Got to agree with a lot of what Malabar said at 24. There's a lot of hindsight that skews this scenario. GMs generally don't put their chips in on one QB this year, and by next, push in on a different one. Last year's scene with AZ was a complete regime change, and they took a big loss to move on from the prior QB.

You could say we did the same thing - we paid Foles a buttload to be the fixture at the position for years, and ate a bunch of cap to move on once Minshew proved he could handle the starting role. That *might* suggest the FO likes their chances of getting a franchise QB through the draft, but I see it more as confidence in the guy they picked up last season not named Dobbs. For them to dump Foles AND spend early draft capital on a new QB would signal that they failed completely to address the position the year prior in any of the three moves they made, including the trade for Dobbs.

If someone falls, maybe the value is there. I don't see any of the top 3 QB dropping to us, and history has shown that teams that covet a top QB are willing to move to get them (heck, look at AZ two years ago!). I personally don't see Love as anything more than a Jacoby Brissett-level player, one who is good enough to start, get a few wins when expected, but you're not banking on a career of deep playoff runs, which is essentially what you can expect from Minshew already. If any move is made at QB, it will be to seek out a replacement for Dobbs, in my opinion. For all we know, though, the FO and coaches may like what he's got, and we stand pat.

And of course, two years down the road we'll have all the hindsight available to cry out about the misses we could have had in teal. I'll be happy to eat crow too, if this all ends up being wrong.
