Who would you rather have? Moore or Palmer?

I'd rather just see what Moore brings to the table in the off and preseason.

That is I'd rather do that then entertain the notion of the guy who just lost to the Jets joining our team when there is about a -50% chance of it ever happening.

Moore. Do not bring in any FA quarterbacks as the ones who will be available are the ones who faltered and fell with their last team. As for the draft, bring in a QB to compete with Moore (but most likely Moore will win) and then keep the dude as a backup or future QB.

Palmer has not seemed the same to me since the knee injury.

I really like Moore, but I expect Jake to beat him out for at least one more year. I think Jake is going to have a strong season next year.

Never count someone that competitive out, even if he did throw 18 picks and had a horrid season.

Pretty random thread. These guys are not close to each other in terms of experience, or anything else. Moore has started a total of 8 games, Palmer is a 6 year vet who has started 81. Palmer is 30 and actually in the prime of his career while Moore is 25 years and just beginning his career. One is a number 1 pick, the other a UDFA. One is a 2 time probowler, the other hasn't completed one season.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
