You don't pick a kid you think is subpar just because you need a guy. That's not being 'scared' it's being smart.
I wish it were not the case, but there just wasn't a better option this offseason.

This all goes back to the nutty idea that drafting a first round QB maximizes your chance of winning a Super Bowl without any regard for the individual strengths and weaknesses of the QB prospect or the alternatives available through free agency, trade, or in later rounds of the draft.
Strangely enough though, they've abandoned this foundational principle in order to maintain support for the guy they focused their affection on now that he's turned into the type of non-first-round QB that they previously condemned. Cognitive dissonance.
