This Fansided (Catcrave) Article discusses 7 possible FA QBs that could be brought in to compete with Darnold. Let's assume we won't draft a young signal caller and we can't bag another more established signal caller via Trade.

The Players Mentioned were

1. Jacoby Brissette

2. Marcus Mariota

3. Jameis W.

4. Tyrod Taylor

5. Mike White

6. Mitch Turbisky

7. Brandon Allen

Which of these guys has the best shot of helping this team win some games. Explain your reasoning if you please and debate away. (Cam is not on this list but feel free to add him. I can't stop you!)

Would probably take Mitch if we found a way to trade Darnold. Besides that really no point. None of those are gonna move the needle, rather getting us another 8-6th pick; missing out on the most highly regarded QB’s next year.

Best shot? Eh....depends on how we build and how we run the offense.

Taylor/Brissett will not actively lose you games and will manage them relatively effectively. 

Winston/Trubisky are gambles on gunslingers. Gonna have some high highs and low lows. 

If you go deep passing offense:

1. Winston

2. Trubisky

If you go conservative, rush based offense:

1. Taylor

2. Brissett

 

Not interested at all in the rest other than for backup purposes.

Mitch signed with Buffalo because he wanted a stable situation to regroup. I highly doubt he's going to jump right back into another full blown poo show.

[T-Wazzle]

Tyrod Taylor will get injured answering the phone if they call him.

The writer seem to suggests a lot of these FAs would be intrigued because they are assured a shot to start going up against Darnold. I guess Mitch would have to decide if starting again is worth the risks of getting caught up in the Mess here.

[Evil Hurney]

Andy Dalton and possibly Carson Wentz (sounds like he's getting axed) should be on this list.

Carson Wentz is probably getting traded or cut. So he’s an option as well. Though our oline wouldn’t do him any favors.

If we draft and sign OL, I kind of like Mariotta or Mitch running the show until we draft one to learn under them next year.

Right, he'd rather be a backup on a playoff team and maybe get his Nick Foles moment at some point in the playoffs. Then get his one decent contract wherever.

Doesn't he have consistent injury problems?

Mariota hasn't really played much the last couple of years. He did have some injury issues at Tennessee. If He's gotten better watching and learning he should be healed up. He might be worth a look. I guess injury is always a possibility though.

Rock and a hard place....

Deepest QB draft in a decade last year and now we're thirsty because dumbass did the total opposite of what he was supposed to do last draft.

Mariotta did, but he had been healthy these past two years as a backup (not really playing). Plus you won’t find a perfect candidate as a FA.
