Here's my Dumb Question of the Week:
What if you build your roster to accommodate a "dual threat" QB on his rookie contract?
Advantages:
1. These QB's can be found lower in the draft (Lamar Jackson drafted #32), or worn out vets near minimum (see Newton, Cam...yuck).
2. Avoid crippling franchise QB salaries. Can build stronger roster overall.
3. Buys you time to find a true franchise QB without burning multiple 1st round picks.
4. They typically have a short shelf life, so you jettison/trade before or at end of rookie contract and draft the next one.
This would be McDaniels wet dream scenario.
I think BB wants to show you can win w/o a high dollar "franchise QB" by shunting more assets into the defense, offensive line, and running game.
Am I high, or does this make a little bit of sense?
What would this roster look like?
TE-centric with a strong running game, quality 3rd down back, and assets/versatility on O-line?
I'll wait for you guru's that know much more than me to see if I'm talking out my butt.
