What would you do about the backup QB Situation

Now that Cam has officially had his scope done, it's almost certain we will go after a backup QB. What do you guys feel would be the best approach for the back up QB?

  • Draft a rookie? Who?
  • Keep running with Allen. Why?
  • Sign a FA. Who?
  • Trade for someone. Who and what would you give up?

Personally, Teddy Bridgwater would be on my radar. We'd have to make some adjustments with post 6/1 cuts to create cap, but having someone who was on the inside of a divisional opponent and is familiar with Norv's offense..... that would be ideal for me. Thoughts?

With our current cap space and needs across the roster I say we roll with Kyle Allen/Heinicke and draft a QB. If Cam can’t go our season is over anyway. Why pay 10+ million for a qb like Bridgwater when he is not taking us to the playoffs of leading us to the Super Bowl? We waste money and end up with another 7-9 or 8-8 season with one of the current free agent QBs if we have to go to them. Foles would be a nice addition but no way we can afford him, we should draft one and hope they can turn into a cheap quality backup.

Too many glaring holes elsewhere on D and the OL

We can draft a rookie early incase Cam goes down.  But that rookie isnt going to able to guide the ship with the holes on D and OL filling it up with water.

 

Cam could come back this year.  If the same thing happens next year as this year with him, id start to worry then.  And grab a QB in .round 1 in a stronger QB class. 

 

The vet FA market should be good

Fitzpatrick 

Bridgewater

Tyrod Taylor hitting the open market

 

Most expecting Flacco and Tannehill to be cut

I like the Tannehill option. Did not even think about that one.

Sign Tyrod Taylor. At least we know what we are getting. We also don't have to change the system too much as Taylor is a running QB.

Novel idea but he will be the most expensive FA QB more than likely.  Honestly the real answer is there isn’t one worth drafting or signing.  Let Allen, Heineken and Garrett compete.  Just not a lot of options this year.

Teddy Bridgewater played like ass against OUR defense. I’m assuming you didn’t watch Week 17, because if you did there’s no way you can justify overspending for him over Kyle Allen, who outplayed Bridgewater in every facet of the game despite playing with three turnstiles and two wet paper bags as his offensive line.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
