But my point is, according to the stats BJ had a great season in '99 and then a subpar year in 2000 which is why we released him. So in hindsight, yeah he could have been a great qb? Someone more knowledgeable about this can answer this better than me, but I guess my main point is, we let him go because he was coming off a bad year. Kirk's year, last game included, is far from a bad year. A bad year is RG3 2013/14, Beck/Grossman/McNabb 2010-2011, Jason Campbell multiple years, Patrick Ramsey/Mark Brunell every year not including 2005, any of the 2000-2005 years with what seems like 12 different qb's, any of the 92-98 years (admittedly before my time so feel free to correct me if I am wrong), etc.

That's a super fucking real alternative based off factual history. Much like a certain presidential candidate this "why not let him go" thing seems to be gaining traction despite an overwhelming mound of evidence as to why it shouldn't happen, least of all being the NFL typically has at least half the teams with uncertain qb solutions every single year. We give up Kirk, we go from the haves to have nots. We go from square 3, on a scale of 5, back to square 1.
