Well, keep looking John.

I just don't get the idea behind acquiring him...  its still a retread.  And he's solid...  I feel like with the right cast, and a good offense, he has Top 15 ability, but I worry about his execution in clutch moments, so my value on him would be like a 3rd or 4th, max.  He also struggles to stay healthy, which should also ding his trade value.   Niners are trippin.

As good as we have done in FA, If we don't come away without even a viable option for 2023, we failed the FA game.  Why?  We are NOT extending Darnold as the starter, not even if he actually plays decent this year.  As of right now, we have ZERO QBs for 2023.

Easy...draft a QB this year, right? WRONG.  There is a single play there...new QB comes in and is ready to go.  That works out how often?   Two of three scenarios says pigeon-holing with a QB this draft is setting us up for failure.  The kid isn't good or needs time to develop.  Again, data shows rookie QBs with success out of the gate is very limited.  Maybe Pickett can manage games for us by 2023, but many of these guys will take several years to develop.

Again, we need a veteran QB.

He isn’t going anywhere for that price. Part of the trade value of a player is the contract. A star player on a rookie contract is worth the most. Darnold had more value because of his contract. Jimmy G is coming off shoulder surgery and has a huge bloated contract. He’s worth like a 3rd round pick at the most. Someone might overpay but he shouldn’t be going anywhere for that price.

    • Trying to help those 3 folks who hate this move.    In 2025 2.75 million is basically the new "vet" minimum.    They still need #3 RB and returner, draft could/should be the lane for that.    There's no downside to this move, they could cut with little effect and replace with your chosen rookie.   
    • Is it though? Even looking at just this past year, DK played 3 more games and had 81 more yards than Higgins had, but he also did it on less catches, with DK averaging 15 yards per catch and Higgins with 12.5. Yes, Higgins had 10 TDs to DK's 5, but I'd say that was far less about the WRs than the QBs, seeing as Burrow had 43 TDs (and only 9 INTs) to Geno's 21 TDs (and 15 INTs).  Swap the two of them last year and DK puts up better stats with Burrow as his QB than Higgins did, no doubt about it in my mind. DK has also only missed 3 games in his career, Higgins has missed 5 in each of the last 2 seasons. People here complain about our WR speed (and it's many people's biggest issue with T-Mac in the draft), but Higgins ran a 4.59 40 and DK ran a 4.33. DK has only played one more season than Higgins but he has 1,730 yards and 14 TDs more than Higgins, despite playing with the ghost of Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, while Higgins has had Burrow. To me, there is no debate, DK is a significantly better WR than Higgins.  Give him Burrow as his QB during his career and his numbers would dwarf what Higgins has put up.
