I guess I take your point, but I would rather have each and every one of those guys as our starter over Geno (some for different reasons... Ryan might be cooked, but if he's not, he's definitely better. Trubisky, Mills & Jones all still have the potential to be better than they currently are, and are generally at least as good as Geno now. The rest are just better than Geno, but with limited upside).
In my head, Geno is a low end backup and has no business starting. The only reason he wasn't panned for his week 1 performance was a few should have been turnovers that weren't and the fact that we won, in-spite of him.
I'm more or less with you on Geno.
But let's put it this way. If you could trade for any of those QBs. in which we give the other team Geno and we got back one of those guys, what would you be willing to give up?
For me the answer would be.... not much. While you may be right that some of them have more potential(although Trubisky and Jones have shown very little in their career to hold much hope).
Which is what it boils down to. It's why a lot of us were hoping that Lock would win the job since he would provide some sort of hope. But, alas, he appears no better and maybe worse.
