Lets talk hypotheticals here...

 

Lets say QB1 comes back and plays well. Now lets also assume that Will Grier continues to develop throughout the season, Kyle Allen could probably fetch some pretty good trade capital given how young and cheap he is.

We might be in a position like the Patriots have been the last several years where we trade a back up for decent draft capital. I think that is the best case situation for us.

Probably not going to be as much trade value as you would think for a relatively unproven guy on a one year deal. Better off to wait until free agency and then just out bid us.

Isn't he exclusive rights? If we tender him, he can't even negotiate with other teams

NO

You do like Foles in Philly

Part of this fan base wants a 100% healthy QB1 Back

But you need to make sure he can make it through this year and next before extending him.  If he goes on to stay healthy this year and next and looks good.  Yeah you trade Allen 

 

Philly knew a healthy Wentz was their best option but had injury problems.  But Foles showed he could win you games.  Eventually they extended Wentz at the end of his contract and moved on from Foles

 

If Cam comes back but then injury problems next year, atleast you have Allen and extend him and not resign Cam

Why would you trade a good backup just because Cam returns? 

Cam has missed significant time the last 2 years and taken more punishment in NFL history....him coming back healthy doesn’t mean he stays that way for long.  He could come back 100% and be back out in 3 weeks.  We need a backup.

You keep Allen.

This

This same fan base were PISSED at Hurney after preseason because Grier and Allen looked bad and we wanted a Backup that could come in and win games, something we havnt had since Anderson

 

 

Now your wanting to Trade that same thing you were crucifying the GM for, for "not getting this offseason"?

You can't trade a promising young QB in this league, especially when your starter hasn't been able to stay on the field. You just can't.

Yeah, I am assuming he is saying Cam comes back and finishes the year healthy while playing well. 

It would make more sense to keep Allen around but it is also a hypothetical. 

So, what's the ultimate squeal point on trading him? What if a first round pick is offered?

Here’s a counter hypothetical: Cam hasn’t sustained the injuries he has in the past 2 years but is still on the wrong side of 30 and his effectiveness is still dependent on a play style that puts his body at risk more than any other qb in the league. Do you expect your massive good fortune to continue indefinitely or do you prudently invest in retaining a backup who is above average against the inevitable day when your aging franchise guy can’t go?

Even without the current injury situation you retain Allen.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
