So then what are you looking for? A QB who can give you a chance to win the super bowl every single year? In recent history that is basically Brady, Manning, and Mahomes. That's three guys in the last 20 years and two of them were first round picks.I see it differently, at this point in the franchise's arc : I don't care about the playoffs... I want the team to be champ or work towards being champs. There are plenty of those 14 teams that, while in the playoffs, aren't that close. I "get it" : give yourself a chance etc... but there are some of those "top 32 QBs" that are glorified placeholders/make-the-playoff-but-nothing-else types. No thanks.
If NE is shut out of the playoffs until 2026 - then I might reassess what I'm looking for in a QB. For today, "making the playoffs" isn't nearly enough.
(EDIT : Wentz doesn't get PHI to the 2017 season SB even if healthy, imo...)
Even of the 11 of 14 this year you can argue that Trubisky is a place holder and maybe Rivers but Rivers was a franchise guy for 15 years. Outside of that the other 9 are entrenched QB's on their team.
As for Wentz he was probably the MVP before he hurt his knee. I think you're letting recency bias skew your view of his 2017 season.
