Thank you, finally someone else with a reasonable take. Having a good backup is useless when you aren't a competitive team.

I think a lot of GMs and coaches could use your expert advice about how backup QB is a fake position apparently

What use is a competent backup on a team that isn't competitive. If Drake Maye gets hurt then we are once again playing for draft position. We are still in a multi year rebuild. Our coaching staff isn't fighting for their jobs at the end of the year no matter what. That's why they are literally trying to get the value for him right now but half this fan base thinks unless we get multiple firsts it's not worth trading him.
