The small challenge with that is that he hasn't shown the quick reading ability in all his years in the NFL. Very few QBs have that, and Brees was one of them. The quick reading negates somewhat a below par OL. In the absence of a proper OL which not many teams have these days, the need to an RPO type is a bit more glaring, if nothing other than the ability to create more time to make a play. The challenge with the latter is that the injury bug will definitively bite the QB position by the simple nature of a mobile QB. We've seen it too many times and continue to see it. Mahomes is hobbling around now and is doing the best he can.

I think we've come full circle and need to beef up the OL and go back to a QB that reads like a Brees or Tom Brady. But good luck finding that gem. Tom Brady aptly described the current state of NFL football as average, and he's right; What's the average NFL record these days? We're in an age of the Lamar Jacksons. LSU's JD5 is a similar QB. But he ain't a fast reader either. Whiner got lucky with QB Purdy. We need to find out if "Pretty Boy" Haener can be a similar QB. But we won't with this coaching staff this year, unfortunately. The Raiders' starting QB was drafted right after Jake Haener and is winning games. Of course the Raiders did make a move at HC too. Their move shows as the [B][/B]team appears more motivated.
