Quarterbacks that are on shaky ground

In reviewing the top quarterbacks based on yardage, I see that Cam Newton falls into the Top 10.

However there are several qb's that I have questions about going into the future.

36 Jason Campbell - Serviceable but not special

33 Matt Cassell - Serviceable but not special

32 The Golden Calf of Bristol - Popular but not very good

28 Kevin Kolb - Was replaced by two qb's last season

22 Colt McCoy - Serviceable but not special

For the sake of Argument I am looking at qb's ranked 21st and below.

I would be interested on hearing your views on whether these qb's solidify their future as starters or do they fade into oblivion this year.

36 Jason Campbell - Serviceable but not special - a back up QB this season in Chicago.

33 Matt Cassell - Serviceable but not special. Pretty good team surrounding him. Needs to step up.

32 The Golden Calf of Bristol - Popular but not very good - lol, punt protector

28 Kevin Kolb - Was replaced by two qb's last season - Won't be surprised if he comes good or losses his job.

22 Colt McCoy - Serviceable but not special - Brandon Weeden will start.

Not trying to be a douche but what exactly is your question or point? Just a link to passing yardage leaders and a couple tid bits on some crappy back up QBs? Thats totally fine if so, just asking for some clarification, I feel like I may be missing something.

    • 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.
