Moving on from Apple is a mistake. People thought we were done after the Browns loss and Chido's knee injury. We were down to Eli and a second round rookie. They both acquitted themselves well.
For the price he commands, Eli is found money. He's dependable enough to run out there every week in a loaded AFC quarterback field come playoff time. This team won 5 more playoff games with Apple as a starter than they did in 3 decades. He's definitely not the main reason for that, but he didn't prevent it, either.
Everyone upset about him being a shit-talker should also want Mike "Burrowhead" Hilton gone. Chase talked a ton of shit before the first KC game, too. I don't know why anyone cares about that kind of thing, and I guarantee most don't when the team is winning.
Turner is a 2nd round rookie and Jones is an injury-prone journeyman. At the start of the season, I'd much rather have a guy that's been manning the position for 2 years out there than those kinds of unknowns.
