it’s all hypothetical stuff anyway. But I think people in general underestimate how hard it is to land an elite generational talent type of qb. Not just on here but nfl fans as a while. I’m talking your Brady, Montana, Mahomes, type of qb’s. A lot of it is luck and timing. Some of it is being bad at the right time. Some of it is circumstance. It took some teams decades to finally land that star talent. Outside of 2 seasons of end of his career Joe Montana. The Chiefs were constantly getting your middle of the pack slightly above average guys like Alex Smith, Elvis Grbac, Trent Green etc and fizzling out in the playoffs with subpar qb play. They went decades before hitting the jackpot with Mahomes.
In some crazy hypothetical situation where they decided to abruptly move on from Purdy. How confident would you be in the guys who traded two first round picks for Trey Lance while also strongly considering Mac Jones to make a similar trade? Because they’re not going to be bad enough to get the number 1 pick anytime soon. They’ve landed some absolute gems in the later rounds of the draft. But outside of the Bosa pick which was a for sure thing, their first round pick track record has been shaky.
And on another note, in the last 50 years, there’s only been 5 qb’s who were once the number 1 pick in the draft who started and won a Super Bowl. And one of those guys (Stafford) did it with an entirely different team.
req81 is going to be keep saying he's trash or terrible, i'm just wondering where was this take when jimmy was doing the same thing, to a worse extent.
