The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

Awesome post and information. Thanks.

They are going to franchise their TE, not Flynn. The Skins aren't even interested in Flynn.

Packers' Raji gets more out of playing less - JSOnline (http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-raji-gets-more-out-of-playing-less-ka3clct-135362458.html)
They were going to franchise thier TE. Now they can draft one with the pick they recieve, or just sign him. Matt Flynn is going to bring a first or second round pick. Maybe we end up trading our first for thiers. Maybe we are not even players. But I have heard two former Gm's say they would give a first for him if they were the Redskins.

Fisher's agent is the father of the Rams' Chief Operating Officer.

Apparently Fisher's first choice was the Chargers and the chance to be back home in California and coach Phillip Rivers. But now with Turner likely returning, he's looking elsewhere

The appeal of Bradford in St. Louis is definitely there for Fisher. But there's also been speculation he may bring in someone like Orton and move Bradford for picks to build up the team
That would be one stupid move in my opinion. I would lose all respect for Fisher if he did that.

Anybody that would give up a first rounder for Flynn is a ****ing idiot. Vinny is no longer a GM so I seriously doubt any would. If these guys actually said they would give up a first rounder for Flynn, I can see why they are "former" GMs.


Also, nobody is going to pay Flynn a 16million dollar salary if he's franchised either. Not going to happen.

We don't want to trade our 1st and 2nd for Bradford. Possibly one or the other. More likely this year's 1st plus future high picks. It's tough to know right now because no one knows who is going to be running the Rams

I wouldn't take Jones or Tannehill at #6. But I don't think either falls below 12-15. With QBs though, there's always the possibility someone reaches.

I could end up being totally wrong here. But I liken the Flynn talk to Peppers from a couple of years ago. When just about everyone was linking Julius Peppers to the Redskins, and what did I repeatedly say here? The Redskins had no interest and he wasn't coming here...and he didn't

What would be interesting is to see if they think they can drop back & still get Jones or Tannehill. If Blakmon is still there at 6 I think some offers could come in. If a J. Jones type offer comes in, that's too good to pass up even if you need a franchise qb.

If STL prefers RGIII over Bradford, they can't possibly get two first day picks for him. Not for Bradford's contract and his history of injuries. Teams should call their bluff.

You are wrong. There is only a few peolpe in the world that ever get to be GMs. There is never more than 32 at any given time, and there are 7 billion people in the world. His cap figure would be 14 million. His contract would be re-negotiated prior to anyone giving anything. Good QBs are more rare than GM's. There are only ten in 7 billion. As much as we hate Rex Grossman, he is the 28 th best quarterback in the world. I am going to post the last ten years of first round quarterbacks taken so you can see how few really succeed.

what is so great about hoyer? hes never done anything in the pros and wasnt heralded in the draft either, so what is the deal with his hype?

same goes for flynn, because he was even being hyped before he had the 1 good game. 7th round pick, no nfl pedigree, backup. what made these guys attractive options to begin with? i dont understand.

Im thinking that if STL trades Bradford it will be with the intentions to move up and get Luck. Like they give up their second overall pick, plus our 6th overall pick they got from us for Bradford.
