Yeah he is. He really impressed me this season even though it wasn’t even his best year. He’s an unquestioned leader of men. Something we desperately need.

but yeah, for his sake I hope it doesn’t happen. Vegas would be so stupid to move him.

He got hurt coming out in the draft by his brothers legacy which wasn’t even his fault to be honest.  David spent a career getting destroyed behind bad OLs in historically bad way.

I remember absolutely not being able to find any flaws in Derek coming out.  Great arm, leader, accuracy…he had it all.  He is a upper tier QB.

Plug Derek into this team with an improved (like really improved) OL and we can do something.  30 isn’t that old with his talent

No good QB is going to want to come here with this offensive line and coaching staff. So we're going to spend money on a bad QB, then we'll probably draft a bad QB for good measure, and do nothing to fix the offensive line, and then wonder why we're here again in 2023.

Bingo.

He wins games though. 

While true, the best ability is availability and he doesn’t have that.  He’s probably not even playing this weekend due to thumb and shoulder problems.  Considering our situation it’s not worth wasting money on a guy like him with our OL woes.  But I agree, when he’s healthy, he is usually an above average QB

    • I think evaluating QBs making the transition to the NFL is just a lot harder and more nuanced than draftniks make it out to be. That and the rookie wage scale means that if you don't have a franchise QB on the roster and you think this guy might be one you're almost forced to draft him now that you're protected from giving that guy a future HOFer type contract before he ever plays an NFL down. The expectation for mist of these guys to play right away is also not helping IMO.
    • Plenty of good teams made it to Super Bowls and some even won with meh QBs. Takes solid defense, good offensive planning and play calling and a helluva lot of magic. And I think the great QB elevating a team thing is overplayed too much. History just doesn't bear it out. Sure, it can lift a moderately good team like Mahomes did with the Chiefs, or Hurts did with the Eagles. And one can argue about Brady and the Pats (or even Bucs) but if you look at those Patriot and Buccaneer teams... there was something very solid in place already.  Heck, the whole idea that a single player can make or break an NFL team is vastly overplayed. The Cowboys have had a roster full of "star" players for decades now and have gotten bupkus in return. The Raiders have chased everything they could and have floundered mightily. The Giants have had star after star and nothing.  It's just hard to sell posters of a team. Give the marketing people a star though...
    • Seems you found the "exception" to the OP. Eli wasn't actually drafted by the Giants. But that's the only team he ever played for since he refused to go to San Diego.
