Or Tyrod Taylor, but he's always hurt.
You have to have a guy that's going to settle things down and keep the penalties to a minimum, get in and out of the huddle, be able to make the checks at the line of scrimmage, and all the little nuanced things that every quarterback has to do.
It's one of the reasons why they were going to go the route of either Geno Smith or Carson Wentz or somebody like that.
