If we decide to finally go after are next franchise QB what are some potential targets? The QB draft class seems to be weak this year as well as the free agents. Just doing a little research there’s really not a lot of options. Possible trade perhaps? Any sleepers you guys would want to go after?
 
I think some other trade options include Joe Flacco, Derek Carr and Jameis Winston but I'm not sure if any of them are a significant upgrade from a healthy tannehill but that's the issue tannehill can't stay healthy. So it would be nice to have a starter who can stay health at least

I think Carr still has upside, we've seen him carry a team and play at a high level (MVP conversation in 2016-2017 season) and he shown more clutch plays at the end of games than we have ever seen from Tannehill.

We've seen Flacco play at a high level too and seems to play better on big spotlights in big time games. Have we ever beat Flacco?

I think Eli is about done, he needs to go to team that is making a super Bowl push.

Winston is just a complete wildcard and is prone to turnovers and seems very immature and childish, he'd probably be my least favorite option.

So basically Derek Carr and Flacco would be potentially realistic options that I would be good with as long it doesn't cost us a ton to get them.

I could see Nick Foles being in the conversation as well but he doesn't really excite me.

It's a tough year to find a quarterback. I floated the idea of trading for an established veteran rather than trading up for an unproven quarterback. In reality, I'd like to see Miami get a quarterback in the draft. But, I'd follow the strength of the draft and load up on defense, maybe get a mid-round quarterback and see what happens.

I think you've got to explore all options, though. Is there a sleeper as a backup on another team? Maybe Mullins for a mid-round pick? Maybe Rudolph, who I liked coming out. Would a team be willing to trade an established quarterback like a Matt Stafford? If so, what would he be worth?

Miami has so many holes, but I think there will be an urgency to get a quarterback this offseason.

I agree. The quarterback position is more important than ever with the way the rules have changed and the protection the rules provide the position. Still, finding the right one is the key. If there isn't one in the draft, you've got to either wait a year and build strength in other areas or look to trades or free agency. Sorry, a bit captain obvious there.
 
Man, do I wish we drafted Lamar Jackson. Not at #11, but trading up like Baltimore did. Just one game, but his ability to break off a big run is something that defenses can't defend. Maybe Stephen Ross was right on that one.

it always one qb in draft. just got find that special qb. cannot be scare try. one concern is Adam. he seem like he don't like rookie qb. I have seen thill17. he is not answer either. you can used him as bridge for now.
 
A lot of people are knocking this guy... but there is no young QB I would like to see in Aqua and Orange more than this guy.
