So much this. Kaep's play didn't fall off the cliff until the 49ers blew up the team. Even the much maligned Sam Bradford looks like a decent player once he got himself into a reasonable situation.
I think Brady and Manning have spoiled fans and they now expect any "good" QB to perpetually be able to drag rosters filled with middling talent to 10+ win seasons and deep playoff runs. For everyone but the GOATs being surrounded with nothing but replacement level players is a recipe for disaster.
As a player he's certainly not without his warts, but he'd be an instant upgrade at QB for at least a few teams, like Jacksonville, which are dark horses to playoff.
