Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)

4-3 d with Long at one DE and Orakpo at the other. I think the feeling is Po is better suited for a 4-3 End. the move would put Quinn at a LB spot or possibly Po at a LB spot. Rams are looking for a QB rushing complement to Long.


Neither Quinn nor Orakpo are gonna make good 4-3 LBs. They are both just pass rushers, and any alignment with those 2 and Long is going to have major problems.

So if we trade up to 2nd its RGIII for Orakpo & #6 pick & next yrs 1st am I missing any picks SS.

What's that mean Orakpo is worth a 2nd? Fugg that.

I can't believe speculation about trading up is already hot and heavy; but hey its combine time.

I understand that this franchise wants a franchise QB.
But I don't get the level of angst.
There are really only 4 QB 'needy' teams and outside of Miami I don't see how the other teams desire for a QB rivals ours.
The way I see it there are 4 teams with different levels of need for a franchise QB.
But there are 4 candidates:
o Manning who's actually a franchise QB
o Flynn, Griffin and Tannehill potential franchise QBs

o One of the 3 will end up with Manning
o Flynn and Miami seem destined for each other linking the Philbin the teacher with Flynn the star pupil
o Seattle doesn't seem desparate enough to leap frog to the 2nd spot
o Cleveland is very unlikely to trade up to spots

I don't see a problem.
We sit back and let the draft come to us.
I have full faith that come training camp we'll either have a franchise QB (Manning) or a potential franchise QB or both.

Wow, that's a surprising rumor.
Must come from Osweiller's camp, I can't imagine any team is looking at Osweiller anywhere near 12.

Yeah, well Quinn was a bust to begin with, very poor pick. Po at one end and Long at the other would be a nice tandem in a 4-3. Quinn wasnt even a starter last year, on the depth chart he played behind someone at the other end position.

He was a 21 year old rookie. People on message boards may pass judgement on players' careers that quickly, but coaches and personnel men do not.

He had 5 sacks, btw, which a whopping 2.5 less than Kerrigan, who stayed in school 4 years and is 2 years older than Quinn.

Any word if the Colts are moving to a 3-4? If so, would Rak be an enticing offer to them along with picks? Just wondering.

Yes, they are. And yes, he would be. Assuming they are going to let Mathis go, or trade Freeney. Or both.

And, of course, assuming that they are even thinking about trading the pick.

I think giving up next years first rounder is a little too much.

TBH I am not sold on this move or any other that finds us giving away a ton of picks or solid players for a 50/50 chance to hit on a QB prospect. Sure it could work out, but with all the holes this team has I just don't see this being a great move.

I am also wondering why so many in this thread have us trading players who aren't under contract. LL, FD, and Fletch all are not on our roster anymore. I also don't see the team signing the players to deals just to trade them.
