Opinions on a cheaper quarterback option

(pure speculation initiated)

Mike Garafolo is reporting that the Eagles are telling all their head coaching prospects that they want to bring Carson Wentz back next season.

Makes me wonder what they plan to do with Jalen Hurts.

I've watched very little of Hurts as a pro (truthfully, there hasn't been all that much to see) but he did seem to jumpstart the Eagles offense when they put him in.

I also remember what happened to him in college, but I don't know how much you can count that in current evaluations.

So I'm wondering, if the Eagles were to decide to move on from Hurts to minimize potential quarterback controversies, are you interested in bringing him here and what kind of offer sounds reasonable?

(obviously a lot less than you'd have to offer for Watson, so there's that)

If we go after a current QB I hope it’s Stafford. Obviously more expensive than Hurts but the guy puts up HoF numbers (minus playoff wins) in the probably worst run franchise in the NFL. And he’s only 32. I think he’d throw for 4500 a season for another 4-6 years with DJ and CMC

There is a lot of speculation about Stafford being on his way out of Detroit.

I'm not his biggest fan, but you never know.

IIRC, we were interested in Hurts last year leading up to the draft. I don't see him as a franchise QB and he reminds me of a less-impactful RGIII. 

I think PJ Walker is a better prospect and just needs more reps to work out his kinks. The way PJ was used towards the end of the year was frustrating.

Been saying this for a month. Get Stafford, and use picks to build a line in front of him. 

Patriots wanted Teddy last offseason, maybe we can work a deal to send him there for a pick or somebody like Joe Thuney to play guard

No thx. He will be 33 when the season starts and we are not a vet QB away from competing. Why dump heavy money on a non-mobile QB that is on the descent to his trajectory vs. a QB on a rookie deal for the next 4 years or building one more year of assets before finding our franchise signal caller in '22. 

This process was never meant to be a 1 or 2 year deal. Rhule and Co. are playing the long game and, IMO, Stafford doesn't fit that. 

I could see Stafford in Indy, Chicago or SF....much closer to competing for a deep playoff run.

We're in the playoffs this year with Stafford instead of Teddy.

Honestly, if QB doesn't go the right way for us in the draft this wouldn't be the worst idea if we could get him for a mid-round pick. I'd rather take a chance on Hurts than roll with Teddy again. 

Since he's been brought up here, what about Stafford?

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      So what is more important? what he did on the Saints the year before last or how he compares to a ROOKIE who clearly had problems adjusting to the LEAGUE last year on another team and it effecting win/losses? smh And you say im all over the place.  Also, i clearly gave explanations for how the seattle game played out. Its rare a qb has to throw the ball 63 times so to think it would have been a theme for the season is ludicrous... the even bigger point is that its not necessarily his fault if he has to do it in the first place like he was calling the plays but for some strange reason you continue to hold that against Dalton as if its all on him and not the guys around him racking up penalties. If he is old terrible as you say it shouldnt matter how bad the defense was he played, he shouldnt have been able to throw for over 300 yds on them with no turnovers. But this is the narratives people pushed all season, why didnt bryce turn around and destroy and even worse defense against a winless vikings the next week? Do i need to layout how dumb this logic is even more?

      I love to bash them for this move but its smart..  They have a team that can win the NFCS this year, but yet they are picking in the top 10 now.  Cousins contract is really only a 2 year deal. So Penix can sit and learn with no pressure for 2 years and in year 3 when Cousins guaranteed money is over they can plug in Penix.  If they were not in a position to win the South this year then I think this would have been bad trade, but its smart and they can afford it.

      Already noticing differences At least this year, we did not see photos of Xavier hugging Mrs. Tepper (even if others were hugged, it simply suggests owner involvement on a premature level, imo)--there were no cute news conferences wherein the head coach jokes about drafting a RB because he had a good game against Baylor and his wife told him to; There are not recordings of the head coach calling a long snapper and trying to convince him that he is being drafted and not pranked.    In other words, I get the feeling that the GM was actually able to do his job this year--we shall see.
