I liked what I saw out of Allen, however; not lasting one game before getting hurt doesn't instill confidence he'll be a long term solution, and we still haven't heard what Allen's injury was or the severity of it.

I would like to bring in a journeyman type, someone who can run the team in case Cam has issues with recovery and Allen gets hurt again.

Vet

Too many glaring holes elsewhere on D and the OL

We can draft a rookie early incase Cam goes down.  But that rookie isnt going to able to guide the ship with the holes on D and OL filling it up with water.

 

Cam could come back this year.  If the same thing happens next year as this year with him, id start to worry then.  And grab a QB in .round 1 in a stronger QB class. 

 

The vet FA market should be good

Fitzpatrick 

Bridgewater

Tyrod Taylor hitting the open market

 

Most expecting Flacco and Tannehill to be cut

We're def signing a veteran QB but think more along the lines of Trevor Siemian, Brock Osweiler, or AJ McCarron, if he gets cut.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Why waste money on a questionable FA. Roll with what we have and maybe look for a gem in the later rounds. IMO

Sounds good, if Newton seems like he'll be out for a year go for Tyrod, otherwise put Cam on the PUP to start the season and let Allen get some playing time until he gets back.

I wouldn’t have a problem with Bridgewater or Flacco for what we need.

I know, Bridgewater look awful in the week 17 game, but let’s face it, that was essentially a preseason game in December.  I don’t put a lot of stock in much from that game.

As for Flacco, bar fights have occurred over how good or bad he is.  But we are looking for somebody to maybe run the offense if and when Cam is absent and assuming Allen is not the answer (and he should get a shot, too).  If Flacco is our answer and he is the starter three years from now, something went seriously wrong.

My caveat on both Bridgewater and Flacco is I would not focus on them at any cost.  The dollars have to be right, which is why I mention them.  After all, these are options for the short-term.  Could be a few weeks, could be a few plays here and there, could even be a stop gap if the worst case with his shoulder comes true.  If that happens, next year’s draft is more likely to be where the long-term answer would lie.

I don’t have a problem with Taylor in that role, either, I just think he is going to be too expensive.  It is possible all three will be priced out of what we can pay, considering we have other needs.

My dream scenario is they find a Brady, Wilson type player in the later rounds and groom him to take over. 

That guy prob doesn’t exist ( not that I believe Hurney is capable finding him ), so I’m thinking they’ll bring in the cheapest vet they can and have him compete with Allen.
