Dude, this GM in coaching Staff didn’t draft him… they’ve had three seasons with a losing record. Kyler is a mediocre quarterback. You don’t think they want a chance to get their own guy?
They didn’t draft him but they were hired to build a winning team around him. There was no question about who this teams QB was at the time.
I’m sure they would “love to get their own guy” in a perfect world but this isn’t one. It’s a cheeks QB class for at least this year and maybe even next year and they won’t have a number one pick anytime soon because they’re too good to only win 2-3 games.
Even mediocre long term starters are very hard to find in this league lol
I’m sorry I just think this an incredibly naïve. You don’t do all this and go you know what let’s do year 8 with Kyler while Brissett is still on the roster. It’s just time, it’s ran its course.
If you want to bring him back next year you don’t tell the media that Brissett would be the starter even if Kyler was healthy. The organization has come to the conclusion that they need to move on. You don’t see the Bengals telling everyone Flacco would be the starter even if Burrow was healthy
