Came here to say the same. Jimmy got us to a Superbowl, he was worth it. I'm ready for Lance to be the starter, but I will likely never get over how hasty Kyle and Shanny were to blow such a massive amount of draft capital to move up pre draft for an inexperienced project QB. We should have taken whoever was there at 12 or used a single 2nd or 3rd to move up a spot or two to get someone on draft day. I realize that YOU CAN'T JUDGE THE KID AFTER TWO GAMES, but to me, a QB who wasn't able to overtake a so-called below average QB in training camp or when he got a chance to start in week 5 it's already proven to be an over-pay.
2nd rd pick and $100M was worth a trip to the SB? Let's not forget he played a pretty big part in losing that game...I mean rex grossman got the Bears to the Super Bowl lol.
Who gives a s**t about draft capital if he turns into a good starting QB for the next decade...the draft is a crap shoot anyway. We threw away 2 1st rd picks all the same in 2017. You like a QB you spend up for them. period.
Up until this yr they've spent a 1st on a QB ONCE in 23yrs...and it's not because they've been flush with amazing QB talent over that time either.
You're contradicting yourself by saying you can't judge him after two games (in all caps) THEN say after a W5 game you think he's an over-pay because he didn't "win" the job....news flash, this wasn't a QB competition. Kyle made that perfectly clear the moment he was drafted and they gave Jimmy $26.4M. He never got a chance to practice with the starters, regardless of the news outlets saying he was playing better than Jimmy in the beginning of camp. This was Jimmy's team this year, none of that was gonna change unless he got hurt. Which he did...again.
Instead of being passive-aggressive just admit you don't like Lance or the move up for a QB and you're a Jimmy guy through and through. It's very obvious that's what you are.
