Your search for a QB has taken a turn. Suddenly, you find yourself wearing a cocktail dress, and dancing seductively for Reggie McKenzie. One thing leads to another, and you spend the whole night as a courtesan entertaining your sultan master. There’s some spanking, and one awkward moment where you scald your testicles on candle wax. The next morning, you lie naked bed with your fiancée, and Reggie McKenzie, smoking a post-coital cigar (wait, is that a cigar?). Reggie turns to you, and confesses: That he is NOT Reggie McKenzie. He’s just some random black dude, living in Oakland, that your racist fiancée thought was Reggie McKenzie.

There's no doubt that you've spent A TON on Kirk Cousins, but he does firmly fill the hole at QB for you. Owner Jed York's happy with the decision, and Coach Shanahan loves having a QB that he can trust his offense with from Day 1. He should be able to spike your win total immediately, which should make that 2018 1st rounder you lost a higher pick than the Redskins realized.
Shanahan and co. aren't thrilled with your backup depth chart, though. On their own, Chad Kelly and Antonio Pipkin would be great upside projects to develop, but developing them both at the same time will present a challenge. To make matters worse, you don't have a single quarterback on your roster ready to step in for Cousins if he gets injured.
Overall, analysts like your Cousins gambit, but feel like you didn't provide him enough protection.

Congratulations, you have fulfilled your mandated and filled your depth chart:

2) Deshaun Watson
3) Christian Ponder
FA money spent: $15 million
Draft picks spent: R1 (#2 overall)
You've invested a lot in this QB position -- luring over an expensive (future backup) like Brian Hoyer, and drafting Deshaun Watson at #2.
All that said, people in the building feel like the investments were more than worth it! There's no doubt that your legacy will sink or swim with Watson, but you've set him up in a great position to succeed here. Both Hoyer and 3rd string Christian Ponder have starting experience, and can hold down the fort as long as Watson needs to get ready. Those vets won't need major reps (especially given Hoyer's familiarity with Shanahan), which should allow your coaching staff to devote as much time as they need toward Watson's growth.
You've done an excellent job nailing down your depth chart. Some day, you may watch with pride, as the NFL hands over the "Executive of the Year" trophy to -- John Lynch.

There's no doubt that you invested HEAVILY in Kirk Cousins, which will hurt your ability to build up the rest of the roster. However, coach Kyle Shanahan feels confident that he can patch together the rest of an offense with spare parts and get this team moving the ball again. Between Cousins, Carlos Hyde and Joe Staley, you'll have a solid offense here. If you inch closer to .500 or so, giving up that 2018 1st rounder won't sting so badly.
Analysts and local media also like what you've done with the rest of the depth chart. Christian Ponder may not be an exciting name, but he's a competent backup who can fill in if Cousins gets hurt. And Chad Kelly is in an ideal situation here to develop. He has two smart veterans in front of him who won't need much coaching; your staff can put in extra time getting him up to speed. And who knows -- if Kelly keeps his nose clean and thrives -- maybe you can parlay him into a high pick in the future. Well done.
grade: A-
I am a big believer in Cousins given his familiarity with what Shanahan will want to run. Plus with a veteran backup, I can take the risk for the high up/high risk draft pick. If Chad Kelly is a bust, doesn't matter.
Plus with how hard it is to get a franchise QB, no price is too high. It is the unproven rookies that is worrisome.
If you promise me a better than 2 to 1 TD to INT ratio and a completion % around 67%, I am taking that.

Congratulations, you have fulfilled your mandated and filled your depth chart:
1) Brian Hoyer
2) Mitch Trubisky
3) Christian Ponder
FA money spent: $15 million
Draft picks spent: R1 (#2 overall)
Your mandate was to fill out a depth chart at QB and you tackled that challenge aggressively on both fronts -- luring over an expensive (future backup) like Brian Hoyer, and drafting Mitch Trubisky at #2.
That combination makes a lot of sense. As a one-year starter, Trubisky will need some time to develop (or at least, need some veterans in the locker room helping him learn the playbook.) He couldn't ask for a better mentor than Brian Hoyer, who has starting experience, and knowledge of the Shanahan system. Hoyer can start for a year, if necessary, until he hands over the reins to Trubisky.
Having Christian Ponder as your 3rd stringer represents extra protection on that front. If Hoyer gets hurt (as he's prone to do), Ponder can replace him as your stopgap/bridge QB.
Overall, your fate will be determined by Trubisky's success, but you've set him up well here. Nice work!

It's a new era in San Francisco -- Deshaun Watson has been anointed the starter from Day One. Matt Barkley may provide some semblance of competition in camp, but it's clear that you and the coaches are rooting for Watson to win out. That may work, because Watson's an experienced rookie, with three years of starting under his belt. He's sure to have some growing pains, but you're throwing him feet first to the fire and hoping he can survive. Given the rookie starting, your backups make sense. Both Matt Barkley and Christian Ponder may be limited, but they're smart QBs with starting experience under their belts. Neither one will require much coaching, which should put all attention on Watson. There's no guarantee that he'll work out, but you've put him in a good situation here. grade: B+

You've attacked your QB depth chart with aggression, landing a FA like Brian Hoyer and using the #2 pick on Deshaun Watson.
Given the importance of the position: it makes all the sense in the world. Hoyer represents the ideal bridge quarterback: he can still play well, and wouldn't need many practice reps, given his experience with Kyle Shanahan in the past.
Meanwhile, your coaches can spend all their time getting new franchise QB Deshaun Watson up to speed. Given his 3 years of experience in college, it shouldn't be too long before he takes the reins. The only issue here is whether Brian Hoyer would be okay with it, given the fact that he signed a new contract with you and may be relegated to the sidelines quite early.
But at the end of the day, you need to worry about results, not feelings. Hoyer + Watson is an excellent combination, with young Antonio Pipkin waiting around the practice squad for his own shot down the road. You've stacked this depth chart and it should pay off for you.

You tell coach Kyle Shanahan that you have your own plan at QB, and can't restrict yourself with any mandates or quotas.
He respects your determination and confidence, shakes your hand, and then fires you.
He reminds you that there's a reason that jabronis like you and John Lynch were hired in the first place -- to do what HE says.
Security escorts you out. On the car ride home, you hear a press conference from the new advisor who's going to replace you: Mike Shanahan.
You come home to an empty apartment. Your fiancee heard the news and decided to leave you. She has a lifestyle to maintain, and she can't afford to waste time with an unemployed arse. She has a hot date tonight -- with Mike

Congratulations, you have fulfilled your mandated and filled your depth chart:
1) Deshaun Watson
2) Landry Jones
3) Antonio Pipkin
FA money spent: $9 million
Draft picks spent: R1 (#2 overall)
Your QB depth chart basically amounts to a starting job for Deshaun Watson, as Landry Jones isn't a big enough name to hold off a #2 pick.
That may work out -- as Watson's an experienced 3-year starter with the confidence and swagger to survive some early season troubles. Ideally, you'd like him to have a better veteran mentor in that locker room, as Landry Jones is still untested himself. In fact, Landry Jones may be annoyed to be here -- he came to SF to compete for a job, not play caddy for the franchise's golden boy.
Adding to that, Antonio Pipkin is the kind of raw QB that will need his own coaching -- and may not get it with the coaching staff focused on Watson.
You're throwing Watson to the wolves, without much help. This could backfire.
