I don't know how many more times I can say "the veteran can just be insurance in case Bagent bombs".HisRoyalSweetness wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 6:45 pmI for one would much rather stick with a developmental backup who has shown some good things than bring in a veteran with several years experience during which they've shown nothing of consequence. I'd sooner gamble on potential upside than run out a guy you already know has reached his ceiling and it isn't very high.Moriarty wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 12:54 pm Bagent's a great story. And he performed extremely well relative to college competition level, relative to draft position, relative to pro experience.
But when you stop grading on a curve, what have you got? He had 2/4 games where he moved the ball successfully (225 yds/game), but 2 where he didn't (162 y/g). Both games he got yards, he also had interception problems (2 + 3). 3/4 games had passer ratings in the 60s/70s. His best rated game was his first one. He was heavy on the dink and dunk and didn't successfully push downfield much.
There's some minor promise there. But even if he grows into a solid backup, that's not a lot of value. We saw what Pickett and Fields brought in return. He'd have to do a lot more and convince people he's got real starter potential to net you much.
But I do know how many times I'm going to...
