Blake or GM15.  I don't think thats bad but we probably wouldn't have been able to experience Minshew Mania if they decided to start Blake.  He's average too but doesnt get hurt.  That alone would have kept Minshew on the bench unless we started losing bad.  Still with this whole season, trading Ramsey and what not.  I would be happy with 2 first for 2 years and a QB in the first this coming year or next.  Only issue is, i doubt we would've been going through this whole resign thing with Yannick and Ramsey may still have been here so idk.  Still want a QB regardless this year in the first so it is what it is.

Besides, from what I saw of Fromm, I wouldn't draft him in the first round.  He's inaccurate.  The Florida-Georgia game was such a great example of the difference between college and pro ball.  Those guys were terrible.  Bad passes, bad decisions, mistakes everywhere.  

And we have no shot at drafting Tua.

Do you seriously want to throw away the guy who won rookie of the week 6 of the first 8 weeks?  To draft another QB who would be a total crap shoot whether he's a decent starter or a bust?  You're crazy.

No one is saying throw GM away.  Some are saying trade Foles for more picks to build around the QB of the future, whether thats GM or a 1st rd QB.  I think you're stuck on Foles staying here just to retire in a few years.
