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.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
