In what alternate universe is Lamar and/or Herbert going to be available for trade?

Hey, Stafford got traded when he was still clearly a quality QB with lots of tread left on the tires.  So this universe if the compensation is good enough.

We are a QB away from being a really good team. We are so limited by Bryce and Andy. Give Canales a good QB and this offense would be so explosive. 

I can't believe there are still Bryce Young supporters. But then I look at the country as a whole and see people will support somebody no matter what.

Canales is going to have to draft and develop someone and sign a FA to hold the reigns until he's ready. Thats our future whether it works out or not.

How many mid to late rounders (especially lately) are going to really develop into a franchise QB.  Most likely the best you are going to get is a game manager.

Not sure there is 1 QB I want from this draft (definitely not in the 1st round). Ty Simpson might fit DC's offense the best (among the projected top 8ish QBs), but I'm not sure he is a legit NFL QB.

I'd rather them target a QB in the 4th or 5th. I think Sawyer Robinson can be a good QB if a team can fix his footwork mechanics - way too many throws off his back foot.

Literally all better than Bryce with legit NFL size and stronger arms

Very childish @Captroop You don't agree with my post and comments that's cool  Pooing is really childish.  

Why don't you contribute some realistic takes and grow TF up.

I just think most people don't understand what Bryce does bring to this offense.  His constant checks and adjustments, and dummy calls, and all those other things that announcers don't talk about routinely put us in a position to be successful. He is no small part of the running success we've had. 

I agree that his physical abilities are near the bottom of the NFL, but I'd say that's less than half the job, and becoming less and less important with each passing season. We've seen far more physically gifted players that couldn't get the job done. There's a reason for that. If were winning, don't change it. I like winning.

So you are willing to draft one of these guys in Round 1 or 2?  I haven't seen Moore but I really like Simpson and would love to take a flyer on him.  The issue is.  You're giving up a chance to take a quality defender that we desperately need.

Bryce is not an NFL starter. On the other hand, we are not going to be close enough to the top of the draft to take a QB in what is looking like a dwindling QB class. Injuries, lackluster seasons, too many underclassmen along with NIL is making the '26 QB class thin out quickly with many of the top guys returning to school.

I think all options are on the table... But don't force a QB in the draft. See who lands where to us, and either way we NEED a veteran FA more than anything. Dalton is done.

OK, how are you going to fix it? Outside of complaining that you don't like Young.  How are you fixing your dislike for Young as our QB?

The answer for next year is to sign a decent journeyman vet in FA and keep our options open in the draft.

Well seeing as how I'm not a GM, I'm not going to trade for anyone.

But we could follow the Rams model and do a QB swap plus picks. 

Lamar

Herbert 

Mac Jones

 

If we trade for a QB, it's more likely to be someone like Davis Mills or Joe Milton.

Or Tyson Bagent, if we want to get raped by the Bears again.

Probably none. But you cannot do nothing until you think you have a shot at a "franchise" qb. You take a shot on anyone you think is better than what you have. Rinse and repeat.

I'm not crazy about Young. But with the proper situation (good Oline plus running game, stout defense and Wide outs, he can be servicable). They really don't have a choce. So basically, an entire offense built for him and a respectable defense, they can win some games..,
