QB coach, or maybe just scouting and acquiring viable QB talent…
This is the crux of the whole situation.
He didn't scout Mahomes and Watson because he assumed he'd get Kirk Cousin - strike 1
He didn't pursue Brady when available because he wanted to ride with Jimmy after hiding him in the playoffs - strike 2
He was in on Stafford until the Rams swooped in - strike 3
Trades a haul for the third pick, which they admit to liking "all 5 guys" - this one remains TBD
My point is, he doesn't have a good track record. I contend we'd have a championship right now if any of the top three went the other way.
So going forward, I don't believe Shanahan has proven he can scout and acquire a top FQB unless Lance becomes that. So we should give him runway first Lance to develop, but it that situation goes south, he shouldnt get another shot.
