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.

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
