Like I said- not impossible, but no way that I’m buying it’s likely

Heaven forbid we are only super bowl contenders for 2 years before having to find a new qb Yup.

The issue being that odds are someone pays him more for a bigger role. I don’t think there’s hard feelings- just unlikely to make sense

Like his agent having a new intern to handle social media?

Nope. Not shady.

Maybe a bills pic for you is just a game pic for him

I think the poll is most likely not most desired. I could see him being among the most easy to select in a list. Never know where a trade will get them to so it’s hard to pick one of the rookies even if you think they like a specific one.

I’ve been pro-luck if our trainers pass him and he’s available... but there aren’t any “proven” QBs that we can count on getting. If something opens up that puts brees, wilson or Rodgers in play - great. But I don’t think anyone is expecting that to happen

Weve seen the list a dozen times this offseason. find the list of guys like Keenum, McCarron etc... that have become viable answers vs the ones that disappeared. It’s even longer odds.

Why are we better off spending 15m on a qb and drafting two second tier guys instead of signing two vets and trading up for a cheap rookie qb? at least the rookie stands a chance of being the guy. Keenum or McCarron? Meh.

I get it. And stand by my joke.

All I hear is that we shouldn’t hire the OP to scout

He wouldve been better with more talent. Not great but better. When all were healthy there were some decent days. Roll in Percy and we had good but unreliable weapons outside.

McCarron/Keenum for 18m plus 7m dead sure would be worst case for me now.

I dig it I think

If we pencil in McCowm at 6.5 from last year and Tyrods dead at 7.5 we are at 14m for that roster slot. Saves $2m vs Tyrod staying and gets you a draft pick about 32 picks higher.... i could land on either side... I suppose that’s markets being efficient

Reading comprehension issues do create a lot of the hot takes I’ll say that now that we know the terms it’s an interesting debate. Do you eat Tyrods dead money and get an early 3 now or hold him for the year and potentially get a comp 3 later (even as a good backup contract he’d likely be up there)? i think this has to indicate a mediocre vet (Yates, Moore, Anderson) type guys at sub $5m and no threat to start paired with an aggressive run at a rookie. That said, tyrods 7.5m dead plus a cheap vet gets you towards 10m+ between the contracts.... for the extra couple million I like Tyrod as a backup instead of Derek Anderson unless the relationship was totally poisoned (possible)

No young qb is ever fully ready — if you believe a guy is worth going to the top ten he is immediately starter unless you made a mistake. If we stay put then it’s a competition with a slightly stacked deck (close and the rookie plays)

Also, if the team has essentially moved on it’s pretty “whatever” as far as crying about tampering Its a tough rule to enforce. How do you prove the Bucs and Gaines spoke?

I would absolutely hate eating Tyrods dead money to give McCarron 15m per year

Sooooo instead of an unproven commodity at qb you go after Keenum, savage and bridgewater for guys 3-5 on your list? foles I can at least buy as having a couple successful stints. If docs clear luck that’s different... but you put savage at the top of the rookie class in what he’s proven?

But we aren’t really talking “more than that” just a different assortment. if we add Rosen, LB at 22, WR in the second, and a RB and offensive line depth in the 3rd ala this trade.... and free agency gets us an impact at DL, a decent WR, and caretaker vet qb.... suddenly we have a pretty good shot at a WC and also some depth. I’m not saying we should press for that but it’s truly nothing to be afraid of

You had them penciled in for 10-6 and the AFCCG after being 3-13 the year prior and starting Blake Bortles.... but we shouldn’t trade next years 1 for fear of it being top 5.... Come on... an improvement for Jax was getting near .500. Them getting deep in the playoffs was about as long a shot as us getting 3 wins next year.

Or the jags in the bottom 4? By that standard we could get lucky and it be pick 26 next year

Truly we have never been in all that bad of a situation.
