re: How must Brennan, Narcisse and McMillan feel these days?

I just wonder how a coach walks things back if this Burrow deal doesn't come to fruition.

How do you get these guys ready to play hard for you when you're telling them they're not good enough?

Why does that have to be what he is saying? Could it not also be that he is saying he doesn't trust that he will have enough bodies in the QB room come the fall and if he has a chance to go out and get a top talent to come into that room, then he should take it?

What he should say to them is, "I know none of you will promise me that you are 100% committed to this team and will not seek a transfer yourself; therefore, I'm bringing in another person in case that happens. And if all of you are as confident in yourselves and your ability as you should be, then adding a little more competition to the room shouldn't feel like a threat, but more of a challenge to you to show just how great you can be and how much you want to lead this team."

Do y'all think that the 3 QB's on the roster should have to tell O that they are 100% sticking with the team and will not transfer if and when it becomes apparent they will not be the starter? Most on here (if being rationale) would say that a player should be free to leave if he so chooses. And with the way QB's transfer at the drop of a hat these days, then O would be taking a huge risk by putting the team in a situation of not having some insurance in the form of accepting a transfer QB to replace any potential defections. And if he didn't, many on here (including in this thread) would be quick to criticize and jump on him for poor roster management.
