It’s not about Dak though it’s more so lacking faith this front office can find another guy when they’ve failed nearly every time. If McClay was making the decision I’d have a little comfort. But if it’s the guy that wanted Paxton Lynch and Johnny Football? Or the one who let Clint Stoerner, Quincy Carter and Ryan Leaf start for him? A little less comforting.
I'm all with you on lacking faith in the front office, just for different reasons. I also agree that this really isn't a Dak issue at the core, but that's why I'm OK with moving on too.
I've never really understood the Johnny Football or Paxton Lynch stories though.... Do we continue to ridicule Andy Reed for wanting to trade up for Paxton Lynch? I'm sure that Jerry wanted to draft Andrew Luck and Joe Burrow too, but was never in position to get those guys. Why do we care more about the players they didn't draft rather than the ones they did?
The post Aikman era was embarrassing, but this is a different era. I think it's significantly easier to find at least adequate QB play and win with subpar talent at QB. SF is a prime example IMO. Nothing against Brock Purdy but I don't view him as an elite QB, he's a solid player with a great team around him. Great teams tend to be able to make the post season with bad QBs. Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Tampa all made it last year. I'd even argue the Lions are a great example with Goff as his career was basically on life support that first year in Detroit, but he's a top guy now that they've improved that roster.
