Andy Reid on Mike & Mike: "Alex is our quarterback by the way"

Now, we're developing this 'well if Alex is mediocre. Why not be mediocre for cheap?' Just go out and round up journeymen and find someone who isn't too big a **** up who will play for peanuts.

These seem to be completely inapposite positions, sharing only the DNA of being tired of not having a QB carousel of home grown candidates.

Why do you believe them to be mutually exclusive in a cap league? Of course they're related.

Option A) Get baller-ass QB, increase your margin for error when your team plays a C- game so you can survive and advance in the hopes that the next game is at least a B+ game.

Option B) Get game-manager QB at cheaper price, allocate funds to the rest of the roster to at least improve the odds of having a B- game and being good enough to survive.

They're not inapposite; they're alternative pleadings - I prefer A but if I can't have A, let's try B.

Doesn't seem that complicated to me.
