I think that's how you gotta look at this, if you're trying to be constructively hopeful, as well as also realistic and not delusional, given the dire circumstances we're in.
Think of like, when Golson was suspended, and all of a sudden Rees was the starter yet again, when at that point it looked like he would finish his career off on the bench, just like Pyne figured he was going to with Buchner taking over.
And I think we went 8-4 that year! And Rees put up some decent numbers. No reason Pyne can't be a totally functional QB, for his part of it at least..... The rest of the team and the offense and whatnot, that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish...
