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.

Everything depends on the condition of Cams shoulder. If he can come back and make it thru a season and play at a high level then we really don’t need to worry about a back-up.

 

Hurneys moves during the FA period and the draft will tell us where Cam is at

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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
