Looking at FA for the all-important backup QB position

[mandal24]

Disclaimer: We certainly could get our backup through the draft but I'd rather go OL(!!)/EDGE/DL/S heavy in this draft and give Tua one more shot with a (hopefully) more competent OL

Huntley had us excited for 1 game against the abysmal Browns and unfortunately showed us who he really is vs the Jets. And I never want to hear Skylar's name spoken again within this organization..or Tim Boyle...or Mike White.

With Tua likely to miss multiple games next year just based on historical realities, let's see who we could sign

I'd also add Kirk Cousins who will be cut and come in super cheap and Aaron Rodgers who the Jets could part ways with

Out of this group, I'd be "interested" in order ( remember, these are backups )

1)Rush (will probably be the most expensive of this list?)
2)Flacco (best pure passer, don't know how he'd fare behind a bad OL)
3)Fields (would bring some excitement)
4)Rodgers (he's annoying but in 2 or 3 games, he could be valuable)
5)Cousins (old and slow but could be valuable in 2 or 3 games, cheap)
6)Dalton (see Cousins)
7)Winston (lots of TDs, and yards.. but also lots of INTs)
8)Dobbs (i like his mobility)
9)Wilson (moonball lol.. we're getting desperate at this point)

ugh, but pretty ez to get better in this area. Maybe Z Wilson. he sucked in NY but even AR did unless he played us

My concern is that he was 3rd on the Broncos depth chart behind Stidham. Payton seems to know QBs

Cousins is the best poker player in the NFL. Made hundreds of millions based on stats. What has he WON? He would want 15 million minimum. Steps down in big games. Flacco is the only one I’d want, especially at what would be super fair dinkum for his talent.. reasonable cost. I don’t believe guys like Rodgers are realistic. He’ll want to start. For 28 million. I’d rather use one of the compensatory 3rd rounders.

Listening to Kyle Krebs today and he had a going point IMO. Don't draft a developmental QB. The class isn't great this year, doesn't mean one or two wont pan out, but how much time will they get to develop on a team where the coach and GM are more than likely in the hot seat.

He brought up the idea of signing two vets. One that is the backup, he likes Dalton, I'm not a huge Dalton fan. I like Mariota as a back up to Tua, I have since he was not a starter anymore.

I also like the thought of signing a Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, or even Justin Fields. Yes they need reps, but they have all been in the league and they would be better if called on than a guy out of college that isn't getting the reps. You never know, one of those guys could turn into the next Darnold or Mayfield. These guys are only 25-26 years old, still a lot of football left in them if the light clicks on. They all three have the skill set, just haven't put it together.

I honestly think the odds of any of those guys doing better than a 2nd-3rd round rookie are pretty much even... While the rookie will cost significantly less.

 

[VAFinsfan72]

Thats not a great list.

Jimmy G is another possibility. He has some history with McDaniel and our offense.

Flacco might be a good possibility. He might have one more decent year left in him.

Dalton is who I wanted when we signed Mike White instead.

Cousins and Winston worry me with all the picks they recently threw.

Dobbs looked decent initially with the Vikings last year but then he got progressively worse the more playing time he got which caused him to get benched.

Rodgers isn't coming here to be Tua's backup.

Russ Wilson's future with the Steelers might depend on tomorrows game.

I don't think Fields would be a fit for this offense.

Mariotta and Zach Wilson could be other options.

Wilkins essentially gives us a free 4th rounder right?

Draft ANYBODY as in ANY QB BODY with that free 4th.

Why do you all want to keep on doing this ring around the rosie with QBs that have proven their value in the NFL?

Is there someone out there or some website that can do/has done the math/statistics on a team becoming a perennial Super Bowl contender with a QB that needs replacing a couple of times a year by a veteran that can hold the team in reserve at least .500 as opposed to finding the next Brady or Purdy?

WTF are you people thinking?

So let me get this straight: Tua goes ape-shiet next year, we go 7-1. Then we have to hope for a Cousins or a Flacco to come in and at least go 2-2.

9-3. “I’m with you so far, Marino13. What’s the problem?”

So YOU GUYS’ plan is to plan for the STARTER AAAAANNNNDDDDD his BACK-UP for as long as Tua’s career shall live?

That’s the fokin plan?

Bro, you idi… :deep inhale: …you all deserve the bonehead team you have.

What kind of a plan is that?

DRAFT A MOTHERFOKIN QB & AT LEAST HAVE THE BALLS TO HOPE/WISH/BEG/BESEECH HE IS THE NEXT MOTHERFOKIN BROCK PURDY OR TOM BRADY OR MARK FOKIN BRUNELL FOR CHRIST’s SAKE.

You want to sit around Al Bundy hand in pants on Sunday & go, “Woo! Here comes Flacco, Peg. You really gotta look out for this guy…”

You are all sad, pathetic fans. You’ve been given exactly what you’ve demanded of the universe. So stop blaming Ross.

Fok me silly. DRAFT SOMETHING THAT MAY HAVE PROMISE… don’t march out another “I promise you, it doesn’t get better than what you have already seen.”

“And dare to hit the lotto, Marino13zach54?. Not us. We’re Miami Dolphins fans. We exult in mediocrity.”

That’s what I wish upon all you sad sack’s gravestones; “Here lies John ‘Content With Mediocrity’ Doe- A REAL Phins fan.”.

You had me with Al Bundy. You would have really had me with Kelly Bundy. Could have saved a lot of typing.

hey, you're talking to the guy who is willing to trade the farm for Cam Ward I'd do terrible things to have Ward as our QB.

I dont like anyone else in this draft until maybe Kyle McCord later in the draft

I was thinking of Jimmy G but then I remembered that he's always hurt. lol can't take that gamble

Really bad QB class IMO. I dont see much

We can't take a gamble. We need a PROVEN QB when Tua inevitably (I obviously hope he doesnt) get hurt. It's gotta be a Flacco-like guy who we know can come in keep the offense humming

Ask yourself this question. If Ward and Sanders came out last year where would they rank compared to others in that draft?

I’d rather use one of the compensatory 3rd rounders.

Cousins is going to do the Russel Wilson route.. He's going to be getting paid by the Falcons next year, therefore will play for the veteran minimum.. He's not high on my list but he will be the cheapest.

 

[mandal24]

I dont like Sanders. Ward would be 3rd IMO behind Caleb and Daniels.

He was 1 half away from taking the Canes to the CFP with the worst defense in football lol
