Dak got carried by an offensive line and running game. He is struggling now.
Russel got carried by his defense his first few years and got to slowly develop into his own.
Jimmy G played 6 games, he's not proven yet.
Nick Foles is a back up who gets streaky.
Cousins is a good.
Dalton is largely mediocre.
Cassell is not a starter.
Lynch is incomplete-IO have stated this many time on this forum. This is taboo and DW to be chastised by my Cousins, but I would call Elway and trade for Paxton Lynch.
He injured his shoulder in pre-season 2016
He injured his ankle last year and got involved in Head Coach Vance Joseph's(a "D" coach) 2017 game of musical QB swapping. Elway admits he did not give Lynch a fair shot.
But besides Keenam, they spent $ on, they have Chad Kelly whom they seem to be happy with coming off of a college injury.
“That’s coaching and that’s the league,” Joseph said. “We have to give them time to develop and learn how to play the position. Now, some guys come in and they [can] play. It’s different. [Colts QB] Andrew [Luck] came in and he played. That’s a different guy. Some guys need more time.”
With Lynch it's been health and motivation, not the tools.
In 4 starts he has had a 61.7% completion record. In college he was over 62% and almost 9k yards in three years with 59 TDs and went from 10 Ints as a Frosh to only 4 in his Drafted Jr. year. His arm is better than Darnold , Mayfield and Rosen. His % is better than Allen and Jackson.
Check Steve Young's stats when he started taking over for Montana....awful. He turned out pretty good with playing time/snaps to take over for a HOF QB? He was picked up on the cheap in TRADE from Tampa Bay who gave up on him. Hmmmmm
Lynch is a former first rounder BB likes to salvage. I think Elway trades him. Could be a low cost/low risk , minimum gamble, good value move to put him with Josh for two years or so. He's only 25. This beats stretching for a top first rounder and he fits the Pats better than Jackson for sure.
The best part is he can be a "roster saver". If we Draft a kid we have to keep Hoyer on the roster. BB had just Jimmy G as the lone Brady back up a few years ago. Lynch has had NFL starts (4) and has won beating the Jags last year. Maybe BB keeps just two QBs? At the least he is competition if we Draft a mid round QB. At the best he is a trade chip.
