Here’s where I’m coming from…

AOC is doing great. His numbers are right there with the top of the league after three starts. He’s new and will need time to develop, of course…. but he showed he can hang with a top three defense.

Benefits here, he’s cheap. We have a great rookie contract to spend cap money elsewhere to build up the team around him. Bolster the OLine, pump up the defense, this is the way.

He's the future...of 2023 at least. I agree rookie QB contracts are the way to go, but I have a feeling this team will play themselves out of a top 10 pick and push them way out of the range for your top tier QB's.

Caleb Williams and Drake Maye will be the top picks. This then leaves you with the next tiers:

-Bo Nix

-Michael Penix Jr.

-Riley Leonard

-J.J. McCarthy

-Jayden Daniels

-Quinn Ewers

Those are late 1st-2nd round guys. Do you roll with AOC or take a rookie? The Free Agent/Trade market is less than ideal. For me, the only guys worth considering via trade would be:

-Kyler Murray (the contract is bad)

-Justin Fields

All of this is contingent on how this season goes, and if we keep the current GM and coach.
