I think Tepper will force Rhule and Fitts to go all in on a big splash QB this off-season but largely leave the details up to them whether it's a trade (Watson, Wilson, Rodgers, etc), a high level FA (Derek Carr type), or a 1st round draft pick. But he knows the value of the QB position and I think he's going to get tired of watching us try to bargain shop there. Those items are in the bargain bin for a reason.

Our best bet is Watson since he’s in the AFC. GB will not trade Rodgers to another NFC team. Getting Watson to Carolina is Tepper’s priority because Tepper knows he will get 100% of Clemson fans to become Panthers fans.

I'll take Derek Carr in a heartbeat, his situation feels similar to Matthew Stafford languishing all those years in Detroit. 

 

Carr not is that good, he’s also horrific under pressure. He’s turns into Charlie check down the second he hears footsteps

I don't see any QB I would waste a 1st round pick on this offseason. We have bigger needs on the OL to fix, IMO. Not to mention we don't have many draft picks in 2022.

Hopefully we can sign a QB or trade for a QB in the next couple of seasons. I was firmly on the "get the QB first" bandwagon but as bad as this OL is, fix that first before trying to draft a higher round QB prospect. 

If someone like Watson is available, that is a no brainer. If Derek Carr becomes available, that is a good option. Other than that, sign another failed QB for a cheap contract, build a better OL and hope you can make one of the turds float in 2022. We don't need to have "the QB" immediately. This is still a rebuild.

Marcus Mariota is not a placeholder.  He's a wasted roster spot.  The guy is so brittle he literally came in for 1 play and ended up on IR.  In 2020 he went on IR before playing a single regular season game.

Don’t tell our staff he is injury prone. We will sign him day one…

I don’t click links but if you love watching the panthers and criticizing them you should check out the Heels. Terrible coordinators. God awful OL and receivers with a case of the dropsies. Not to mention the up and down defense. Very similar teams. If HoWeLL was on Bama he would have locked up the Heisman week 2.

    • XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.
    • Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.
    • Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
