2) Carson Wentz- I can see Kevin O’ Connell reshaping him a little bit. He has spent some time with him, Mahomes/Reid, and Stafford/McVay the last few years and may have refined himself a bit. Plus, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him outperform McCarthy at times this year but get the boot because they are invested in JJ. 
 

It's a little concerning that he can't catch on anywhere. Indy couldn't get him out of town fast enough.

One last thing, they could have brought Lock in this year, right? Didn’t for some reason. I know that when Canales got here they talked to him and he had committed elsewhere. But I didn’t see that they talked to him this year. That means something, but who knows what. 
 

I’d like to see a process of selection Re QB that didn’t include Bryce in whatever considerations get considered. What would we do without him murking up the waters.

Desirable QBs have options.

Our franchise is too inept to draft one.

What am I missing?

Fishing around in the dumpster isn't the answer.

Get better at prospect evaluation is literally the only answer. Or maybe drastically overpay some aging veteran, which seems like an unwise idea.

I don’t know. I think if Bryce doesn’t work out, which seems to be the way things are heading- I don’t see us drafting a QB. We should but we won’t because Canales and Morgan will be on year 3 and panicking. So the year we shouldn’t have drafted a QB we did and the year we should, we won’t IMO.

If we go the vet route, assuming Morgan and Canales are still here, I see three options. 
 

1) Drew Lock- can totally see them taking a Jake Delhomme style approach with it like they did in 03 and he has a little overlap with Canales. 
 

2) Carson Wentz- I can see Kevin O’ Connell reshaping him a little bit. He has spent some time with him, Mahomes/Reid, and Stafford/McVay the last few years and may have refined himself a bit. Plus, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him outperform McCarthy at times this year but get the boot because they are invested in JJ. 
 

3) Davis Mills- Considered one of the better back ups in the league. Big guy, big arm, very football smart. 

Upper tier backups have good options available. 

Also, hitching your bandwagon to a career backup isn't likely to pan out. 

Mills is a possibility, but that would have to be a trade. He is under contract through 2026. Same with Lock, under contract through 2026.

It will be interesting this year to see if spending time with some of the best QBs and play callers in the league changed Wentz at all.

I really think Mills is starter material. He wasn’t awful despite being apart of two dumpster fire seasons before Demeco got there.

Plus he would have zero issues seeing over the line.

      XL about to turn the corner

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
