let's stop being instant gratification reactionary emotional fans for 2 secs. How about that for some common sense?
what's even sillier is you want to draft another QB if Brock fails lol…you actually gonna let that one develop or no?
I don't think we're trading Lance, but we could probably spend another mid-low round pick on a QB with 3-4 years of experience and have an equally or more useful backup than Trey in the short term. That's effectively what is happening now. Your 7th round pick has shown much better than your multi year project in the now, and the now is what matters given you have a Super Bowl level team.
It's been brought up multiple times in the other thread, but your idea that the team can 'win games' with average QB play, in the context of playing Trey Lance, misses the mark in two ways: that winning games and not maximizing the chance of winning the Super Bowl now should be a goal, and that Trey is anywhere near an average starting QB when he hasn't shown anything close. Imagine if the team didn't compound their draft mistake by handing the QB job to Lance unearned and sidelining their competent starter during the offseason. Maybe you only have 2 losses and are right there for the 1 seed, improving your chances of winning this years SB.
