Embrace the Tank

[MadtownPacker]

Who in their right mind would embrace the Tank? Even hookers charge double to do so.

You and KY are just killing it today with the APB takedowns.

Packers win.

Oh Hell Yeah, THAT is what you to with the STUPID idea of the "tank".

[texaspackerbacker]

The gap between Jordan Love and Joe Burrow is bigger than the gap between Brett Rypien and Jordan Love.

Embrace the tank.

Seriously? This post was AFTER the game? How in the hell can people still rag on Jordan Love? Sheeeesh.

I think there's a chance the tank is buried next week. Steelers are 5-3, but their offense is woeful, #30 overall. In 8 games they have 7 TD passes and 6 INT's. Their ground game is averaging 3.7 YPC. Should be a low scoring game the Packers have a good chance of winning if they protect the football.

From 2012-2021, 21 QB's have been drafted in the top 10. Only Pat Mahomes has been the starting QB for a Super Bowl winner.

QB's taken in top 10 from 2012-2021:

Andrew Luck
Robert Griffin
Ryan Tannehill
Blake Bortles
Jameis Winston
Marcus Mariota
Jared Goff
Carson Wentz
Mitchell Trubisky
Pat Mahomes
Baker Mayfield
Sam Darnold
Josh Allen
Kyler Murray
Daniel Jones
Joe Burrow
Tua Tagovailoa
Trevor Lawrence
Zach Wilson
Trey Lance
Justin Herbert

2 points to make. Goff and Burrow were both IN the Owl so thats something. Also since only ONE team wins an Owl annually this list is bound to skew a certain way. However even those 2 points don't change the fact that this list is at least half epic BUST.

It is a fun exercise to go through these guys and the org, swap the QB in question with Brady, and ask if they would have won anything. I think Tua has a chance despite the assness that is the Dolphins org. They have a great coach presently.

My other take away is don't draft guys from small schools. Who in their right mind didn't think/know Blake Bortles was gonna be a bust? It was so obvious.

I have never considered Bortles a bust.....not compared to a lot of the names on that list. Bortles played in an AFCC game and should have won it if not for the officials deciding that Brady deserves every clutch penalty. To be honest if you called the Bortles bust ahead of time you are in the 1% since he was a consensus top 3 pick. I don't quite get why this guy wasn't given more shots ala Carr, Jimmy G and that ilk. He was every bit as good as they were.

Who in their right mind doesn’t know your testicles don’t explode if you don’t jerk off? Some things never change.

Bortles was... not good. Big guy, strong arm, lots of scouts and coaches liked him. The Jags gave him a 3 year extension after their AFCCC run, but cut him one into it. He was a backup/bounced around a bit after that and retired.
Not great for the 3rd overall pick. Khalil Mack was picked 5th that year.

Using a list of the best QB's in 2023 compiled by SI, it's a mixed bag:

1. Pat Mahomes (10)
2. Joe Burrow (1)
3. Josh Allen (7)
4. Jalen Hurts (53)
5. Justin Herbert (6)
6. Trevor Lawrence (1)
7. Lamar Jackson (32)
8. Aaron Rodgers (24)
9. Matt Stafford (1)
10. Dak Prescott (135)

So SIX out of TEN were top 10

That Tank represents my hopo of GB getting Marvelous Marvin

Says the one that says the Packers would be complete shit if Rodgers left and JL too over

Love was good last game. But the Rams......horrible team with one of the worst QB's playing made us look way better

Playing these HORRIBLE offenses with crap QB's will end us saving JoeB's job again

[call_me_ishmael]

Nothing excites me about Drake. Why would I want a small school homeboy? When has there been a good QB in the past from NC? It just seems sus to me.

I wouldn't know that because I never tested the theory.....
