What, in your opinion, is a good backup QB? Like statistically, and quality-wise? What physical makeup is appropriate, and what experience level?

There are different types of QB's this isn't a simple answer. Are you looking for a QB with mobility or are you looking for a pure pocket passer? We actually had an okay backup in Teddy but we way overpaid him and ever since we jettisoned him we have been limited to arguing over the likes of Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold. I'm of the opinion that we let the new coach and staff identify their own veteran and rookie they may be targeting in the draft. Clean slate. Like I said in the other thread. Not complicated.

But I'm asking you. You've enumerated what makes backup QBs bad. What makes them good?

Well considering some of you think a 2.8 passer rating is a good thing I guess we just need someone who can muster more than that right?

Just as I suspected. You can't answer it.

Yea, he's just vomiting at the mouth and refuses to put together anything of substance. 

My perfect backup QB is like a Jordan Love situation. Young QB with potential locked in for 4 years. Gives you the flexibility to trade them if beneficial and the hope they can develop into something. Of course, you need an established franchise QB to make it work over their developmental span.

Darnold is close to an ideal backup as well. Seems to be a good teammate and capable of lower end starter production. Cheap also.

Far easier to tear down than to engage.

All you want me to say is we just need a game manager but there are other options for that. Who here wouldn't like to draft a Brock Purdy in a late round and have him out there throwing darts. But how likely is that? For years people have been talking about Sam's arm talent but the end our season we lost to Tom Brady who is old enough to be a grandpa and we barely squeaked by Dalton and a Saints team who clearly couldn't be bothered to give a fug about winning.

Well it's pretty unlikely, because in addition to arm talent and good scheme, Brock Purdy has a ton of offensive weapons to work with, like, oh, I don't know. I'm sure you remember his name. You've used up a lot of your insults lately, though. Got anything new?

Did you get his jersey? 🤪

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      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.
