I understand the statement perfectly…. I understand the premise as well. I just don’t buy it. We have a rookie QB to develop as a backup. And the “less is more Taysom crowd” has a math issue I can’t fix.
Make the rook your game day QB2 and let Taysom get his 10 snaps at QB per game. Let your best players play. The “he may get hurt and thus can’t be your backup talk” is brain fodder mental gymnastics to justify keeping JW on the team. And is also hilarious.
I’m fine with JW being on the team this year as a “we ain’t got nobody left” option. But at no point do I want him taking real game day snaps. Next year Jake needs to be the QB2 and JW needs to find a new team.
If someone is desperate enough to trade us anything for him this year…. Take it. Laugh. And start the plan to move Jake up early. JW is not coming in to save a season anyway. We’d be better off seeing if we have anything in the kid.
