This is just bizarre now. You are totally missing the point.

Have you ever heard the phrase "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" ?

The point being: a KNOWN good quarterback (Stidham) is a better thing to have than a quarterback who MAY be good (anyone else), because a QBs ability to make the transition from HS to college is a hard thing to predict (as is the CFB to NFL jump).

So, in a situation where we HAD to choose between taking Stidham any anyone else (which is a decision we don't even know we'd HAVE to make), the wise choice is Stidham, since we KNOW he made the HS to college transition with flying colors and we don't know if the others will.

He's also not playing football this year which is odd to me and a little worrisome

He's not playing football because he is waiting to see where Briles lands. I've already said I don't think he is a possibility for us because from all indications he is just waiting on Briles, but if he did want to come here, I'd take him in a heartbeat.
