Who are the sucker teams who will trade for a starting QB this offseason?
 

For once I get to sit back, watch, point, and laugh at the other teams who hinge their immediate futures on unproven backup QBs. Or at least I hope I will. I'm anticipating that Mallett and Cousins will both be traded. You just need a team in a bad enough draft position who's dumb enough to make those deals.

What do you think?

Vick isn't a backup. He'll should be starting somewhere. Maybe Bengals? Replace the ginger?

The surprise team might be the Bengals, who may be in the market for competition for Dalton.

I think Bengals go after Cousins.

Vick is nothing more than a runner with a great arm.

He still can't read defenses.

Bingo.

And HORRIBLE decision making skills.

If the Texans don't draft Johnny Manziel first they are going to trade for a QB.

He has the same QBR of Eli Manning and Andrew Luck. He's not that bad.

The more pertinent question for Chiefs fans is what kind of head-scratching move they'll make that will kill the 2014 season in March or April.

I think the Browns will trade for Cousins.

1) Because the Browns are the kind of stupid team to do it
2) Kyle Shanahan

He has his moments but he does make some horrid ****ing decisions.

Yup, he's Kaepernick with some tread on him.

Keep Lewis on the roster?

When his athletic ability begins to decline, come back and tell me this.

Agreed, which is why I think he'd be a solid fit with the Bengals. He'd be asked to do a lot less with that defense. Also, lets not act like he wasn't an NFL MVP candidate just a few short years ago. His decisions are bad, but not Cassel bad.

I think he will be out of the league by then. He has a FEW solid years left. Which is why someone needs to take advantage of this while they still can.

Couldn't agree more. That will happen this year, no doubt.

I dunno man. I'm thinking he's definitely on the decline. He may have a solid season or two left but I really think he has difficulties grasping new systems. I know Dalton had his issuesast year but I don't think the Bengals will tailor an offensive scheme around an aging QB.

What exactly would teams be taking advantage of?

Year after year, everyone gets excited about these athletic QBs that can make plays with their legs.

Year after year, it's the QBs that make plays from the pocket that win SBs.

If Manning is done, Donks.

Faid need to do something and have cap money.

Cleveland probably.


St Loser may be a Dark Horse.

Houston if they don't draft one high.

Tacks they dump Locker.

Potentially TB.

I could see the Iggles try something because Chip Kelley thinks he is the smartest person in the room.

Yes he is

God, if Chip is dumb enough to even think about touching his QB situation, he should be shot.
Vick's out, go get a solid, boring backup like Cassel and ride it out.

Two uber-talented players I'm less than impressed with...

Agree. But I see the possibility. And my god would that be entertaining.

Can't get more boring than Cassel

Then Vick will be a horrible Matt Schaub.

I think the draft will be worse, honestly. My opinion from a year ago hasn't changed - I still think Bridgewater is the best QB in this draft, even though every man, woman and child south of Waco wants the Texans to draft Manziel. Rumors are even going around that Blake Bortles will be the first pick :facepalm:

My fear is that Oakland stumbles into Bridgewater.

what will the Chargers do when they finaly put Rivers on Ritalin?

Cousins to Cleveland is likely.

Oh, I don't know.... how about the fact that he's fastest QB in the NFL paired with arguably the best arm in the NFL?

Last two SB's have featured running QB's. Granted Wilson passed more than ran, but do you think if Peyton didn't have feet made of stone that game would have been a little more competitive?

Rumor is the Raiders may trade Pryor and a pick for Kirk Cousins

Rumor is the only QB the Raiders will take is Bridgewater , if he isn't there they will trade down a little to get Watkins

Matt Flynn the sequel… seems logical for the Raiders.

I know he was a FA, but I bet the Saints regret taking a risk signing Brees...

Teams need a QB. You can't always draft one you like.

Yea, that would not be good

Personally I think McGloin can handle the job and I hope the Raiders build around him ... The kid is a winner

LMAO

OK... Tell me whats wrong with him except being a little short?

