Rivers is the clear top QB that for some reason or another just hasn't worked out, kind of like Romo. Doesn't mean he hasn't been excellent and we wouldn't have been infinitely better with him. Big Ben literally hasn't had a losing season in his entire career. Luck started his career with three straight 11 win seasons with one of the least talented teams in the league and also never had a losing season.

Have fun rebuilding every few years with your style. Teams that don't have one of those types of QBs do not sustain success. It's too hard to keep an entire team stocked when players get old, hurt, expensive, etc.

You like to give a QB 1 year.  Its rare a QB comes into the league as a rookie and light it up.  You would of gave up on some of the all time greats and drafted a QB the following year after not having a great rookie year.  I think Minshew has flashed and definitely played good enough to see what he can do next year with an offense built around him, some better coaching and better players around him.  If you dont think he's showed enough his rookie year I'm not exactly sure what your are looking for.  This team has a ton of other holes that need to be addressed instead of wasting a top 10 pick on another QB because Minshew didnt look like an All Pro his rookie year although he was easily one of the best and arguably the best rookie QB this year
