Course they did. That's why we drafted, TL also. You can't have QB1 out, 2 of 3 seasons. There goes your season, happened to us, twice. If JG played every single game, without fail, his value would go up, not down.
We drafted TL bc Jimmy wasn't that good and then on top of it couldn't stay healthy. He showed it plenty of times in big playoff games he couldn't get the job done. If we just wanted a Jimmy clone we would've stayed at 12 and drafted Jones. Either way, you don't draft in the NFL based on bone density, it was obvious what the team wanted talent wise, mobile QB with a strong arm, hence the pick...Jimmy was the polar opposite of that.
Plus Luck got paid a lot money and was still getting injured.
NFL FOs aren't that dumb as a collective, you might have a few guys in over their heads, but not that many. But by all means pretend you're smarter than all NFL execs lol. You guys are obviously right and then rest of the NFL execs, media, fans, all wrong - makes perfect sense lol