He is smart as hell
He can make all the throws
He is confident in the pocket...


Raiders have a team full of marginal WR's and TE's #2's at best and #3s on most good teams...

It's all about to change, with a full slate of picks and plenty money to spend, the Raiders are over the hump and will be a helluva lot better soon...

Laugh and giggle all you want but this game is about money and the Raiders have it now.

This is who I want in Silver and Black

He helps his wife with the laundry.

That Sumbitch is a wife beater then LMAO

WHAT THE **** ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?????????????????

I do not understand this statement.

It wont decline enough for the qb position. He will be who he is scrambling wise his whole career. He will retire before his scrambling/running ability effects how he plays the qb position.

Wilson is a pocket passer with the ability to make plays with his legs.

Kaepernick is, at this point in his career, a running QB with a strong.

In their respective SBs, when they needed to make plays with their arms, Wilson delivered, Kaepernick didn't.

The same can be said in their matchup against each other in the NFC Championship this year.

I am not suggesting that "statues" win, though you could argue that a statue won last year against a running QB with an arm.

I am telling you that SBs are won by QBs that make plays with their arms, and their heads.

That, in no way, despite the cannon, describes Vick.

If anybody care, here is my wish list

Short version
1-Resign Veldheer and Houston
2- Draft Sammy Watkins
3 Pick up Alex Mack via FA
4 Some help at getting to the QB with Houston

TWO quarterbacks in NFL history have started less than one season's worth of games in their careers, got traded to a different team, and then went to a Super Bowl with that team.

Brett Favre and Matt Hasselbeck.

This isn't about signing/trading for veteran QBs. This is about putting your team in the hands of unproven backup QBs that other teams try to scam off with the hopes of coming out at the end with extra draft picks in their pockets. It's not a very good strategy. It's not productive. At all.

You may as well sign a stopgap and then draft a midrounder if there aren't any appealing options. It has the same exact chance of paying out, and at least then you're not helping out douchebag teams like the Patriots and Redskins who so ****ing OBVIOUSLY made those QB picks so they could trade them away later.

Okay, cool.

Go take a look at Vick's 2010 and 2011 season. Are those the stats of a QB that lacks play making ability using their arm and a plastic bag for a brain? I mean honestly? Your giving him such little credit it's ridiculous. I never said he was elite. I said he could start somewhere... which he most definitely can and will.

Matt Cassell is available.

I think McGloin is a dangerous QB... ticks me off he's on the dark bus, but it's the short bus too so I'm not too worried.

boosh!

I wonder what Cleveland will give up to get Cousins, gotta think Wash will want a 2nd for him. While it's probably in Washington's best interest to trade Cousins now, they ain't gonna give him away.

Are you new here?

Stats mean jack to me.

My opinion is based on my observations, not numbers.

Vick can't read defenses, and he is a poor decision maker as a result.

That's funny but not as funny as 43-8 :doh!:

Jags. Or they'll get one in the 2nd. That's the last round they could realistically get one worth a darn.

Vick is done....

I don't want him at any price

Browns fans have a sense of humor about their ongoing QB train wreck at least…

I think the Pats would be stupid to trade Mallett, they've been grooming that guy for several years and Brady isn't getting any younger, he's just one good crushing tackle away from missing a bunch of games.

Is there a possibility that someone tries to trade for Chase Daniel? His start in week 17 was solid. Matt Flynn got GB a first round pick from one good game. I'm not saying anyone would give a first for him. But maybe a 3rd? I would love to see KC get an extra pick in the top 100 to somewhat offset the 2nd that went for Alex. Then it opens up the opportunity to draft a QB high.

As an MU fan, would hate to see it
As a Chiefs fan, would love to see it
As a realistic fan, ain't gonna happen

It's crazy to think about how the Seahawks were one of those sucker teams in 2012 when they got Matt Flynn. Fortunately their organization wasn't so stuck on Flynn that they made him the starting QB for four years like the Chiefs did with Cassel.

