So which QBs would you take straight up over Trevor today? Personally I would go Burrow, Mahomes, Lamar and that's honestly it. Stroud would be a possibility but I need to see him play like this over a few years, not a rookie year which could be a fluke like Baker Mayfield's was. 

My point is, there really isn't much better out there. We have one of the top QBs in the league and should think ourselves lucky. All franchise QBs have bad games, we can't lay it all on them. Look at what is happening with Hurts at the moment. Plus I think Trevor's shoulder injury was bothering him and causing some inaccurate passes. Get him a better O line and another receiving target and I believe we go from missing the playoffs this year to a deep playoff run next season

Nice to meet you all by the way lol

1. Slightly unrelated but this needs to stop. This is my beef. The constant deflecting and defending a mediocre QB. MAYBE if Trevor throws a better ball, it's way more catchable. Dude was WIDE OPEN and TREVOR MISSED. NOT Ridlley, Ridley extended and BARELY got his fingertips on a ball that traveled 52+ air yards. That is a 1 in 100 catch that even if he made it likely loses it going to the ground. This is on the QB. 

2. I would take about 15 other QBs over him right now, purely to either reset the rookie QB timer or a pro that is flat out a better option. 

Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, or Bo Nix would be the top of the draft prospects I would look at to upgrade/keep the position the same but on the cheap vs paying Trevor 45 mil/yr. The kid from UNC looks intriguing as well, all 4 I would draft if they were there at 17 to push Trevor. 

Now, if let's say we woke up tomorrow and we were allowed to take any QB from a roster, but we had to give them Trevor. Here are the dudes that I would 100% trade him for.. 

Herbert
Hurts
Burrow
Tua 
Allen
Jackson
Dak
Purdy
Stroud
Mahomes

These are sure fire guys I would not hesitate to take. 


Guys like this would be stop gap or more interesting QBs I would have caution but wouldn't be overwhelmingly concerned. 

Cousins (stop gap)
Purdy (system guy?)
Love 
 
The reality is, and, some of you guys need a severe does of it, is Trevor is a fringe top 20 QB now. After the full body of work, and that absolute choke job at the end of this TEN game, tells me he is not it. Sure, super talented, maybe next year he turns it on... How many "maybe next year" does a generational talent need though? Eventually we have to see results right, before we hand him the bag AND keys to the franchise?

TLDR - I would take nearly 1/2 the league over Trevor and a handful of prospects over TL right now.
