WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021

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.

“Let’s take Marcus Mariota... Washington was interested [in a trade], I don’t think they’re interested any more.

I'm sure they are still interested, just not for the compensation LV wants. Their price will likely come down as we inch closer to free agency.

Probably should have quoted that to start , been less confusing

Ha ! I hear u

I just went searching for something on mm after you posted that.

I hope we don’t get mm, spinning tires.

5th round pick will do it, just like I said all along.

Washington Football Team
Projected 2021 starter: Ryan Fitzpatrick


Washington is in the same category as the Patriots: in need of a quarterback addition but too far down the draft order to count on that as the avenue to address it. Fitzy is about as well-traveled as any other player in the league over the past 15 years, but he continues to play at a strong enough level to merit starting consideration. It's often a roller coaster with him under center, but he has an infectious energy that cannot be discounted. We saw it last year in Miami when he helped the team in a few gotta-have-it situations.

Field Yates

I have said before I'm not averse to Fitzmagic, though I wouldn't go hell for leather after him. He's likely to be in demand as a bridge QB for anyone picking up a rookie in the draft. Probably with the exception of the Jags and Panthers. If we are going the route of trying to find a diamond in round 2 or 3, then I'd consider him a better 1 year option than any other FA, and probably Mariota.

Question; say for example our QB room was Mariota, Allen and Heinicke going into the draft (whether we traded for MM or not), would you be OK if we didn't come away with a rookie QB if we couldn't see a good enough guy when we pick?

If you are talking about pick #19, the answer is yes. I would rather them pick an immediate impact guy, the best player on their board (WR/LB/CB/OT/IOL) at #19 than reach for a rookie QB who may or may not see the field in 2021. Anyone beyond the top four (Lawrence, Wilson, Fields, Lance) is a reach at #19 in my opinion. The rest of them should be drafted in round 2+.

I meant with any of our picks, but yeah, particularly #19. For me they have to go into the draft with the BPA/best fills a need with every pick, even if it means no QB. I agree in principle with the idea of drafting a QB every year, but only if there's a guy you truly believe has at least backup potential.
