Marcus Mariotta and Blaine Glabbert are much better (and more expensive) than Jake browning.

Having a solid vet who can manage a 4 game stretch is Uber valuable and really doesn’t cost all that much money. If a season ending injury, it really doesn’t matter who the backup qb is.

I hope there is a lesson learned from the early calf injury this year. Would have been great to play someone other than burrow until he was fully healed. That said, it Wouldn’t have changed the outcome With this…
