No, mainly because Slye isn't on the team. They also gave McManus $1,500,000 guaranteed. Probably did so for a reason -

He'll be a free agent next season. Why even stay in Pittsburgh? If Wilson stinks (very possible) and Pittsburgh makes no other QB moves then maybe he has a chance to start. Otherwise, why not go elsewhere? -

I feel like something weird is going on in Pittsburgh. You don't really trade for Fields unless you want to play him. He'll be a free agent in a year, so you should play him. Partly to see how he meshes with your guys, but also to see if he develops at all. But, you just signed Russell Wilson. Do I think Wilson signed somewhere to be a back-up? He's fallen off, but there are teams out there needing QB play (Minnesota, Vegas, possibly Carolina, etc...). He's expecting to start. So then what? -

If your QB is valued league wide as a 5th round pick, you don't have a QB -

And Keim try to peddle that Smith was chasing a ring. Not in New York, son. -

I get Keim's logic here, and really this applies more to Smith than Wagner. But how many teams: (1) need a LT; (2) have the money to pay a LT; and (3) are still considered "contenders". I get the idea that a veteran would like to win, but unless you sign with Kansas City, the odds of "ring chasing" with virtually anyone other team aren't good. Sure, it could happen. But any individual team likely has less than a 5% chance of winning the Super Bowl if they're not named Kansas City. Maybe that's really important to a guy like Tyron Smith, but I suspect he still signs for good money somewhere. I still think, of all the positions this team needs, LT has to be right at the top of the free agent list. Because I don't think this team wants to screw that spot up with a rookie QB. And sure, while one might be able to draft an answer there, unless you aren't picking a QB at #2 (which seems very unlikely) then you have to hope that: (1) a good LT is just sitting there in the second round; (2) you like said player; (3) you don't like other players better at that spot; and (4) said player can start as a rookie from Day 1 at LT. All of which seems highly speculative and really can't be the only plan to fill what's ultimately a very important position for the QB to have filled properly. -

Now? It's been that way for 25-30 years -

Yeah, I'm not sure what "insert random back-up" can really bring that NONE of those other guys can bring. Like somehow Tyrod Taylor, Marcus Mariota, Drew Lock Teddy Bridgewater, Tyler Huntley or Brian Hoyer have some magic secret sauce that this team is just missing. -

By this logic, guys like Kyle Trask and Trey Lance should be just about ready. Why not get them? -

Other than the fact Washington isn't remotely close to the talent level of those Broncos/Bucs teams and Cousins isn't remotely near the level of Manning/Brady, I suppose it makes sense. I mean Cousins did win one game in the playoffs once to pull level with Tim Tebow. -

Just seems pointless. Are you not drafting a QB then? Or are you still drafting him and then sitting him? Just seems like a lose-lose situation. -

LT seems like a position they'd potentially look to sign a free agent. You want a competent OL for any QB, particularly a rookie, And its a tough position to fill no matter what. You MIGHT be able to draft someone good, but seems easier to sign someone now and see what happens in the draft. Though even middling options tend to be expensive and pickings are slim. So it's a seller's market. -
Probably the best examples on this list are guys like Brees, Palmer, and Vick. Problem is they came up in an era (20+ years ago) where rookies QBs usually sat, no matter who you were. Sure, you had occasional exceptions like Peyton Manning. And that practice started to change in the late 90s and really early 2000s. But you still had plenty of teams (or really coaches) that went "old school" back then. If was almost the norm. But sitting rookies hasn't been the norm for quite some time and really isn't representative of players and teams today. As for the other guys.... You might knock Bledsoe, but he's a former first overall pick, once QB'd the Patriots to a Super Bowl, and ended up starting 193 games in his career and is still 17th overall in passing yards in NFL history. So yeah, he didn't immediately lose his job to a 6th round pick (in the same era were rookies rarely started), but it didn't take very long. Mahomes did sit behind Alex Smith for a year. And Alex Smith wasn't a great QB. And he almost certainly was made to look better than he was by Andy Reid and the supporting cast. But two points. The Washington version of Alex Smith was way past his prime. QBs are normally at their peak in the late 20s, start to fall off a little at 31 and then a lot at 34. Alex Smither's first year in Washington was at age 34. And in Kansas City, Smith was a 4 year starter pre-Mahomes putting up records of 11-5, 9-7, 11-5, and most recently 12-4. You'd be hard pressed to find any coach willing to bench a guy like, even for a first round pick. Though it didn't take long for Mahomes to clearly show he was better. Not sure Kaepernick was really anything more than a flash in the pan. Obviously other issues led to him being out of the league, but his play had taken a huge downward turn after initial (and fairly brief) success. Rodgers was behind Favre, Rivers was behind Brees, and Bulger behind Warner, three HOFers. Romo played Division I-AA football and was undrafted. So they did bring him along more slowly. And Cousins, well people here should know his story. But I think the point it, unless you're going back 20+ years, highly picked QBs don't really sit unless there's someone pretty good in front of them. Maybe the best recent example would be someone like Trey Lance, though he was about as raw as a QB prospect can be.

You can add two more. While the coaching staff was nothing to write home about, three (Zampese, Jordan, and now Zgonina) have landed similar jobs. I'm expecting Eric Bieniemy to latch on in KC in some capacity. I suspect Nate Kaczor will land on his feet. And Pritchard, Engram, Kerrigan, and Toub all stayed. And then guys like Steve Russ, Cristian Garcia, or even guys like Travelle Wharton or Todd Storm could latch on somewhere.
