None of these moves matter without our franchise QB

Why did Brady go to the bucs?

Why did Watson go to the browns?

why did Stafford go to the rams?

answer those questions and you’ll understand why these moves matter 

Of course they matter and they paid off but you're not always going to have a franchise QB land in you lap.   Detroit let Stafford go because he had no chance of winning there.  Watson wanted out of Houston and 230 million guaranteed is insane.  Brady picked his spot and got another ring.  

When you don't have a franchise QB are you supposed to just tank until you do?  No you have to find a competent replacement until you get lucky enough to land one.  No one knows what a rookie is going to bring.  Last year everyone had Mac Jones as the lowest rated QB and probably had the best season of all the rookies.

In the meantime you build your team to succeed with the best talent around your QB and hope they are good enough to win with them and a good defense.

Agree. I’m a bit worried about all the money we are spending this year as it makes me think we will go QB in the draft. The optimism is all of a sudden off the charts but we have a gaping hole at QB. I don’t want to have 8-9 wins and again miss out on Herbert or last year’s QBs.

That is why i say trade for Minshew.  He's on the last year of his rookie contract and if he doesn't pan out we can let him go with minimal damage. 

It all depends on what Philly values him at.  I say trade away 6 for 15 and Minshew and you can name another pick. 

You get your QB and still have a good chance to address the line some more.

I think Minshew has more than proven he doesn’t have it. He will be good for a few games, like any good backup, and then regress. 
I wouldn’t mind Minshew to replace PJ but as a potential starter I don’t really think he is the answer.

I'm not 100% sold on that assessment.  He's been with some pretty bad teams yet managed to win.  He may not be the answer but he better than Darnold and probably better than any draft pick this year.

All these QBs have major question marks about them.  Personally I like Howell and think he'll be the best of the group.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
