You see something that hasn't been shown. That's called hope. I see a HUGE mistake giving up all the draft picks for this kid when they could've went to trading for Rodgers. See Rams and Bucs. Both had SB rosters without a QB. They added that QB and won SB's

Because of getting to the NFCCG the trade up for Trey became CHEAP.
Make the divisional round next year and then even cheaper.
And by far well worth this risk to move up. Our 1st this year was actually worth a 2nd at the time of the trade due to the year delay, and our 1st next year worth essentially a 3rd at execution. And now when those 1sts come due they may both be picks in the high 20s which is nothing if have a chance to grab a FQB that would have gone #1 in the draft this year.
We called about Rodgers last year. He wasn't available. Rams gave up two 1sts for a 33 year old QB and were able to pull it off and win the SB because our starting QB was not good enough. I would have liked to see Lance have the chance to play Stafford in the NFCCG...think he could have put up 24+ points and won the game but we'll never know.
Those clips from Lance rolling left and releasing as he did were definitely Mahomes-like. Whether he has the talent of Mahomes remains to be seen and is unlikely as Mahomes is a superstar generational talent. But there are certainly good reasons for optimism and yes...rational hope.
Believing in Jimmy was pure hopium in the face of an accumulation of evidence that he simply had regressed and was not good enough to carry the team to a SB victory.
The mistake in hindsight was not drafting Trey - it was keeping Jimmy when Brady wanted to come here. With Brady we go nowhere last year due to the injuries but win the SB this year with Trey ready to come in once Brady retired.
