...What would YOU do, to fix the QB situation. Lets hear it.

I imagine the best thing to do would be sign a decent FA QB like McNabb and build around him.

With the pick we could trade away for Luck we would get so much compensation that Hurney could still use his "build through the draft" philosophy he loves so much. Except for the QB signing haha.

Again your right the CBA is the only reason he didn't spend this year and yes the season is over for us. So after that is worked out he will go back to doing what he has 2. Too put a winning team on the field. He has already admitted the mistake in his thinking this year. He knows he will lose the Fan base and the respect of other owner if he makes a statement like that. Thats not just stupid it's suicide. Yes JP made 100 million but JR didn't have too agree too franchise him so he can make 100 million if he was cheap he would have let him go last year and Jake would still be on this team.

a league source confirmed Thursday. Peppers’ franchise number is $16.683 million, but it is hardly the money that Peppers wants.

JR isn't worried about filling seats, they are paid for. He will splurge on FA's after a new CBA is approved. I don't expect much before then, hopefully I'm wrong.

It amazes me how may people on these forums are completely clueless. Bottom line: It's a QB league. If you don't have a great QB you might as well have nothing. Luck has the potential to be a great QB. You draft him and fill in the holes around him. It's a roll of the dice. But every team has to roll those dice every now and then.

Would you say Matt Ryan is an elite QB?

A new OC/HC would be huge. QB would probably be needed also after this season.

Qb/HC/OC would be the answer. How many times do you see Clausen throwing the ball to a RB or TE that's 3 yards behind the line and the play is either a 2 yard gain or a 3 yard loss, Especially when you can see some of our receivers in the background, wide open, and not think with better playcalling and QB decisions, we'd be better?

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
