Trubisky is waaaaay better and higher potential than Teddy ever was but I wouldn’t want those contracts combined. If we can’t score a QB in the draft or trade for Watson and can unload Teddy’s contract somehow, I’d be good with Trubisky on a 1 or 2 year deal. Wouldn’t want to trade more than a 5th or later, if trading is necessary

I agree with them. With a good QB, a couple OL and maybe a MLB we’re in business.

Out WR corps is infinitely better now than when we had Ginn. But I still would rather keep Curtis, especially if he can be signed at $10mil a year or less

So the best thing to ever happen to this organization and only reason we had any success at all in the past ten years is what you choose to use as a negative example? I like a QB who can energize a team, this “even keeled” stuff is what you get with a Teddy. Rogers, Brady, Favre, Manning, Brees, they all got fired up and emotional in games. Sure there are examples of good QBs who don’t, like Russell Wilson, but I’d rather have a leader like the previous examples. Not trying to poo on the OP too much, I just disagree. Don’t think interviews have anything to do with game performance.

Derek Carr. If he can be had for cheap as the article says, then hell yea. Spend that 1st rd pick on an OT and Carr can be our QB for the next few years at least. He’s a good QB that’s been in a bad situation most of his career. If he can be had as cheap as a second rd pick or less, I’d probably rather that than any QB in the draft not named Lawrence or Wilson.

Jimmy G is easily better than Teddy. The injury thing is a concern, but Jimmy isn’t someone I’d want to hitch our wagon to anyway. Only reason to do this is to get an extra pick while the 9ers offload a contract. I assume Teddy’s is more manageable than Jimmy’s so it’s not a trade for QBs insomuch as it’s a trade our cap space for their draft pick, which we use to move up and get a QB

Jimmy G and a second for Teddy? Sure. If the lions can get extra picks for bad contracts we can too right?

Meh

Could replace his name with Joe Person or any number of others and it would be equally true, heh

Also, this. Neither Lance nor Fields are worth trading up that much for IMO

We’re not moving CMC to move up for a rookie QB. I could see it for Watson, but not for a rookie. I also don’t think next years first is worth that low. It’s less than this years obviously but not less than our second round pick. I’d say it’s worth around pick 32 or 33, since we’re picking so high this year and common thought would be that we’re going to pick pretty high again next year. I’d offer this year’s first and second and next year’s second. Maybe throw in a second tier player if need be, like Shaq (lol if only). Maybe even Robbie, but doubtful considering his connection with Rhule. Possibly Samuel, though I’d hate that more than Robbie to be honest.

Well I hope Joe Person finally makes some poo stick to the wall in this case

I was onboard with the op til it started stumping for Mac Jones.

You lost any semblance of credibility when you said fuller and cooks are better than anything we have.

Holy poo I’m glad we didn’t try to outbid THAT

Where did it say anything about confirmed? “Per league sources” never screams confirmed to me. And anything from Joe Person is more like “confirmed to be the opposite.” Stafford would be great here but I just don’t want to give up a 1st or any legit young talent. He looked weathered this year and I’m not confident he’d be a 5+ year answer. If he would be, then absolutely. This “we’re multiple years away from contending” nonsense is tired groupthink. We get a great or better QB and we’re in the hunt this year. Tag or sign Moton and whatever other scrubs we replenish the OL with makes it better than ‘15 when we dominated the regular season and playoffs until we ran into the buzzsaw of the refs and Shula’s incompetence finally catching up to us. Our offensive skill players are infinitely better than that year. Our defense is worse but not by as much as I think most believe. They’re so young and we’re getting better and better. I think they’ll be a solid 10-15 in the rankings, maybe even higher. There’s no reason we can’t be legitimate a threat next year with Stafford or Watson. If 5/8 of our 1 score losses were flipped to wins this year we probably would have been in the playoffs. And the leap from Bridgewater to Stafford/Watson is ginormous, I definitey think we would have had 10+ wins this year even without CMC. Next year we’ll have CMC and a more experienced young defense. If we draft a QB, I think we’re maybe another year or two away from being legit but it’ll be a more long term situation.

Should have just let Cam play out his contract. He looked bad on a team with the worst roster in the NFL (at least definitely offensively) but he probably would have been better here. Better than Teddy at the very least but that is a comically low bar. Doesn’t matter if he wanted a new deal, I guarantee he wouldn’t hold out or be disruptive over it, that’s never been who he’s shown himself to be. And even if moving on from him was unavoidable (it wasn’t) then signing Bridgewater (who MANY of us said was a terrible move from the start) made the situation even worse.

Three firsts and this year’s second? Tough pill to swallow but if it means a long term franchise QB, you do what you gotta

And we also keep Moton. Tag or long term deal

We trade the next three firsts for Watson and there’s this little thing called the rest of the draft where we can invest heavily on the OL.

Teddy isn’t getting better. Many of us called this as soon as he signed. He’s not a second year player. He is who he is. He is an acceptable backup, very far from a starter. Even without CMC last year he had more weapons than most QBs are afforded.

Oof not for our first no thank you. Maybe our second.

OL or CB. Absolutely nothing else. We sure af don’t need another first round non-pass rushing LB or offensive skill position even if we lose Curtis. But the only real answer is QB. I can’t watch more than another couple games of Bridgewater.

This whole idea that we’d HAVE to send one of our good young players is absolute speculation and grounded in nothing, but if for some reason it works out that way, it’d be Moore imo. Anderson, Samuel and find a WR in the 2nd or 3rd to replace Moore. That that we’d necessarily find someone as good, but it’s possible. Been a lotta really good WRs coming out of the 2nd round and later lately. Moore would be the easiest to replace
