[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1012680, member: 17987"] I guess my biggest fear with Love right now is not that he’s just an obvious total flop who will never amount to a serious pro. I don’t think that’s the case. But I do worry that he will end up falling in that in-between zone of “just okay” where he’s not really good enough to win you anything of consequence without some major help but isn’t bad enough to just immediately move on from. The reality of it is that there are a lot of “just okay” QBs in the league and their teams probably aren’t going to compete for much until they move on, but they keep that player around because the alternative could always be worse. And I think many teams more or less take the approach that it’s better to be an average to above-average team (maybe make the playoffs, maybe win a playoff game, not much more) than it is to risk shaking things up and making it worse. As mentioned before I think that’s how you get cases like the giants paying Daniel jones huge money. I very much doubt he ever has them competing for silverware but the fear of “it could be worse” will likely keep him around for a while. And that’s pretty much what I’m afraid of. Not that he’ll be terrible but just good enough to stay around and convince ourselves that if we build the team around him well and get all the right pieces together and everyone develops nicely then he’ll be enough. But I think the unfortunate reality is that these cases rarely ever work out in that way… [/QUOTE]
