So they weren't Lovie's recruits?
By and large. But i just love how you have a million micro-narratives that ALWAYS perfectly support your larger narrative. You’ve literally got an out for every situation. EG:
Poles didn’t start tanking until he realized his quarterback was awful. He was so awful he tanked a season but didn’t bother replacing him or adding anyone significant to the quarterback room. Why?
Bryce Young: too short. CJ Stroud: Ohio State doesn’t produce good NFL quarterbacks. Anthony Richardson: sucks. Will Levis: sucks.
Derek Carr: sucks. Jimmy G: something about an injury and his contract. Also, he sucks. Baker Mayfield: he sucks.
You’ve literally said all of this. Again, the notion that a GM would tank a season because he thinks his quarterback sucks, and then turn around and do absolutely NOTHING to bring in competition or a replacement is theater of the absurd type shit. And all of your little micro-narratives serve your argument perfectly.
