I’m pretty confident in our young QBs. Plenty to be positive about.
Seems like the media has their sights set on Jimmy G, Goff, Darnold and Jones. These four have to put up solid numbers to keep the demons at bay... if Jimmy can stay healthy, and the others can manage their terrible situations, hopefully they’ll be safe.
With any luck Minshew and Trubisky get back into the fold next season.
It may be wishful thinking, but I’d like to see Blake Bortles get another shot somewhere. Hell, if these GMs can look at Teddy Bridgewater’s body of work and think he can be a viable starter, why not Bortles?
I think Jimmy G will be moved in the offseason for Toucan 2.0 - the silver lining is that Lynch has been a very bad GM and their are holes all over the 49ers roster coupled with the draft picks given up to draft Lance third overall - a guy with very limited experience and questionable accuracy. Jimmy G is only 29 and there are teams that could plug him in as the starter. The Texans and Broncos make sense.
Goff SHOULD be safe although Campbell has already called him out. The Lions are bereft of talent all over the roster, having a quality young QB with a Super Bowl appearance on his resume should be the last worry on the Lions roster that has holes every where. Stafford was not able to win on that team and his change of scenery has certainly improved his outlook.
Darnold will probably ride out this season in QB musical chairs with Rhule's pet and then be kept around as a backup type.
Jones looks fine to me, the Giants need to build around him.
I am hoping that a year out of the spotlight and being able to develop will allow Trubisky to develop some and get a FA look next year. It's obvious the league though he was the issue in Chicago. As we are seeing today and this season, it's not him. Minishew is better than Hurts - no arguing that fact. Ideally he gets some starts this year in Philadelphia and makes Howie look stupid for thinking Hurts is a franchise QB.
Bortles is done unfortunately. It's a shame seeing guys like Winston and Bridgewater in the league - they both had chances and proved they were not franchise capable QBs.
