The whole list makes me want to vomit. I said Sam Howell just cause maybe he has some upside left as opposed to the rest.
 
Picked Jones just because he has a good arm is 27 and has more TD's than picks
Maybe he improves

I agree. Anyone that I am missing? Obviously Darnold is going to get paid and be a starter else where.
 
None of them are appealing but I picked Andy Dalton. A real veteran presence who still played pretty well for 4 or 5 weeks until it eventually imploded.

Not only that, he was clearly invested on the sideline cheering on Young late in the year when the Panthers had nothing to play for, a guy like that has some value.

I'd still pick a Day 2 or 3 QB to get in our system if the right one is available.
 
Went with Marcus Mariota as I think that’s as close as it gets to not needing to change too much when Tua is forced to miss games. Jimmy G fits the same mold but I don’t want 2 injury prone QBs.
 
Zach Wilson should be on this list. I didn’t bother voting because I think any number of these guys can work.

I wouldn’t touch Jimmy G with a 39 1/2 foot pole. You don’t back up injury-prone Tua with a guy who is arguably more injury-prone.
 
Justin Fields or Andy Dalton for me.

Dalton if you actually want to try to run our offense when Tua goes down.

Fields because I don’t have faith any backup can run this offense — might as well have someone athletic who can make things happen when every passing play inevitably breaks down.

What is our offense, though?

I don’t know anymore. Outside of quick throws to hide the incompetence of our offensive line.
 
Mariotta could probably run our offense, even if it's not nearly as well as Tua. Jimmy G also knows the system. I'd try for one of those two.
