I'm guilty as charged of writing him off because of the Jets.
The more I look at him, though, the more I like this. I hated the idea of starting over with a rookie QB. Almost automatically would put us a couple years from contention at least. But we get a QB that's the age of a rookie, but with those first awkward years behind him. I still think there will be growing pains because of the move to a new team, but looks like a ton of possible potential.
I had previously thought of this as a sideways move; that he was basically the same as Bridgewater. But I think now that it's an immediate (slight) upgrade with a possibly spectacular upside down the road.
