I assume they will draft a QB, probably not one from OSU , and let Heinecke and Fitzpatrick compete for the starting job. That essentially means punting on next season, or hoping defense and running game can again get them into the playoffs.
We just went 7-9 with Haskins (1-5 in his starts) and a one legged Alex Smith. Our defense, while ranked high, had a bunch of makeshift pieces in the back seven aside from Kendall Fuller. 2020 Fitzpatrick could get this team to the playoffs.
16 full games of not Haskins at QB will be a huge improvement. I'm interested to see how they replace Ronald Darby. There needs to be a ton of work at linebacker.
