Shocker

If we could get Stafford for a second rounder we really need to do it. I highly doubt it.

I don't see anything about Mac Jones that says starting QB in the NFL. I would rather have Trask to be honest.

Trading for Stafford does not keep us from drafting a successor in later drafts. He would be a good get, however I personally think he will go elsewhere, like the Colts and likely be more expensive than people think draft capital wise.

Watson is absolutely worth 3 first rounders. Consider this...the Browns have been looking for a top QB literally forever. You may think Mayfield is them finding one but the jury is out if he is that guy. Watson is that and building a team when you have your QB is much simpler IMO. Watson should be our top target, period. How many players the caliber of Watson have ever been available at his age? Cant think of many. Maybe Marshall Faulk? If he ends up leaving Houston someone has committed robbery.

Not much of a gap between Lance and Newman to me. Similar players with similar question marks.

Playoffs or bust IMO. Adding back a healthy CMC with Stafford and the rest of our draft picks. With no Brees and possibly no Brady? Definite division title dreams.

Stafford, stay far away from Lance

This makes no sense whatsoever. Yeah and my dog looks like a fuggin turtle. Lance is nothing like either of those guys. At all. A good comp is Jordan Love and no one really knows if either will ever be a decent starting QB in this league.

Starting 5 should be Lamelo, Rozier, Hayward, Bridges and whoever at center...probably PJ but the right guy ain't here yet.

By Peyton Manning I meant his reputation

Peyton Manning beating our asses in the Super Bowl does kinda undermine this idea. However, OP has a solid argument

Bama had the most Pro Bowlers in 2020 (7)

At least our new GM is an "evaluator" that doesn't sit on total bust draft picks to save his ego

Any chance we can get a ban for BurnNChinn please?

Honestly getting Stafford for #8 with Detroit taking back Teddy is a good move. Doesn't keep us from getting a QB of the future next year either. People are not seeing how risky these QBs are after Lawrence. Going up to #2 for Wilson would be expensive as hell for us and guarantees us nothing. He could totally bomb. No one knows. Plus his injury history on the shoulder?

Most everyone is thinking at least Lance is there for us but he could seriously end up going before Fields. 4 QBs taken 1-4 is absolutely possible.

Chris Jones and Wirfs

Fair enough. I am sure they will vet these guys as much as possible so if they choose Lance I’m cool with it.

Hypothetical trade time: Hornets get: Myles Turner Pacers get: Cody Zeller, Graham and Charlotte first round pick next year Any chance in hell that works?

While this is true and I don’t disagree, that assumes we view the 3 QBs after TL as equals. I don’t personally. If we cant get Wilson I would be willing to go to 5 for Fields but don't want Lance that high or even at 8. Again this forces our hand to go up even maybe to two.

Stating the obvious, as an example...if the Jets were to trade for Watson that would leave Houston at 2 and they take QB anyway. Highly likely that 3 QBs go before 8 and maybe 4 as another team probably moves up in front of us. We are going to have to move up IMO.

Chelsea is sacking Lampard and moving to Thomas Tuchel. I guess this is no big surprise except the timing and how quickly this is happening. Tuchel is definitely well regarded so will be interesting to see how he solves the lacking midfield play and defensive issues Chelsea have right now.

For those minimizing the importance of getting QB this offseason, fine. Don't say a fuggin word about Teddy Bridgewater next year. You don't get both.

Seriously Kelce is without question their most important player outside of Mahomes.
