In the end whether the QB is elite, franchise or game manager, it's a team sport you need to surround whoever with talent....imo elite or franchise QBs can overcome an average roster, game managers can't.
To your lack of patience point...so why are we quick to dismiss Willis?
I think there’s 2 types of dismiss so far.
1 that says hes never going to be anything, get rid of him now.
1 that says he’s really shown to be crappy. Maybe another year or 2 on the practice squad to maybe show enough to earn backup or a starter position.
Right now, it’s not dismissive to say he’s too far behind the curve to use him as a starter.
Lawrence is clearly good enough to be a starter, but is still a far cry from showing he’s “elite” or even “franchise QB”. Time still has to tell that story. So far, he’s almost as good as Bortles.
We are quick to dismiss Willis because we've watched him play football. The guy sucks. Nothing there to be optimistic about.
Yet people that do pro football for a living disagree with you
Very few teams are lucky enough to get a Mahomes or Allen. Everyone else has to figure out how to win without one.
49rs are steamrolling with Mr Irrelevant, a rookie and literally the last guy picked in the entire draft. Time will tell how far he can get them. But with the right parts, Tanny is better than Mr Irrelevant and is our best option as of right now. Not saying Purdy won’t end up being great in the future. Maybe he will. But right now, today, Tanny is more experienced and a better all around QB. Tanny was the least of our problems this year.

Like who? The talking heads on TV? Do you think they're going to talk about how terrible he is on tv?
Jrob took a chance on him from his college tape...sure... But it's obvious watching him he's not cut out for the NFL.
You either have it or you don't. He's proven he doesn't have it. "Project" QBs don't work in the NFL.
Tannehill wasn't a very good QB this year... hopefully with upgrades at OL and WR he can help us improve overall ..but right now Purdy is playing like we wish Tannehill should have been playing like.
We'll see what this offseason brings...I'm cutting him some slack being on a team that was just as brutal on many levels.
30-40%? How do you figure?
Nearly every elite QB of last 20 years has at least 1 ring, aside from Rivers. And many of those with rings have at least 2 SB appearances.
QB is by and large the most important position. In all likelihood, you aren't sniffing the SB unless you have one of the top 10 QBs in the league.
Well, 6 / 15 is .40 or 40%.
As explained a little higher up, 6 of the last 15 SB winners were not “elite”.
The only QBs who are not, or haven't been elite (or top 10 anyways) to win the SB are Foles (who won it after Wentz had an MVP season to get them into the playoffs), Flacco, Dilfer, and Johnson. In fact since 1990 those are the only QBs that have won it while not being top 10 QBs. That's 32 years and only 4 QBs.
If you don't have a really good QB, the odds of winning the SB are extremely slim. It's why teams are falling over themselves trying to get a franchise QB. Teams don't give up 3 years worth of 1st round picks to move up and select a DE, CB, OT, or WR. Literally everyone realizes this.

Well he does own land in Nashville so it's a possibility
Who?
For what it's worth, Cowherd thinks Vrabel will push for us to trade for Rodgers. I don't really think so because his contract is beyond terrible the next few years with really no relief. It's gonna have to be a team with a ton of cap space like Atlanta, NYG, or Las Vegas to reunite with Adams.
What about Tom Brady, he'll be a FA. This year he didn't look great, maybe his personal issues were distracting? He could be decent with a improved OL, WR and OC.
National media is already calling for Tom Brady to the Titans next season
Because he doesnt even resemble an nfl qb. I think he became the first qb to not reach 100 yards in each of his 1st 3 starts. Runs around in circles in the backfield. So inenept they signed a career backul who never actually player to start their last 2 games with the last being “win and in” with a division foe. He may be relatively athletic but he isnt a nfl qb

rodger would be ok, but we would have to give him something to throw to, and we are pretty much destitute in that regard.
Hopefully that changes this offseason, surely AAS sees that...new OC, I'm hoping Joe Brady, changes that as well
If that’s how you are looking at it, fine.
But a very glaring neglect of 2015 Broncos. The actual worst season ever of QB play to win a SB. Worse than Dilfer/Banks Ravens.
Joe Brady would be great!
