If you're a gambling man, keep Bryce at QB because he will help us tank without even trying to tank. With that no. 1 pick, we go for a QB in the draft and hope he pans out. Quite a gamble. 

Or... 

We can hire outside scouts and evaluators to find good QB prospects in the upcoming draft and pick that diamond in the rough. No more of that S2 cognition test and table manners poo. Then come training camp, hold a genuine QB competition for the starting job, which will result in Bryce being relegated the backup or third stringer on the depth chart. We ride with the new QB come hell and high water while our FO begins a multi-year rebuild to find better pieces to fit the new scheme and playbook. It'll be a grind, but it is what it is. We've dug a deep hole by passing on Stroud for noodle armed midget, and it'll take patience and time to climb out of it.

When I say "numbers" I'm just talking about the macro numbers. That's not a huge concern for me with a rookie or first year starter. But then you dig into the specifics and see that he's at or near the bottom of the league in practically every QB metric and... oh wee mayne.

Doesn’t it feel like we took Rashawn Gaulden at QB? It cost way freaking more, but Gaulden was by far the most unathletic DB at the combine and he was awful and he lasted less than 2 years with us. Young was basically the same. We were just hoping his physical limitations wouldn’t sink him and it looks like they did and his super processor, which Gaulden definitely didn’t have, couldn’t overcome the noodle arm and this eye level:

      After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
