A.  Welcome to the Huddle, new person

B.  You haven't paid any attention


 

I am relatively new, but I assumed from the way people are reacting they trust Verge. So I will too.

Yes, and people have to remember this about Verge--Scouts (and friends) do not predict--they do not have inside information beyond the internal grapevine.  So she shares what she hears--and things change from day to day, as we all know.  But at the end of the day, it is like this-=-there is a fan level where people with a website repeat each other based on suppositions and what they appear to be good fits, and there is the underground NFL--where the people in the business engage is more informed chatter.  That is more likely to be factual in the end, than listening to the draft carnies on the websites that compete for clicks.

My friend is a senior scout on an NFL team and is in a circle that is in the know on certain movement within the draft and certain aspects of FA. He has never been 100% correct, nor have I, but what information I do get from him is generally going to be as deep or deeper than most NFL insiders as it what is being talked about inside the NFL. If that helps.

Cutting Cam and Starting Allen would have given you the same production at a fraction of the cost.


Allen had already proven he was not a starting QB even when healthy. Cam’s health was the question. Rolling with Allen as the starter was never an option.

So are we officially in trade talks with teams about Bridgewater or is this all just preliminary discussions and hypotheticals?

I think we have been in trade talks that have been on and off throughout the offseason. You get a sense of who is still in or not by this point.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
