Not if you think Darnold is a Dude.

Because if he is, he can be a top 10 QB for a decade - he's only 27. And it's not often you get a shot at grabbing one of those guys.

Lets not forget that Brees didn't win the championship in NOLA until his 4th season. They were 3-13 when he ended up in FA through strange happenstance (the combination of his injury, late breakout and Rivers presence). He immediately made them better but they weren't championship ready yet.

Had they decided "Well we're not ready to win the big one so lets not get him" their whole history changes.

They saw a chance to get a younger veteran QB they thought could be a franchise guy and they took it when they could. Then got work building around him.
