Every last one you name was either a starter with good results or a should have been a starter behind truly elite guys and/or behind elite and/or first ballot Hofer's. None were unproven and none weren't starting material without question and pretty much proved it sometime along the line.
That's the whole point, they can be had, Plunkett played for bad New England teams, Kreig played for us and then was cut loose, Morrall was a long time player who was signed as a mentor and a favorite of Shula in Baltimore.
E.J. Manual has the skill set and was a starter in Buffalo, just a bad situation with coaches rotating and OC's rotating, Tannahill is in Miami and we don't need to look up how messed up that situation has been, there will be others made available but just using those as possible examples of starters that went or could go to back ups, hell look at Gabbert last year. Basically played his ass off and at least gave the 49ers some level of respect, would not be surprised if Foles once he clears waivers and is a legitimate F.A. gets looks as well.
Put it this way, I think there are players that could be had or are going to be available that can help us win, not the same way as with Wilson, but not throwing the towel in if Russell misses a game or two or something of that nature and can or could surprise us if it was longer.
