What are you supposed to do if you don't have a top 3 Quarterback? Bills fans have suddenly become total QB snobs. We have Josh and other teams don't so nobody anyone else has is any good. Dak isn't elite. But he is a darn good QB. A top 10 QB. Not saying I disagree with the top 10, but for S and G’s what QBs do you have over him?

Scott7975 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 4 hours ago, GunnerBill said: The problem is the major inefficiency in the QB market and you are right it is because demand outstrips supply. There are like three tiers of guys and then the teams who just flat out don't have a QB.... There is the elite tier: Josh, Mahomes, Burrow (who knows whether you still put Rodgers here or not, depends how he feels) Then a bunch of franchise guys: this is the tier the Dak, Stafford, Lamar, Carr, Herbert (he can make the top group but he hasn't yet) etc fall in Then there are the placeholder starters: Jared Goff and Jimmy G are the classic examples of this right now Then there are the teams who don't have a quarterback: Colts, Jets, Saints, Panthers etc... There are obviously always a few teams who haven't worked out which of these their young guy falls in... but broadly it is those 4 tiers. The problem is the market delineates between tier 2 and 3 pretty well, but not very well between tiers 1 and 2. So rather than the tier 2 guys costs $6-8m a year less which might be one or even two extra impact players they are pretty much the same price when they sign their deals. So you have a couple of seasons before the market has jumped again where you are hamstrung. Because the elite guys make up for those 1 or 2 extra impact players you are missing. The franchise guys don't quite do that. I wouldnt even put Stafford there anymore. I think he's done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Depending on the type of PCL sprain, Lamar should be back no later than 4 weeks. The Ravens' next 4 games? The Steelers, the Browns, the Falcons, and the Steelers. Baltimore should be fine. They close out with Cincy. He will be back by then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak is extremely inconsistent and in no way worthy of the contract he signed. If JA was the QB got the Cowgirls that would 100% be the best team in football 3 years running. Agree, but whats the alternative? Let him go and start over and hope you get someone better? The odds aren't in their favor. The year Allen was drafted was rated as one of the all time best QB classes ever, second to 1983. Look at it now, one superstar, one very good, (Jackson) 2 FA, and one starting right now, but more out of desperation. The simple answer is the Cowboys should have paid him less. But Dak would had to have agreed to that and not very likely he would have as some other team just as dumb and just as desperate as Dallas would have offered him as much, maybe even more to leave Dallas. Teams sign these guys, fringe stars to contracts only worthy of the elite and cross their fingers that maybe he'll improve even just a little bit as a little bit could get them over the top. Will be interesting to see what happens in Baltimore. Will Jackson realize his ship has passed and he needs to sign for less or again will some other team think they can fix him and offer him the big bucks. Likely he'll be tagged, but that only works so long. That's also a big risk on Jackson's part, more than the average player as much as he gets banged up. I'll bet the big bucks from some team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Jackson is crazy. The Ravens offered him the right contract. He just wanted to be fully guaranteed like Watson. I dont think he is worth that and I think the team is stupid if they pay that. I also thought the Murray contract was stupid. As for Dak... I think that was fine. I think they were stupid for paying Zeke instead at first. Edited December 6, 2022 by Scott7975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his throws the last few weeks have been really impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what point does that stop being ignored as if it were the exception? I see the raw talent but he’s as dumb as a box of rocks. Hurts, when I watch, seems to consistently avoid dumb mistakes. Personally I’d move him up. I agree with others moving Stafford down based on age/health. Does Tua fit in your “after that” group? I’d guess that Lawrence will get there and Watson will re-emerge at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d guess that Lawrence will get there and Watson will re-emerge at some point. The top 7 wasn't necessarily a ranking so much as it was the order I thought of them. I take the point on Herbert, I have commented on his 3rd Quarter disappearing acts and I get it, if they miss the playoffs this year he is 0-3 but I am also not as in love with the Chargers roster as other people and two of their best players - Bosa and Slater - are on IR. I think they are a less well coached version of the Bills in a sense in that week after week I see them asking Herbert to do too much. The Bills are better, Allen is better and McDermott is better... but they also have a tendency to ask the QB to do too much. I don't move folks down on age or health. Only performance and I am generally slow to move people up and down. Tua is an example of that. Based on this year he absolutely has a case to be in that next group. But 10 games isn't a big enough sample size. I give Hurts a bit more leeway because I think he was very clearly trending this way last year. 15 minutes ago, CSBill said: My 2 cents, current (as in, not based on past performance or future projections), and not in order, just grouped: Top Tier Allen Mahomes Burrow The Next Level Herbert Rodgers Brady Lamar Hurts Emerging (or Emerged and descending) Tagovailoa Prescott Stafford Carr Lawrence Garoppolo Who am I missing?

Should 29 teams just go "oh well we have no chance, let's suck and hope we get an Allen, Mahomes, Burrow" ?? Only one of whom was a #1 pick.

K D Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 If it was Jackson's ACL I wonder what would have happened. They would not be giving a running QB with a bum knee anything close to their previous offer. So they would probably try to tag him and maybe he holds out. I think everyone involved got lucky it's only a PCL injury. They are going to have to sign him and the longer they wait the more expensive it becomes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
