One other thing happened on the same day that AJ Brown was traded. A little transaction where the Super Bowl favorite in the NFC acquired one of the best pass rushers of all time.
A modest proposal for an article: interview a former back-up QB about what exactly they do and don't do during the season, and how he tried to follow Cousins's advice that you have to develop yourself. Running scout team isn't learning and executing an offence, it's giving the looks the DC wants of that week's opponent, then rinsing and repeating for the next 16+ weeks. QB3s rarely if ever get reps running their own team's offence. The idea that JJMC and the Gambler could simultaneously be "developing" seems impossible to execute.
Hopefully everyone on the roster stays healthy and out of handcuffs during the downtime.
