Has a team ever devoted more high draft capital into skill positions in as short a timespan as the Falcons while simultaneously having no plan at quarterback?

Atl off gonna do a reverse Rudy to Ridder and turn in their jerseys until he doesn’t play. God he sucks.
Just not sure what more you need to look at as an NFL franchise that is competing for a division title. Malpractice. Kyle Pitts has probably seen like 40% catchable targets so far in his career.
Browns went from -2.5 to +1. So not a win yet. But a significant change in the Raven's favor.
Just discovering this myself. How bizarre. How many different services do you need to watch the nationally televised games?
I tried to tune in, and Comcast said they need to mail me new equipment at no additional cost. So, I'm paying for something but I can't tune in. What a country!
I hate the NFL as much as anyone but since when are fans entitled to see random extra games on the schedule? In the past, these European games have been on the NFL network, have they not?
Edit: the frustration around Amazon exclusively showing the Thursday night games i get. But these games have almost always been on some version of a paid channel.

I was thinking games were still on the NFL Network, but forgot that Prime has those now. So there’s one less!
Isn't NFL Network pretty widely available and included with most cable packages? How is that the same as requiring me to buy a subscription to ESPN+?
NFL Network is part of all cable and streaming packages now.
ESPN+ is a monthly subscription service.
So it's not quite the same.
And it's actually hilarious that Jonnu is grabbing balls while Kyle Pitts is just a decoy. Bill Simmons once said Pitts' floor was Travis Kelce.
Tough take there.

Jonnu has the same amount of targets as Pitts ytd, (21 for Pitts, 20 for Jonnu) way more yards (179 to 121) and more receptions.(15 to 11)
That Pitts pick was an all timer so far. He's basically N'keal Harry.

Yes, Pitts is widely regarded as the most athletic TE in the NFL. But that doesn't get you very far if you're just an athletic decoy.
Arthur Smith talks about how it's more important to win games than worry about fantasy points. The thing is, he doesn't win many games, either.
I haven’t watched Countdown in years and it started after the Jags game. WTF is with Rex Ryan’s teeth? Frightening.
House brought up an interesting point. Why did the line go from 9.5 to 8.5 in the Jets game? Seems directionally wrong.
The problem with the conventional wisdom is that Pitts is regarded as a TE. I realize there’s no TE in the NFL today like Gronk was, but a guy like Travis Kelce can at least block as well as, say, Tony Gonzalez. Pitts can’t.
When you think of Pitts as a WR, his athleticism suddenly seems pedestrian by NFL standards. Ja’Marr Chase he is not.
My guess is the smart money is staying off that one, and there are more Jets fans than Chiefs fans.
I don’t mind Arthur Smith (at least until now). I cannot understand the Ridder thing. Like what was he seeing in practice.
Yeah but we aren’t the Cowboys or Mexican boxing fans. Like, we are not a hopeful group. I’m more likely to bet the Chiefs (I don’t actually gamble) as emotional insurance.
Puka, most receptions in his first 4 games. Has the rest of the game to extend the number. It's at 31 now.
Smith makes a point of not using his best players. And then is salty about it. And loses more than he wins.
I mind it.
The loss to the Jets was ugly but everyone seemed to just forget the Bills. This is still the second best team in the AFC after KC.
9-point margins of victory are uncommon. So the line can move from 9.5 to 8.5 for dumb reasons, and there’s not much incentive for smart money to push it back up.
