So let’s say Fitz decides either to retire or not to re-sign, which would suck IMO unless he decides to join the coaching staff, who would you want as backup and why? This can either be a FA of your choice or someone drafted.
Backup QB
- Thread starter mrbunglez
- Start date
First a couple of general assumptions.
Flo is almost assuredly going to want a veteran in the QB room. It would also make sense from the standpoint that should Tua go down, even for just a few games, we would want someone who could come in and "hold the fort" so to speak.
I'm going to go ahead, and rule out drafting a rd1 QB. Not that I would have an issue with doing so, I just don't believe there is much chance of it happening.
Here is a list of FA QBs, and it ain't pretty.

It has always made sense, to me at least, that you want your back up to have a similar skill set, so the offense doesn't have to make wholesale changes, philosophically.
McCoy? Dalton? Barcley?
The FA list is ..........underwhelming
Trubisky might be an interesting choice.

****, with that list we may as well as draft the backup and take our chances. That was ugly. If I had a choice then Trubitsky and still....ughFirst a couple of general assumptions.

We need better LB's
Carson Wentz sans contract
Wow that list kinda sucks. Guess that’s to be expected with backups. Maybe it’d be better just to stick with either Ruddock or Sinnett as backup.First a couple of general assumptions.

Tua
Starting QB = Dak
Starting QB = Dak
It wouldn't surprise me if it were Ruddock.
If the OC is an outside hire, it's likely his opinion will be heard, too.
Tyrod Taylor is a guy who makes sense imho. A veteran who has similar experience, not stats, to Fitz. Plus, he was Flo/Grier's 1st choice at QB last year. He would be inexpensive, but would be mobile to have offensive consistency. He is not known for his accuracy, but neither was Fitz.

Tyrod taylor isnt known for his accuracy? I guess he would be ok for a backup. He isnt going to lose you games like ray lucas, but he isnt a good qb lol.
Crash Jensen
You have your GOOD QB in TUA already!!
Taylor was the choice of this regime, but he went to LA. It is a logical fit, moreso than Ruddock or any other QB mentioned.
If you think Taylor is known for accuracy, it may be time to stop playing video games, ijs
. He would costs similar to Fitz for a few years, 2 to be exact, before Tua's contract explodes. Once Tua IS the guy, then put a Ruddock back there as backup QB.
