The same front office that’s tried to trade for every QB this off-season? After giving Teddy B 60 million? The same front office willing to give their first borns to the Texans? Yea they aren’t desperate at all. 

They clearly passed on beating the 49ers offer.

Exactly! I don't know what some people are thinking! Did Fitterer and Rhule (and even Tepper) become stupid with their value-cost analyses all of a sudden?

Hell, they passed on the 49ers-Dolphins shenanigans, and also the Rams-Lions'!

Trading with Miami at this point is unlikely, and depends on two factors Miami doesn't control.

1.  Who is still available at six.

2.  What we think Detroit will do.

If one of the four QB's is still there at six, Miami already showed the league their hand.  They aren't interested.  Anyone with the draft capitol to reasonably move up already has.  So what do we think the Lions will do? 

I mean, it's the Lions, super hard to say.  They have Goff, but was their goal to get Goff or was their goal to get rid of Stafford?  Hard to say.  Goff is younger for sure, maybe they do like him.  I don't think Detroit is completely out of the QB market, but having Goff I think makes it less likely they would take one.

Bottom line is that pick six isn't all that valuable right now, as it appears that four QB's are going in the top five.  In the event something strange happens on draft day, that could change.  I don't expect us to move to six pre-draft, that's for sure.

You have to be a special kind of gullible to believe it was all former radio host turned gm Hurney who was already halfway out the door yet entirely on his own went out and signed a backup quarterback to a 60 million dollar contract. 

It is crap to blame the fans for having the nerve of expecting more and not wanting to see the franchise waste the prime of our young core on manageable contracts because we picked the wrong quarterback.

The onus is on the coaching staff the owner and unfortunately for him Fitterer the new gm to figure it out and right the ship. We were fed a line of back and forth double talk about our former qb and the process itself moving forward in the early stages of the 2020 offseason that this was going to be a rebuild then it wasn't and we blew up our cap space on two luxury positions and Teddy Bridgewater. Figure out the plan set it in motion and fix this.

I'm not sure how desperate our FO really is.  We have no idea what they've actually been doing on the QB front, other than being involved - which is what all of us wanted.  We know they've been outbid a few times...  So, desperate to an extent, but not insofar as to make moves that IMO would have been a bit too costly. 

As to Teddy B, his contract isn't as terrible as some here make it out to be...  He was paid 16th in the league last year and that is honestly about where he fell in terms of QB level.  Luckily it is a relatively team friendly contract and we can ditch him without a terrible cap hit next year. Tbh I would have rather gone with the much cheaper Kyle Allen, but oh well.  I don't blame a coach for not wanting to go the tanking route, heh.

Well to be fair that was Hurney that did that to TB....uh but the same front office that kept Hurney around for another year in hopes that? what? I have no fuging idea it has been beyond clear and obvious that Hurney is a trash GM but I guess we just had to scientifically nail that down with even more evidence.

There are a lot of QB needy teams this year  

the odds of one of the top 5  QBs just magically falling to the Panthers at 8 is unlikely   The odds of a team not trading up, or trying to, is also unlikely 

odds are for the Panthers more trading down then up 

Panthers screwed the pooch several times since Rhule arrived and now Rhule is stuck with the player he fell in love  with having that he now  wants to divorce 

2021 is going to be interesting

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
