Wentz or Darnold?

Well Ballard and Reich also think that so. Not that I want JB to be the starter, I definitely think he should be brought back to fill the role like Fitz did

As vet competition for a drafted rookie? Sure. Not in any other circumstance.

Brissett is a great back up. I don't dislike the guy, I think he is an excellent number two man, just not as a starter.

I don't think anyone is advocating for bringing him back as "the guy" going forward, more like a 1 year stopgap to allow a rookie to develop.

That is exactly what I'm worried about, a wasted year. Not sure what any QB can learn watching Brissett play. In the QB room, yes. On the field?

People didn't think we should trade the 13th for Buckner

People didn't think we should have signed Rivers

People didn't think we needed to draft a RB and they got JT

The list goes on and on, But if anyone is still doubting Ballard it's crazy. The guys hit rate is ridiculous.

Relax and let them do their thing. They know way more than we do.

But that isn’t fun. So no

It would not be a throw away season we have a good team and look around the division all we have to do is beat out the Titans

I am still thinking it is one of: Dalton, Trubisky or Newton on a 2-year, $18-20m contract to show us if they deserve a longer / more lucrative one, to see if Easton is ready or to find the next long term QB.

Would Brisket even want to come back? The dudes a free agent. He may get a better offer elsewhere.
