It scares me because it's incredibly irrational and dangerous. Potentially because we lucked into Brock the move for Trey can be brushed aside and essentially called even. But how can our evaluation of Trey be so terrible to make such a big move and then not give him the tools to try to turn him into the best version of himself?
The kid is clearly putting in the work to improve but it's borderline malpractice to give Trey that few reps over a 55 game starter in Darnold and friggin Brandon Allen.
This fear, is irrational, as it basically assumes a couple things. One it assumes TL is a world beater, elite QB1 of the future. Two, it assumes KS doesn't know that or care, and wants to bury him on the chart, for no good reason, cuz he is mean I guess?
Both those things, ask yourself if they make sense? If #1 is true, why would KS do the 2nd part?
With the price he paid on TL, he wants to play TL, heck you pay that price, you want to start that guy year 1, day 1. Need compelling reasons, not to. I feel TL will be here, unless he falls to below Darnold or B Allen on the chart. I will ask you this, if in year 3 of the system, he is behind Darnold or B Allen, does he deserve to be on the team?
I see ppl wringing their hands over the TL is a stud and KS doesn't know it, scenario, and that scenario paints KS as a fool, which he isn't.. and paints him as someone who doesn't want to play his guy he spent 3 ones on, which makes zero sense. Bottom line, in the NFL, you need to be able to play. There is no real developmental league, like MLB has with the minors. You gotta be able to help the team win today, not in 5 years, potentially.
I can assure you Lance is a better QB than Brandon Allen and yet today Allen got the same amount of reps as Lance.
Kyle may not be a fool but he's got his own thoughts on things and hasn't always been right with his personnel decisions. Howie Roseman is considered one of the best GMs in the NFL now and he was going to give up on Jalen Hurts who had a lot more film showing what he can do in this league. We know how that turned out.
Perhaps Kyle is rightfully traumatized by what happened last year so he wants to build the best QB room possible but you shouldn't try to hurt the guys who may still give you a chance to win games and go far if something happens to Brock for another Josh Johnson.
Also nothing I said assumes Trey is a world beater elite QB. It's a simple analysis based on what Trey has shown so far in his career and this camp with his work in the offseason. That's enough info to tell me he gives us a better chance to win games than Brandon Allen and I have enough information on Sam Darnold where I believe Trey would be better than him as well. And the scary part is more for Kyle making a big move and then throwing it away before giving it the time it needed.
it's really not that deep.
