While I acknowledge he is not the Kelly-esque "long-term solution," I also recognize that he's better than a lot of QB's in this league, and definitely the best one on our roster. I'd go as far as saying he's one of the best QB's we've had during the 17-year drought. Now, again, is he going to take us to a SB? No. Is he enough to win games while we find the right one? Yes.
I'm just not a fan of the whole "Cut Tyrod and draft one!" mentality. What if the one we draft sucks? If it was as simple as just drafting a QB, everyone would have a good one, which we know just isn't the case in this league. I think we learned this with the Peterman experiment.
This is a parity-driven league. Aside from maybe 6-8 teams, NOBODY has a great quarterback. and 6-8 may be pushing it. I mean you have Brady, Rodgers, Wentz, then who? Do you still put Roethlisberger in that category? Dak Prescott? I guess you could throw Rivers in there. It's just what it is anymore - only a handful of great quarterbacks.
I think it's a case of trying to do the best you can with what you have.
