In the end Shanahan is 0-3 on his QB choices here. Not good any way you look at it.

Yes, with a more competent QB, the offense would have better.
But I think it's quite clear that their pickings were slim and would have been pretty big gambles in their own right, i.e AJ Feeley, Bulger, Leinart, TJax, Troy Smith. More likely than not, we'd be killing Shanahan if one of those guys were starting instead of Brecks.
