Your back up QB wishlist for next year?

[Fred Bear]

That Huntley guy with the Ravens did pretty well

 

[DolfanISS]

Not Brissett, captain obvious.

 

[MrChadRico]

Omg Jay Cutler!

 

[Vaark]

Colt McCoy

 

[mmikel30]

Bailey Zappe?

Yeah I fudged that one up

 

[KingHydra]

That's a good question. I was thinking about it the other day. These two would probably be too expensive.

Mariota
Teddy B

I like Mariota a lot as well.

 

[KingHydra]

Would’ve been awesome if we could have gotten Minshew this year like the eagles did

And he only makes 2 Mill a year compared to Brisset's 7.5 mill.

 

[PhinFan1968]

I’d agree with many who already said it, Mariotta.

Would like to see a draft pick used on one too, unless somebody they like falls through to UDFA. Somebody smart, quick trigger, student of the game.

We really need to look at a backup outside of Jacoby Brissett this year if we keep winning and the defense keeps balling.

 

[JKS4]

Drew Lock.

 

[DOLFAN_51]

I like Mariotta. And Nick Foles he can probably run our offense.

 

[Tiko377]

Tyrod Taylor....

 

[NBP81]

I'd pick one in the draft as early as the 2nd round...

 

[Fin-Loco]

My wishlist.
1. Gardner Minshew.
2. Drew Locke
3. Baker Mayfield ().

Good concept. Obviously with Tua's injury history having a backup that can come in and win would be huge. Minshew's not a bad idea.

Always seems like such a waste when teams throw big money at these veteran backup QBs or waste high round picks. Even if he had been a competent player what was the point of using 5 mil on a guy like Brissett? I would have rather seen what Sinnett could have done out there, even if he ended up falling on his face. To me these vet backup QBs are just comfort blankets for coaches who want some sense of security when their starter goes down.

Throwing high round picks at backups is almost as wasteful. So few pan out and even if they do and provide some return in the form of a trade its not going to be until 2-3 yrs down the road. Its tough to justify losing out on a contributing positional player on a rookie deal just for the chance that this QB might turn out to be a decent backup.

Give me someone like Sam Howell or Kedon Slovis if they fall into the later rounds. Kids with all the tools that were never quite able to put it together in college. Odds are they'll burn out in the pros as well but there's a chance that it will work out and it worst case you burn a practice squad spot for a year.
