What's Stopping Nick Foles From Being the 3rd Best Quarterback in the Draft? - Mocking The Draft (http://www.mockingthedraft.com/2012/1/31/2762533/whats-stopping-nick-foles-from-being-the-3rd-best-quarterback-in-the)
Good read. I am not one of Foles Followers because of the footwork issue. It's not a minor thing and it costs him velocity on his throws.

IDK, I'm just not understanding the Bradford crave. I just don't get it. If he was really as good as people think then why wouldn't the Rams feel the same way and want to keep him and get some weapons or OL help? I just see us buying a Mustang for a Ferrari price so the Rams can go out and pick up a Corvette. Why don't we just try and get the Corvette? I know I know we are, but why should we make it any easier for the Rams? If they don't want to give us the #2 pick then screw them let them take RGIII and have Bradford on their roster or atleast until they decide to cut Bradford which won't happen.
Why do some of us want a 7th round Flynn? because he has been tutored by one of the best Rogers (discount double check). I'm also interested in Hoyer but he's a RFA so we would have to give up something for him. Flynn we do not cause he's a FA. I'd offer him the world and make him the starter. Bring in the best WR on the board or TE depending on what they do with Davis. Then I'd take a QB in the second round whoever is available for developement. Wilson? Cousins? Weeden? whoever.

RGIII without us having to trade up..
Manning is cut-signs with the Cardinals
Kolb is cut-signs with the Browns (Has a history with Schurmer and Heckert in Philly)
Flynn signs with the Dolphins
Campbell signs with the Seahawks
By default, we are the only ones (other than Indy) with a true QB need and the impetus to trade up is gone.

That would be nice but thats a lot of ifs and maybes.

I can't imagine all of those things happening... I honestly don't think Manning will play another snap in the NFL (and that move dictates a ton of what happens in your scenario).

Honestly, I'm leaning 70-30 that Manning is done as well but if he's not, here's why my scenario is plausible..
Arizona represents his best chance of getting back to the Super Bowl. They have a strong defense, a stud WR and a 1,200 yd back in Wells. They are really a QB away..
If they make that move, they can release Kolb (still having Skelton as a backup) before his $7 million roster bonus is due on the 5th day of the new league year..
The Browns aren't fully committed to replacing McCoy but Kolb improves competition and has a history in their offense, with the coach and GM. Also allows them to keep their 2 first round picks while improving at QB.
The Dolphins/Flynn match is too perfect. The Philbin connection is there, he knows the offense, the only downside is they still lack a 'face' of the franchise.
The only other team with a question at QB is Seattle.. It's a low profile team, moderate expectations and the perfect fit for Campbell-the only other starting QB on the market. He is an upgrade over Jackson and can stabilize their offense. Also, with Tom Cable there a level of comfort already exists with the offense.
No other team would be as motivated to move up into the top 5 for RGIII.
Sure it's a lot of 'what if' and is dependent on Manning being healthy but it could happen.
That being said, if Manning is healthy a likely pairing of Manning/Tannehill in DC is just as plausible if not more.

I'd probably be down with a Manning/Tannehill pairing

That's about the only scenario I'd be happy with for either of them to be in DC. I'm concerned about Manning's health and think Tannehill is at least 2-3 years away from being a reliable starter. Don't want one without the other.

And Childress is also in Cleveland

No I purposely left him off because I know GMScud is a fan, and I don't want him rigging the votes
How could you forget Chase Daniel?! FA or not, I think come September he will be our new starting quarterback!