Seriously? Admittedly I don't pay much attention to teams that we rarely play, but isn't Dalton pretty good?

Seattle signed Flynn in free agency, they didn't trade for him

He plays small in big games.

I thought they traded for him. I guess not. Still, there have been several backup QB's over the years traded for by teams other than the Chiefs(Although KC has probably trade for more than any other team). And I agree with afchief on all 3 counts

So does Peyton manning and people think he's the greatest

I have never been one that believed Manning was the greatest.

I've argued for years that he and Brett Favre are the 2 most overrated ever.

That being said, Dalton's small is substantially smaller than Manning's.

The Seahawks didn't trade for Flynn, dumbass

Does Dalton have a win over Balt or Pitt yet?

Dalton is an absolute scrub come playoff time.

The thing about McLovin' is that he's an UDFA. The expectations for him were pretty nonexistent. The guy walked onto Penn State, then somehow wound up walking onto an NFL team where he was brought in to be a camp arm and wound up starting. The kid has moxie, you've gotta give him that. I think his ceiling is a good backup, though frankly he hasn't had the greatest to work with, either. I was shocked, though. He seemed to look like he actually knew what he was doing a lot of times. They need to draft a rookie (hopefully Bridgewater or Manziel) and then sign a vet like Schuab. Pryor is just not the answer...

The Raiders right now remind me of the 2008 Chiefs.

A portion of the fans really love the undrafted guy (Thigpen) while the franchise had just spent a season initially unrolling a plan to investigate the merits of a young middle-round QB. Both QBs seem to be okay depth, but neither should be trusted with a starter's job.

The difference here is the Raiders are in a position to possibly take Bridgewater in the draft. The Chiefs thought Matt Cassel was the best option.

Your move, Raiders. You can learn from history or you can repeat it.

what about the Vikings? they don't have time with AP to develop a rookie do they? Do they chance one of these veterans or proven backups?

Vick to Minnesota? Vick and AP seems likely.

Who gives a shit? They acquired a QB they thought would start but also drafted a young guy and then started him over the guy they had invested 26 million dollars in.

I don't care if KC acquired Cassel by hook or by crook, their overzealous commitment to him regardless of the results was devastating.

Seems like ap would be the best security blanket a young qb could have. Play action until he gets his head out of his ass.

I don't think Bridgewater will last that long.... I still want Sammy Watkins on this team

AP is getting up there for a QB. They are in win now mode. Ponder was their attempt at a young QB and he failed. They'll get a vet in there.

Vick isn't even worth a debate, he's trash.

As always, milkman is right about him. He's a running QB he can make plays when a defense is out of position, worried about him taking off. When it comes to actually making plays with his arm in the pocket, he's a complete failure. That's even more true now that he's old.

Not many good ones out there.

If the Texans go defense with 1.1, I bet they trade for Mallet. In fact, early on I was pretty sure that was going to be the case. However, recently there is much talk about them going with Johnny Football at 1.1.

If Houston is smart, they'll take Manziel.

Forget about winning games, football is about sales. Manziel staying in Texas would be ****ing BANK.

You got THAT right. That's definitely what the majority of the population wants. Rumor has it that the owner is with them. However, O'Brien likes tall pocket passing QB's for the NFL and really likes Mallet from his time spent in New England...Sound familiar? :shake:

That would just be so sad.

On the flip side, can you believe this is the third time the Texans have had the first overall pick? I'm starting to think they are destined to **** it up.

They need to draft Manziel, purely because if he sucks, everyone will blame the player, not the franchise. You have a get-out-of-jail-free card by taking the most electric, in-state college player at a position of need.

Done and done. Moving on.

Now... St. Louis needs to take Clowney. They can still go with offensive line with their other first rounder and come back in the second for another pass catcher.
