the niners seem to keep moving regardless of qb. The Vikings are doing ok without Kirk cousins. The ravens, without Lamar, don’t win as many games but play competitive football. The colts are still doing as expected with Minshew.

Some of this is coach/scheme, in other cases it’s better insurance options.

We just decided to ensure our season with a guy who had never thrown an NFL pass. Go look around the league at other insurance policy’s to franchise QBs. Chiefs have gabbert who flopped as a first round pick. That said, he is a guy that had been around the block for a while and also in a good scheme. Same for the eagles picking up Mariotta.

If either mahomes or hurts goes down for the year the season is over. But in a short term IR situation, those guys are more likely to win you football games than a guy who had never (ever) thrown an NFL pass before the season.

There was no contingency plan in place. We (the bengals) just decided to take the “free” $25,000 life insurance policy at work instead of actually planning for the worst for our families.
