Fair.
We do keep coming back to the exception that proves the rule in order to remain optimistic on the QB projections.
Trubisky needs a veteran turnaround so dramatic that the comp most people come up with (Warner) is so astounding that they made movies about it.
Pickett needs to replicate the rise of Burrow. A player that almost universally discussed as an unprecedented developmental path.
It makes it hard to clearly see these really rare and narrow comparative success stories being repeated.
Only 3 days but it would be a huge shocker at this point if Pickett is the starter in week 1 unless that Mitch and Mason are out because of injuries
Every stat need context...I just checked the stats of Trusbisky against playoffs team and he was 4-10 and 2 of his wins was against the vikings in 2019 when the first win,he was injured early in the game after only 3 pass attempts and the other game was week 17 when the vikings had rested their starter.... In the other playoffs teams, he was 2-10 against the playoffs team.One of his 2 wins was against the rams in 2018 when he was 16-30 for 110 yards,1 TD and 3 INT!

It is typical that early on in TC the vets look much better than the rookies and new guys to the system. Happens every year. I wouldn't give up on a struggling KP any more than put a ton of hope in MR/MT just yet. I'm not a believer in Rudolph but I will give him the opportunity to prove himself one way or the other. For me it's about what makes the team better always.
Apparently, Oladokun has had zero reps at TC so far. Just to show how early into the process this is at this point. Fun to talk about and speculate, but keep it fluid. At least for now.

Also, I didn't read the article but I read a headline that stated TJ Watt is pretty much ruining the practices for the offense. As expected I guess. The beast has come to feast.

Jim Plunkett was another QB that struggled early in his career, then became a HOF caliber player later into his career.

Jimmy G was the backup of Tom Brady for almost 4 years.Schaub was the backup of Michael Vick during 3 years
I'm talking about QBs who had a real chance to play one season or more and they were below average, so much they were benched by their coach for a few games or longer and then they became good for at least a good period of time in their next opportunity(I don't count players like Nick Foles or Case Keenum,that it was only for one season or a playoff run)
Alex Smith is the most recent example
Schaub had two seasons where he was injured off and on with Houston and then went on a nice tear where he was a 4000 yards passer consistently. He’s exactly what you are talking about.
Jimmy ag had some starts but if he doesn’t fit your criteria, sure knock him off the list. There’s still a lot of names on there.
Never mind!
I'm just going to hope that our starting QB is going to be at least decent this year!

Unless they want to tank for a draft pick like crazy!

This is also true that the O-line is not good who don't help the QBs(to be fair this is against maybe the best pass rush in the NFL but they will have no chance if our o-line is bad in real game)
