What will the Detroit Lions do about their quarterback depth in 2020?

Option 1: Stick with what they have
Why they could: Jeff Driskel and David Blough split games for the second half of the season, each with their moments here and there, but ultimately unsuccessful with zero wins between the two of them.
With experience under their belts now, the front office could decide that both young quarterbacks will benefit from their snaps in 2019 and improve enough with another year in the system to keep the team competitive if needed.
Drawbacks: Driskel struggled with accuracy (under 60 percent), pocket presence (took 11 sacks in three games) and has a skill set that would require retooling the whole offense to better suit his strengths (roll-outs, scrambling, designed QB runs).
The undrafted Blough had a great first half of the Thanksgiving game, but showed little beyond that to make a convincing argument of remaining. Blough threw 4th quarter interceptions in four of the five games he started.
Likelihood of this option: Very low. Going 0-8 with these guys and not making any moves to fix it would be completely inexcusable. If they’re going to keep one of them (as a 3rd stringer, not the next man up), Driskel gives them a slightly better chance in my mind.
