Davejr511 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Right now we only have Tyrod Taylor and Cardale Jones. Unless Whaley is a complete idiot, I'm pretty sure he will draft a QB. Im not sure when though. With greater needs at WR & DB, Id be shocked if we go with a QB in the first two rounds. If thats the case we will likely end up with mid level talent for a QB like Davis Webb, Nathan Peterman,Joshua Dobbs or Chad Kelly. So in logic we'll have a mid level talent starting QB, and 2 very raw and unproven QBs. What Im trying to get to is where is the veteran back-up QB we can trust if god forbid Tyrod goes down. Sorry but Im not sold on Jones as back-up, there is a reason he lost out on the starting job at Ohio State. A strong arm will only get you so far on the football field. Anyways, how have we not interviewed guys like Cutler, Kap, RG3 or Keenum? The going rate for back-up QB seems to be around 2 mill per. Im sure we can get 1 of these guys for that if not a little less.

Your way out infront of this one, need some of that forward thinking at OBD.

Unless your goal is to just be ok, be “in the hunt”. If that’s your goal, then why worry about a back up QB? It’s not like you’re trying to win a Superbowl anyways. Your roll in the league is to be “in the hunt” and just miss out in the final weeks, then go away and let the teams with real NFL QBs play for the championship. Edited March 26, 2017 by 1billsfan
BuffAlone Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I honestly think we sign a vet this year,and by default go after a QB next year. If we're lucky,there shouldn't be qb starved teams ahead of us in the draft next year,as Cle and SF should get their guys this year,leaving us for the pick of the litter next year...im dreaming,i know. But it might be plausible to surmise that?
Foxx Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Jay Cutler with roughly 6mm in cap space, Cutler will not be coming here.
machine gun kelly Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Nor should we want him. Maybe a late pick in the draft. Either that or we pick someone up off the street if TT goes down.
billsredneck1 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) if we end up with a mid tier rookie draft pick this year....and i'm hoping it's chad kelly, why not bring in nassib for a visit? chase daniel will find a more lucrative deal elsewhere. nassib was behind ely all this time and in limited playing time was what?...9-12 128 and a td? cheap too Edited March 26, 2017 by billsredneck1
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 with roughly 6mm in cap space, Cutler will not be coming here.$6? I assume that's the $12 less rookie salaries.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 $6? I assume that's the $12 less rookie salaries. ...even the Jesters didn't want 'em...........'nuff said.............
Foxx Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 $6? I assume that's the $12 less rookie salaries. correct, as the rookie pool needs to be accounted for.

No wonder we have half a dozen threads about firing Doug. I must now do a search and see if in fact this has been discussed and I have been missing it. Truly I will find it has not because you would have done your due diligence and searched ahead of time to be sure you could give one of those many "QB situation"threads the very well thought out OP you did above.Never mind. Just did the search....been rehashed before.

oldmanfan Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 If we were actually on the verge of heading into the season there might be concern. It's March. Relax.
Art in PNS Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 with roughly 6mm in cap space, Cutler will not be coming here. Don't forget A Williams was designated as a post June 1st cut so we carry roughly 6MM of salary until after June first then the cap is is much less. Also by Then Free agents will be cheaper if their are any less and we will be post draft.
