This whole thing is nutty. It’s a fairly unprecedented situation. No one knows how it’s going to turn out. All the talk about this ignores just how novel this situation is. First, the role of the QB in this offense is unlike any we’ve seen historically. It may turn out that the system is actually QB friendly in a way that makes it so that less gifted QBs can run it so long as they are scrappy, decisive and fairly accurate. Second, this isn’t Alex Smith where we were asked to sit through years of mediocrity waiting for it to click. We don’t have enough data on Lance good or bad. Third, Purdy is hurt and won’t be building the same rapport that he had with the team before. And if he is who he says he is (and who we all hope he is) he will contribute to Lance growing. So now, imagine Lance, in a room on a team with Darnold and Purdy, they are all determined to get this team to the superbowl. There isn’t a Trey hater in that room. There are no Purdy stans. And nobody in there would know what i was talking about if I said any of the shit Darnoldites talk about. The FO isn’t just looking at trade values and shit. They are developing a team and under really unique circumstances. We on the outside simply cannot derive their calculus from the clues we have. The ending of this movie is a surprise.
The one thing we can’t let happen is we trade him, and then Brock is a fluke or he gets hurt again. Keep him for at least one more year and if Brock balls out again then trade him
