Any speculations about Fitterer and who might be cut that could upgrade the backup QB spot?  Hunches?  Curious, weird feelings?  Predictions?  (Get the idea?)

Or

Do you think we stay put and ride the wave on the hopes that our OL keeps Darnold upright?

I think we should trade Grier straight up for Kyle Allen.  Do it Marty, you know you want to...

I don't think anyone is going to cut a QB that's an acceptable backup.

We'd have to trade for someone. 

It actually does happen sometimes. 

Whether or not it will this offseason? Don't know.

I personally wouldn't mind Matt Barkley (a FA) over what we have by the sounds of it.

Someone in here got it right 

[Mr. Scot]

Available free agents (via Spotrac)

- Alex Smith (pretty sure he retired, but...)
- Robert Griffin III
- Matt Barkley
- Josh McCown (excellent mentor type ) 
- Blake Bortles
- Brett Hundley
- Sean Mannion (been getting a lot of tryouts) 
- Ryan Finley
- Jamie Newman (yeah...no)
- Josh Johnson
- Case Cookus (yes, that's a real guy; I looked him up)

Not a great list.

Who let you in?

 (good to see ya, dude) 

[Mr. Scot]

As far as trade targets, it feels like half the teams in the league have traded for Nick Foles.  Could we be next? 

(I remember him having a ridiculous contract though)

He wasn't cut by the Saints after the pre-season.

Bortles would be worth a look

I could see it.

I feel like your backup should go through the same training camp / playbook / teammates / etc.

these well-known QB's that are available are for emergency situations, God forbid.

Any of these guys would be better than what we got. But lets get Cookus on the practice squad so he can afford to change his name, Cookin sounds good to me. Or maybe Cockus, yeah Case Cockus.
