WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021

If we can manage to grab Lance / Fields I'd be all in on that. Mariota to me won't make us some legit offense so why trade a 2nd or 3rd for the guy? Plus he's had big time injury concerns...

I am leaning this way as well - if they can move up a few spots to grab one of the top 4. Although, I think they should add a QB (2-3 year deal) in free agency first.

Heinicke has been injured in every NFL game he has started.

Allen is coming off a bad ankle injury.

Smith falls down when he tries to move out of the pocket.

I don't think we can afford to lean on the QBs currently on the roster. That would be complete negligence and reason for a revolt.

Smith is being released.

Allen - I assume we tender him as an ERFA. Cheap no brainer unless his ankle is that bad.

Heinike - injury prone in very small sample size. Still an unknown and Im fighting my inner urge to just dismiss him outright as just not looking like an NFL player bc he did move the ball in that small sample size.

We dont have a starter level Qb and the Qbs we have under contract are injury prone and less than average even if healthy.

Its not an ideal situation. Overpaid vet who cant play anymore and 2 journeyman QBs, coming off injuries, that nobody else wanted.

Solution? name of our week 1 starter? I have no idea but I dont think he is currently on the roster. Lots of things to happen, trades, players cut, maybe a draft move up. Maybe Mac Jones or Trey lance falls?

im excited to be in this position though. good cap position, full load of draft picks. Office full of NFL execs and scouts "all on the same page".

Good time to be a skins fan.

I don't think a 2nd or 3rd are in the discussions about Mariota. His salary being what it is, teams aren't inclined to give up a 2nd or 3rd on top of paying him.
IMO, the question is whether a team offers a 4th or if a 5th will do it.

Yeah, I didn't realize his salary was so prohibitive for LV. I don't think they can afford for him to come back to be honest, and if Carr gets hurt they could end up paying him at an even higher premium.

They'll probably end up taking a later round pick for him or just releasing him and promoting Peterman.

The smart move to me would be for them to take what they can get sooner rather than later, before teams begin to fill their needs with other options.

Yeah the Raiders don't have any leverage with Mariota. I'd offer up a 5th right now. I kind of scoffed at the thought initially, but now I think he could be an intriguing fit in this offense. A more athletic Kyle Allen basically.

MM does 0 for me. Ziltch. Nada. But I would take him over Alex at this point in their careers. We already know what he is. Lower tier starter. Doesn't come off as a leader to me. He is a JAG w/ really good mobility. Doesn't even have a 4,000 season.

I'm just not a big fan of getting journeymen QBs.. I'd rather just roll with what we have now and add our own Rookie.

Watson and Dak are the exceptions of course but neither will happen

Ok so MM is off the table is your opinion; you stayed in your post like something had happen with him. He is still on the table just not your table.

I’d bring in any QB we can find. Maybe someone blossoms in a new setting. I figure the more (reasonable) chances we take, we have to hit one someone. Who is due more than us?

Draft and develop. We should draft a QB every year.

That’s how we ended up with Schroeder, Rypien and Frerotte. Can’t hurt.
