he might get hurt is ridiculous.

The QB market is rough right now. Pretty much Minshew, Tua, or Jimmy G are the best options. Even the young backups you can pray to develop aren't there. Maybe Drew Lock? Yikes... luckily we have so much wrong with us we don't need to rush on getting a qb right now. Sticking with Heinicke (sp?), giving Kyle Allen a chance, or waiting for Fitz might be our best option. The draft is looking rough for qbs this year though. It's really disappointing our defense has crumbled like it has, would have been nice to be able to build around last years defense. Now we're in a tough spot.

Not a huge fan of Tua but I’d become one if we got him. Would be more excited for him more than any qb we’ve had since rg3. If not I’m fine just rolling out some mediocre dudes until we have the right opportunity. There is just no reason to rush with how much we need. But if we could get Corral, which is doubtful, or pick up someone like Tua I’m down.

I wouldn’t be surprised by this. If the WFT defense doesn’t come out swinging and have some pride I’ll be upset but I fully expect them to play their best game of the season this Sunday while for the packers this is a very low intensity game for them. Possible, but arod is kind of good.

It's usually the opposite of this. When you get your one chance you go all out without fear of anything. Playing timid is the last thing you should do with your one chance. But I don't think that's what he's doing to be honest. I think he's just trying to prove he's a legitimate passer.

Joe Burrow is a flat out stud. I'm probably in the minority now but I'd still take him over Herbert to be honest. And yea, I don't think Chase is a top 10 pick with the information we know now. Maybe somebody thinks he can develop in to it.

He's looked better the last two games. But he seems to have lost his high motor from last year. I swear he stands around and just watches more than any other player. If his speed rush doesn't work or the qb scrambles to where he's at, he's just done with the play.

Truth. Was born in to it also. Had no choice, like a religion. My dads a Native American from the east coast and was a die hard Redskins fan and although he lived through the good years and thought he was handing off greatness to me, I was born in to this suffering. Well technically I was a kid in 91 but barely remember any of it. My first memories were of Gus and Michael Westbrook. Just pure pain. But can’t give up now.

The deflating thing is it almost seemed like we had a defense to build around, had Terry/Gibson, just needed one more year to get couple more offensive pieces and a linebacker than find our franchise qb and we’re good to go. Now it seems like we need to rebuild the whole team other than Terry. I see no hope in sight, many many more years of sadness.
