QBs that would cost next to nothing and are better than anything we currently have.

Logical. Still, you see certain guys here and there that you think might buck the odds and might be worth that flier.
My recent ‘crush’ was Rattler and he is hanging in the last time I looked. And was just thrown out there, which I would not have wanted to do with him. 
 

Rattler has wildly exceeded my expectations. I figured he would already be on a PS of a different team by now.

He was a highly ranked high school guy. I think those guys are probably worth keeping track of. 
A lot of the failure comes from huge expectations mixed with immaturity. Which I am not saying that was or wasn’t him it’s just a common  thing when you see then not live up to expectations. A lot to deal with at 19 years old.  
Some mature late, still have those skills that made them stand out. So many fall through the cracks.

He was another one of those five year guys that didn't really appreciably seem to develop a lot from Year 1 to Year 5. He was a good college player but not great. 

Which, in fairness to him, he's been relatively the same guy he was in college. I guess that is the real thing, is it possible for him to actually develop further? That's my criticism of guys like Winston/Howell, they don't appear to have any way to develop.

Right now, he does look on track to have a lengthy backup NFL career and for a 5th round pick, that would be a success in my book.

He is gettin a hell of a chance. Most guys like that never get to play, and you need to play.

If you have been around this board long enough, you realize no matter what player you have, they are rarely good enough until they go somewhere else and then it laments why we let them go. 

The cases of players leaving here and then being substantially better elsewhere are fairly minute.

What usually happens is much wailing ans gnashing of teeth that dies very quickly as the stans suddenly realize their player wasn't being held back by the organziation at all. 

This is the overwhelming majority of the cases.

I think a lot of people may be missing some things in this post that I was trying to convey.

1) Sure my list isn’t good… but neither are we or our QB room. 
 

2) I believe a bench warmer for two years in NFL with a somewhat avg track record is better than any rookie

3) Cam Ward, Anthony Richardson, CJ Stroud, Michael Penix, Spencer Rattler, etc, etc…. These are not good QBs and their upside is no greater than any of the names I mentioned.  The QBs coming out this year are worse.  Drafting a QB is a crap shoot.  We mortgaged the house for BY and he will never work out with us.  He’s behind one of the best Olines and has serviceable weapons and averages 5.8 and 160 yds.  Don’t draft a QB to start! Don’t do it!  Draft a lineman! 
 

4) Everyone said Jones, Baker, Darnold were washed.  Yall were wrong and you may be wrong about my list.  Next year I’ll bring my receipts!

Overpay for Daniel Jones - assuming he doesn’t take whatever offer Colts make during season so he can leverage free agency. 
 

Gardner Minshew as the backup. Let Bryce and Andy walk off into the sunset together. 

Not sure anything would be an overpay the guy has turned into a Josh Allen clone this year and ive watched 4-5 Colts games this year

      There was a brief time where many in the fanbase considered if we should seek his services after the dumpster fire that was the Matt Rhule experience had us completely downbad. Such is the result of living with the Tepper's as owners.

      "Turk" wharton

      By Basbear · Posted

      I know Herniay, gettlegut, shittererererrer, shinkshipsefort never took a awful OL or DL and solved the problems more than one year flukes. The depth is about as good as ever too, Cam Jackson and JHH have been inactive main stays. Panthers have been protecting them for a big portion of the season, cause Im sure some team would claim them. Sam Roberts was like the 10th DLmen and failcons signed him to their roster before week 1 and he's been there since. When teams are signing your 6th string player to a 53 roster, thats a great sign. Its against my rules to judge rookie class in their 1st season, but they've injected this team with talent and energy. 21% change with youth that by the early looks many have enough talent to help the team. Thor was getting starter snaps before his awful injury and he's not included. This group was under Dan and Tils watch, they had to add a 2nd rounder to counter that BY trade. Trade-wise they have been on the clear winning side on all 5-6 of them, the AT one looks arrestable right now. No one bats 1.000 on FA moves, they have bought something to roster. Turk had injuries and not playing at his salary-level, but he's stepping up with leadership and busting his arse in the weight room. Boom is leading too. Rico broke some all-time records and was lava hot leading the NFC in rushing without many snaps. Moehring has upped the talent level and able to play close to LOS while guarding TEs.  They found Brycen Tremayne young perfect #4-5 WR that plays hard on STs. He a great blocker and I think he's can improve to a #3 type role given his young age and work ethic. He was the one that screwed up the WR numbers, no one had him making the team against 9 NFL WRs. The guy just busted his arse and made them roster him. Great under radar find, shame he's not gotten props. Early in the season he caught some big time balls too.  I think for sure they have improved this team and done so with youth. If they get another 12 or so players like this 2025 class in 2026......That may build for the the first time, a team that can go to the playoff year after year.
