We need to accept this fact...lotta folks on this board need too.

So you'd want to star over with a new QB next year, even if we make the playoffs?

I can understand if the team just falls off the cliff, but that hasn't happened.

Think about this:
- The core of the current defense is likely to come back next year.
- Guice will come back next year.
- You can get better receivers next year through the draft or see how some of the current young receivers work out.
- You can draft a project QB and see what happens.

I just don't think any FA QB can come in and be successful, as people want it, right away.

Granted, this could all change if Alex decides to hang it up.

Yes even if we make the playoffs i don't want CM as QB1 going into next season.

Why are so many NFL fans expecting QB's to play lights out or you want them cut? There aren't 32 "lights-out" QB's available. That's just the reality of football. We have a strong defense that could carry a team, a potentially strong 2019 running game, and some talent at WR. You don't have to have an elite QB to go far. I love watching Brady and Rodgers etc. but I'd rather improve the team and have a Colt McCoy just doing his job than be where Green Bay is with an elite QB but no team around him. This isn't a panic time yet. I have no worries with Colt at QB as long as we have a long term plan in place like bringing in or drafting a new QB of the future. To be honest, this is exactly where I wanted to be at the start of '17. Should've traded Cousins for a #1 and let Colt play last year and draft a QB for '18.
