I’m starting to wonder if there’s a reason Plummer got all the preseason reps…

I’m not trying to pick on you or anything bud, but this take and similar ones have been driving me up a wall. The franchise isn’t drafting, developing or rehabilitating QBs. A small collection of individuals are. Those individuals that were responsible for fumbling Darnold and Baker are gone. The individuals responsible for drafting and developing Bryce his rookie year are gone. Our next QB, Plummer, and anything current or future has nothing to do with previous regimes.
 

Even the one common thread that everyone likes to point at, the owner, isn’t out there going through footwork drills with Bryce or anything like that. He’s made some bad decisions, it happens. Richardson made a LOT too. At this early point it looks like maybe third time’s a charm though.

    • Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.
    • ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.
    • Our red zone offense was excruciatingly painful to watch last season. A half decent TE would do a lot to change that.
