Next year, full off season scouting, full combine, full FA, full draft, full off season workouts, full ota, full training camp, full preseason, 2nd year franchise QB. 

All the "excuses" are in place. 

I think where they really messed up was keeping the coach who led them to the 1st overall pick once they decided they were going to use that pick on a QB. 1st overall QBs should really get a fresh slate HC unless a team traded up for that pick.

At that point if he fails again, that's two years in a row of failure, and now what do you do? You almost have to fire him, but now you are going to tell your 2nd year QB to learn a second offense in 2 years and that HC might not feel like it's "their" QB.

In fact, of the previous 5 QBs taken 1st overall (Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, Jared Goff, Jaemis Winston, Andrew Luck) three of those five teams didn't have a new HC when they drafted the QB. TWO of those retained HCs didn't even finish the QB's rookie season before being fired and the third got fired the offseason after the rookie season. Not a single one of the three had the same HC for the 2nd year.
