I basically detailed out in the Sam Howell thread why guys like Winston are not long term viable candidates in the modern NFL.

The game has just shifted away from highly TO prone gunslingers.

I dunno - it worked out pretty well for Cleveland last year with Flacco until he crapped the bed in the playoffs against Houston.

And we still haven't gotten a chance to see Winston long term since getting lasik. He looked good for the Saints before getting hurt a few years ago.

Its possible he does well this year if so I will have to respond to this post eating crow, if he gets benched in next few weeks for wilson or allen it will say alot. But so far this year Byoung averaged 122 yards a game and fields average 136. 

What does it say about the opposing QB that he got beat by a QB throwing 136 yards?

 

Fields was never a big passing yardage guy to begin with. They basically asking him to run the ball and don't turn the ball over. He's doing his job.

Jimmy G, M. Rudolph or PJ Walker. Rudolph does have some pretty good stats last year despite limited playing time. He may finally be developing into an NFL QB. Could be a needle in the haystack.

And I think holding out on Manning is the best move. I believe he will be a generational QB.

The Manning's are not letting their nephew play for the worst owner in the NFL.

 

This Manning talk is just a pipe dream.

Unless Dalton or whoever we sign next year makes us competitive, at the very least. But then again, if we start to win games, we would miss out on him. Assuming we don't trade for the top spot again.

Even if we get the #1 pick he could stay in college to avoid us. Or he could simply demand he's not reporting to Carolina.

 

This is the Manning's they have power to get him to a decent franchise. It sounds good on paper, but in reality they won't let him play for Carolina.

Yeah, I can see that happening, but my only thing is, whoever he goes to, it's going to be a bad team. Not a whole lot of difference between us and say Denver, Jax, the Giants or the Colts. Of course, we're probably worse, but not by that much. Manning would have to pick his poison.

Andy Dalton.

Yeah - I agree.

I was not very fond of his mediocre performance when he was at New Orleans.

that being said, he does come across as being very stable.  The other choices may be very risky because you will not know how their performance will be.

I am a little bit, surprised that the Panthers do not have a third string quarterback.

Plummer can be activated on game day.

Back when Eli was in the draft, the reason they dodged the Chargers was because of Ryan Leaf.  Archie Manning did not believe that the Chargers as an organization did enough to support Leaf, and that he had almost no shot of succeeding there.  It's hard to imagine that they would feel any better about David Tepper post Bryce Young.

I believe Bryce has some good support here. We fired our HC after one season and brought in a QB guru and spent big money on guards. However, Young is just a straight-up bust. Young is what's burying this organization right now, along with some bad contracts. I have a gut-feeling that Dalton will make us more competitive and probably get a few wins. Next year would probably be similar as we continue to rebuild. We'll still be bad, but not as bad. I do believe, though, that Archie will want Denver as they're the more appealing bad team. Second being the Giants.

I feel the opposite. This is conspiracy time, but I feel there’s an argument to be made that if we are going long term (2026) Dan Morgan is playing the absolute long game, shore up the OL year 1, draft a first round WR, get Archie’s college teammate at RB and TE. In 2025 If he drafts a sure fire WR in round 1 or grabs Isiah Bond in R2, then I’ll really start believing it. All that being said, i don’t think that’s what’s happening
