WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021

Completely understandable. I just see a glass ceiling without a QB, but building in the draft and finding a guy works too if you find him.

Yeah I get the if part for sure. My biggest problem is if you trade 3 #1s for Watson and he gets Smithed/Theismanned on the first play of the season...where are you then?

Sorry but that is a silly argument and that can happen with anyone. Injuries are part of the game, and that should not stop you from getting a young elite QB that will likely make your team into a playoff team.

I honestly probably do a 1st a 2nd and CY for Watson.

Watson would have a bigger impact then CY on this franchise.

It’s not a silly argument. It’s one of the reasons you don’t make trades like that. It’s BECAUSE it can happen to anyone on any play.

yeah except you'd need to add a lot more to that offer

From NFL Now: #Raiders QB Marcus Mariota has generated a lot of interest from teams, but the max value of his contract has been an issue for teams. Trade talk has slowed considerably. Could he be eventually released?

Yes, but if Watson gets hurt, he's not going to be hurt for three years.

And I agree that it is a lot to give up, but if you are a team like Washington, which has a lot of pieces in place, and will have a lot of key talented players on rookie or inexpensive contracts, you can afford a trade like this.

Every potential move you make, whether it is drafting or acquiring a FA, has some degree of risk.

That's my bet. LV can't afford him, and teams aren't going to pay him $22m plus trade assets for him. It would be better for him if he was released, better for the Raiders (cap wise), and better for the team that eventually signs him in free agency.

I agree it’s not silly at all .. look at it like this , if we had a top five pick and we selected say Fields and he got hurt and could not play for several seasons .. we would be out of one pick for that time .. if we give up 2 number ones and a second and starting player for a QB and same thing happens what are we out of ? Best not to trade away too much or as some say put all your eggs in one basket ... there is a huge difference ..

Football Team will wait them out for sure. No need to make that trade. I would trade for Darnold though. I will confess I don't know much about him other than when he tore up the Redskins in 2019. I was listening the Sheehan and he said alot of "football people" what ever that means, I am assuming scouts, personnel and GMs, are high on Darnold.
