Watson not the only big name vet at QB that we're looking at?

[ncfan]

Was listening to the Mac Attack this morning on WFNZ.  Mac mentioned he reached out to his sources in the organization about the Watson smoke after the Report the other day.

He said he was told that we are "doing our due diligence looking into possibilities to get Matt Stafford as well."

 

Smells like Tepper wants his QB, and is going to get one, one way or another.

Now thats interesting.  I would be totally fine with Stafford and the weapons we have on offense.  He could put up video game numbers in our system.

Would likely be a whole helluva lot cheaper than Watson as wel.

Now just saw the report that we signed his and Watson's old QB coach

Hope were just trying to throw teams off the scent, this team needs to be zeroing in on a rookie QB

The same matt Stafford that PJ walker out played 20-0 a few months ago?

[Moo Daeng]

WAAAAAAAAAY more reasonable contract to trade for.

Lions GM said recently...

“I just want to evaluate the whole roster, and when you evaluate the entire roster, including the quarterback, everything is on the table,”

He can’t have many years left and gets injured pretty often. I’d rather have a rookie I think....

Why can't we have both?

[Moo Daeng]

Both would not be bad.

$33M in '21

$26M in '22

Whoooooo, that's a lotta dough. Obvy, Bridgewater would have to be part of any deal, but with a lot of areas of need and sending draft picks to get Stafford, I'm not a fan.

It would be great to have him here, but a 33 year old non-mobile QB with an OL that is in need of at least 2 (maybe 3) new players, I don't think Suleiman can make this happen. The draft picks that would have to be sent would severely hamper our adding talent via the draft on cheap deals for the next year or two.

I'll take anything over teddy

It certainly wouldn't prevent us from drafting one this draft.  Finding someone to dump Teddy on will be difficult.

It would be expensive.  We need more player's than just QB.
