AND Lance can be a major bust for a top 5 draft pick. Wouldn't be the first guy.

Just stop telling me we've seen what Brock can do.

The fact that your first instinct when seeing someone say that there is a POSSIBILITY that Brock could "turn into a pumpkin" is to talk about Trey Lance shows your bias.

We all know its possible Lance could be a major bust. We all know its possible Lance could be the best QB to ever play the game. But it is probable that he is somewhere in between those two opposite ends.

Know one knows anything for sure.....which includes how good Purdy will be moving forward post injury. Not everything that isnt sunshine and rainbows is a slight.

I do have a bias. I'm biased towards players who help the team win. I liked Jimmy because the team won with him. I like Brock because the team won with him. Trey had a stacked team and is 1-2 as a starter in games he finished. If Trey somehow turned into something great I'd be loving it. I just don't see it.

my man
I voted for Trey, Brock, Darnold.

I realize the poll said assumption is all 3 are healthy and that's fine but I really think Brock won't be ready by week 1 and I'd personally rather see Lance get out there to give us a better look at him since he'll be available for all of camp/preseason vs Brock who likely will have to wait on full practice at best until mid/late training camp.

Basically I think even if Brock is healthy by week 1, I think he'll need some time to build himself up to be game ready so I'd rather see Lance go out there first and then we can see if Brock gets the job back or if all goes well with Trey we stick with him and feel really good about our depth.

But honestly as long as Darnold is QB3 and we don't see him playing in games that matter that's all that matters to me.

Just not biased toward coaches that help the team win

The likeliest scenario if all goes well is IR for Brock and he's ready to roll week 4.

So you're basically a sheep with no ability at rational thought?

By your logic
12/21 151 yards 0 TD 1 INT with 20 yards rushing and a fumble in a 9-0 win = good QB play, go Jimmy!
13/28 168 yards 0 TD 1 INT with 54 yards rushing and a fumble in a 10-19 loss = bad QB play, bad Trey!

Do you see the difference?

Guess what, that's the 1 loss in Trey's 1-2 record. The other was his first NFL start as a 21 year old dealing with a messed up finger.

The kid was our leading rusher in both losses. MAYBE the team didn't do their part to lift up the young guy like everyone claimed they would?

We have a very talented team in place. Trey has not played so bad as to overcome that level of talent. Sam Darnold has had games like that btw...

The games where your QB is just playing so bad that the rest of your team just can't compensate with all their talent.

Which is why the whole "Trey hasn't won for us" argument is so stupid. You guys love to downplay Houston but fact was the one start he had in a must win game to keep our playoff hopes alive - he won. It also happened to be the game where the rest of the team played up to their end.

Genus, you open by saying if you don't agree with genus you are a 'sheep'.. that's not a good opening, I find the best posters open the door for two sides of the coin to be correct, not a see it my way or you are a fool style posting..

it's more than fair as a fan of the team to say you prefer a proven guy with a 99 rating 38-17 record over an unproven guy, who's future is TBD. feel free to try and convince me otherwise
Guys, calling other posters sheep or any other epithet is going to get you warned, suspended or permanently banned.

I like Trey and I like Brock so I don't care who. For the sake of the poll i voted Brock, Trey, Sam.

No preference, whoever can play well, produce and rally this team around them to win football games. BP won all his starts and produced very well. JG did also when he arrived.

So unproven only matters with one guy.

production matters
to the extent each guy produces I want to see em out there to the same extent
seems straightforward to me
