QB Quandary: 2024 Draft, FA Stopgap, or Stand Pat?

If you're a gambling man, keep Bryce at QB because he will help us tank without even trying to tank. With that no. 1 pick, we go for a QB in the draft and hope he pans out. Quite a gamble. 

Or... 

We can hire outside scouts and evaluators to find good QB prospects in the upcoming draft and pick that diamond in the rough. No more of that S2 cognition test and table manners poo. Then come training camp, hold a genuine QB competition for the starting job, which will result in Bryce being relegated the backup or third stringer on the depth chart. We ride with the new QB come hell and high water while our FO begins a multi-year rebuild to find better pieces to fit the new scheme and playbook. It'll be a grind, but it is what it is. We've dug a deep hole by passing on Stroud for noodle armed midget, and it'll take patience and time to climb out of it.

Young was basically the same. We were just hoping his physical limitations wouldn’t sink him and it looks like they did and his super processor, which Gaulden definitely didn’t have, couldn’t overcome the noodle arm and this eye level:
