All those shitty losses by KC were just as much on him as anyone. I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that he racks up stats on the year his replacement is drafted. He’s the John Fox of QBs.
I also have no interest in any vet over the age of 32. Nobody on their last legs. Bree’s, Eli, etc. they’ve had their party and they aren’t going to get us any closer to building a long-term successful franchise. No journeymen or broken guys either. Sam Bradford can crawl his broke ass back in the tub. This whole “let the young guy sits while the washed up vet plays so he can learn” is BS in this day and age. Stop screwing around and put your hopeful “franchise” QB in. Seriously, will we be any worse starting a rookie QB next year?
For me it’s Cousins or a trade for Luck or drafting a rookie to be the starter. No more screwing around with projects, journeymen, scrubs, and dudes past their prime. I will be very disappointed in this franchise if they set the team back an additional 3 years trying to start a guy like Bradford or Smith or giving Eli one last shot while a QB who was drafted to be the guy sits, festers, and never gets playing time.
