Allen started 11 games as a rookie. Brock Purdy was a 7th round pick and looked just fine starting by the end of the season as a rookie. If sitting a year is the magic formula shouldn’t someone trade for Trey Lance.

Not only that, but you don’t give out 100 million guaranteed to a bridge qb. You go sign Minshew or Brissett or even Winston to maybe start a year at a much much lower cost.

Hell they would look like geniuses if they traded for Fields who went for almost nothing for a year with Penix in the wings. You get the best of both worlds. See if Fields is actually good and Penix sits and learns for a year. Then they can move forward with him, trade him, or let him roll out and maybe get a high comp pick if he does good. If he sucks, you move on with Penix after a year. And yiu know how their fans love black qbs. And he’s from there.

They had to know Penix would be there at 8. They totally shite the bed.
