Here’s where I’m coming from…
AOC is doing great. His numbers are right there with the top of the league after three starts. He’s new and will need time to develop, of course…. but he showed he can hang with a top three defense.
Benefits here, he’s cheap. We have a great rookie contract to spend cap money elsewhere to build up the team around him. Bolster the OLine, pump up the defense, this is the way.
Y’all are too high on AOC. He’s a better option than Jimmy G, that’s all he is (for now). Even then, I’d go as far as saying that the only reason he’s a better option than Jimmy G is because he has a more versatile arm and can actually throw downfield.
Let the kid finish out the season and we’ll see where assess his performance then. I haven’t seen anything special or promising from AOC. He definitely deserves a chance to finish out the season and prove me wrong and I hope he does. But based on what we’ve seen so far, there’s no way we’re getting anything done with him as the QB
