I think the "plan" has had many forms this offseason:
- The plan was to pursue Watson (until it wasn't)
- The plan was to pursue Stafford (until he signed with LA)
- The plan was to pursue Rodgers (even if it was a pipe dream)
- Then the plan was to secure a top QB draft pick with Lance as the favorite and Jimmy as the presumptive starter
- Then it was Lance and Garoppolo split reps in a 2-QB system
- Next...
My point being that the goal posts keep moving, and definitely since Lance has been so effective early in his development.
