The most likely reality:
They both probably suck, they're both going to get snaps this season and prove that they suck, and neither of them will be Option #1 or even Option #1-B for the guy coaching this team in 2024, who will not be Todd Bowles nor any of the Arians fun bunch. Maybe, possibly, Trask will show enough to be the next guy's Mike Glennon or Josh Johnson for the next two years.
While there is a strong possibility that this occurs, I offer a counterpoint; I think that Evans and Godwin are good enough to elevate mediocre and/or inconsistent quarterback play. If they get their combined 15-20 targets a game, they will produce for whomever is slinging the rock.
I get the thinking. I do. It goes something like this:
"We were statistically a pretty good defense, and we improved in the draft."
"And on offense, Leftwich was terrible. With a new OC and a semi-competent quarterback, we can probably score enough to steal some wins if the defense plays well."
"Yeah, the division isn't great. Maybe we can scrape together 9 or 10 wins and win the division again!"
"And then something something Superbowl!"
(Pause for laughter)
(Still pausing)
(Still Laughing)
"Yeah, but seriously, they probably won't fire us if we can do that."
That's the thinking.
It's great for keeping bad coaches employed.
It's less great if you're a fan of the team.
