You'd think the Patriots would jump all over this. 

They might, though word was they were talking to the 49ers about Garoppolo and we're told he wasn't available.

Speaking of the 49ers, Trubisky going to the Bills means they don't get him and they're still in the market for a backup.

Looks like they are kicking the tires on Flacco

Meh, this is post draft garbage diving kind of signing. No reason to do this now. 

IDK about that. A lot of that depends on what we plan to do with Teddy. If the plan is to jettison him come hell or high water, I'd probably look at Mariota now if he is affordable. At worst, huge boost at the #2 QB.

Man if we are going Turdbustky then why not another rando? I get the 'maybe we can make it work' aspect but I don't see a reason to jump yet. There will be some vet available post draft.

Plus once we pick up a QB we won't get jack for Teddy. I'm hoping a 5th is out there somewhere but I'm more than happy with a flat cut.

I think it just depends on what the overall plan is. If it is "Watson or bust" then there isn't a rush. If the plan is "Anyone but Teddy" I could see a reason to start looking around.

If it was 'Watson or bust' before prodays are done we have much bigger problems.

I don't mind the looking but we should wait until we address the Teddy scenario. Once we make the first move then the dominoes start falling. Why put ourselves in a corner over a backup level QB?

With our current roster and cap, we can't sign anyone really, let alone an actual NFL QB.

Everyone is all excited about Deshaun, but I'm baffled at how anyone expects us to fit him.  The Texans surely don't want Teddy with Tyrod already in house.

If I was the Texans' GB, I would pull a page from the NBA and tell the Panthers they would have to pay me to take Teddy off their hands with more draft picks. The Panthers have already made the blunder of letting it be known Teddy is not good enough for them, why would anyone with a lick of sense be willing to trade for him? The best option when it comes to Teddy for any team that might be interested is to wait for the Panthers to be forced to cut him and sign Teddy for cheap without giving up anything else.

It depends on the overall plan. I guess we will see what the overall plan is. Hard to say at the moment.

I have no idea, some conflicting readings and known dead ends going in different directions. It certainly isn't boring.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
