I get it. I just have a sliver of worry that a fools gold era to the end the season could prolong long-term misery.
For me, and I've been consistent on this,
THIS is misery.
Josh Rosen/Sam Bradford is misery.
John Skelton, Kevin Kolb, and Ryan Lindley are misery.
Derek Anderson and Max Hall are misery.
Right now, there are three miserable teams because they understand their QB situation is hopeless: New England, New Orleans, and Denver. There are a handful more fostering some kind of false hope because their QB is young or have been productive in the past: Jets, Steelers, Indy, Houston, Tennessee, Commies, Giants, Packers, Tampa (maybe), Atlanta, and Carolina (barely).
That's almost half the league! With healthy Kyler we're in the next group of teams who are going to be in the hunt no matter what. I'd put Baltimore, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Dallas, Detroit, Minnesota, Seattle, and the Rams in this group.
The next level up is prohibitive Super Bowl favorites.
