Unfortunately (and with all due respect to them) I don't see any of the backups being the answer. McKee will eventually be. At least I hope he will.
I don't know whether KJ stays or not, but if he does there should be an open competition for the job in spring camp and in August. Mills isn't all that - he threw 2 INTs in each of his last two starts and all were bad decisions/bad reads where he was locked onto a receiver for too long. Not that KJ is any better at not locking onto a receiver, and his favorite target is all but certain to leave early.
If KJ still aspires to play in the NFL he would almost certainly come back. But he's been pretty banged up the last two years and I have to wonder about his durability too and whether those injuries have taken a toll on his playing ability.
