I want either ten wins or two wins. Nothing in between. Sadly, I think that is where we will end up.

yep, we will be just good enough to not get a high draft pick but not good enough to make any noise in the playoffs.

So if this is true, and I think it is the most likely outcome, how do we escape this particular kind of football hell?

5-11 or thereabouts

you cant unless you produce a terrible year when some good QBs come into the draft or somehow get lucky with a FA QB which isnt likely to happen.

no one on the current staff would seem to be the type to tank.

After checking the schedule, anywhere from 6-10 to 8-8, so probably 7-9.
This assumes Brissett plays all games.
If Kelly gets up to speed and plays at least half the games, 10-6 is possible.

Agreed. It's though adjusting your hopes down from a possible run where you had a chance every year to go make it to the Super Bowl to whatever it is we are now. To be a consistent threat you seem to need a franchise qb.

I count 9 winnable games, 1 I'm fairly confident about, so I'll say 5-11. Hopefully that's bad enough for a Top 5 pick.

Well we squandered it. Backed a couple idiots too long. Teams already move on after a season or two. I wonder if they will move even faster now afraid their window might retire after a big contract.

I don’t even know if I want any of the QBs in this draft.
