On bringing in a vet...

If you want someone that might have a Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield type resurgence then I'd bring in Carson Wentz and see if you can tap some of that early career form.

At worse he's a better backup than tune. He's had a year in the Rams and Chiefs offenses, both of which are very good.

Wentz is cooked. But I would give Darnold or Mayfield a hard look if the Cardinals decided to move off Kyler.

Jimmy G turned the ball over more times than he had TDs in both of his 3 game playoff-runs.

Random but Trey Lance might be the worst QB all time when mediocre talents like Brock and Jimmy G are quarterbacking their teams to the NFCCG every year and he couldn’t sniff the field.

Yea, I remember having this convo with some buddies about who was the biggest bust in that class between Zach Wilson & Trey, they said Zach, but Trey had a much better supporting cast & SF spent 3 1st rounders on him. It’s definitely Trey.

Brock's genuinely very good. I'll die on that hill.

He’s definitely the biggest bust in terms of value to the team, but hard to blame him personally when his body just wasn’t up to the challenge of the NFL.

I think it is telling that Purdy started 46 games in college and Jimmy G. started 45 games in college.

Kyler started only 17 games in college.
That didn't stop him from winning OROY and going to two Pro Bowls right out of the gate.

After 6 years in the NFL, that's no more relevant than his high school exploits.

I would rather see a stacked roster that Kyler is holding back than a barely league average roster with a rookie at QB. Build the roster and then aggressively go get the QB you want.

There is no reason that has to be an either or situation. Why y’all are presenting this false choice over and over again is mystifying. The Broncos JUST did this.
