The annual QB carousel
 

This has been an annual thing last few years as veteran qbs go from team to team, either by trade or free agency.

The draft really only has a couple of good QBs.

Who do the Steelers keep? Wilson or Fields?

Sam Darnold is going to get a nice payday somewhere.

Daniel Jones, signed with Vikings but does he stay there or go elsewhere to try to rehab his career?

Falcons probably should move on to Pennix. Cousins is done.

Does Rodgers try to play somewhere in 25, after 2 bad years either Jets?

Will the Browns just take pain now and move on from Watson? Winston is good enough as a bridge qb.

Next year’s draft isn’t like this year’s and not every team can draft a qb; so veteran qb route is the way. At least a stop gap.

People will be looking to replicate what Brady did with Bucs.

all i know is we are off that carousel! Woot!

Re: The annual QB carousel
 

Only thing for certain is Kirk Cousins agent should be in the HOF.
I'm a big KC fan but his contract is going to kill ATL with the Penix situation.

Re: The annual QB carousel
 

Cousins would have to wave his no trade clause. Thing is, why would anyone trade for QB in decline. Just like Aaron Rodgers, he’s done.

Re: The annual QB carousel
 

It will be interesting what happens in the offseason with the vet qbs.

The draft isn’t a good one for qbs this year. The top 2 qbs this year would probably only be ranked 7th,8th in last years draft. You’ll probably see a couple of QBs drafted higher than they should

Still, in a qb needy league ; there might be demand for those vets.

Justin Fields, Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins and maybe even Aaron Rodgers will have a home somewhere in 25. The last 3, likely as a bridge qb. Sam Darnold will make the big 2nd tier money as a QB.

Re: The annual QB carousel
 

I think Fields is done as a starter. I won't be surprised if Wilson is back with Steelers, just because their choices are limited.

Darnold likely will get a nice (not massive) contract somewhere else.

Re: The annual QB carousel
 

It’s good for the nfl to have successful QBs. It will be great if the 24 class rivals or surpasses the famed 83 class.

Look at the afc, they currently have 4 great QBs in Mahomes, Allen, Jackson and Burrow. Nix and Maye could join that club over time.


In the NFC, we really didn’t have that. We have a couple of good teams, Eagles and 49ers before this year but Purdy and Hurts aren’t on that same level.

Golf & Love definitely aren’t on that level.

Unknown what McCarthy, Pennix, Williams will become. In one year, Daniels is already on that level.

I hope all those rookie QBs of 24 are successful. Daniels and the NFC needs a qb to battle. We need our own Young-Aikman, Brady-Manning.

Williams seems the most likely. Imagine Jayden and Caleb battling every year, for the right to go to the Superbowl.

Re: The annual QB carousel
 

Bit soon to write off Love, but Goff has a ceiling. Williams certainly has some talent, but while coaching has to be considered a factor, he didn't demonstrate anywhere near JD's level. I can see JD being teh best young QB in teh league for years, and possibly the #1, as long as AP can keep him surrounded with good, if not top talent. It's more likely to be JD v Mahomes than JD vs any NFC QB for the near future at least.

The Giants are a stop but not for the money he is getting.

Re: The annual QB carousel
 

I think Cousins should get one more year somewhere to see if he is able to play still. The Achilles injury could have been (and still could be) career ending to the point that he is not able to do what was once his strong suit - Roll outs, play action, extending plays with his legs.

Except for his very first bad game on week one, he looked pretty good up until it seemed like he was totally out of gas in the last part of the season. As a layman, I think he had to put 100% of everything on his arm because he couldn't / didn't trust his legs because he was still dealing with the Achilles healing.

He came back within a year but I think a total Achilles recovery was always 12 - 16 months.

He might still retire, I honestly do not know.

Re: The annual QB carousel
 

Rodgers has been told he’s being cut, with June 1 designation.

So he’s a free agent. Can’t see to many teams having interest in him.

With that offensive line? I doubt it. I suspect he may be done. Good. Arrogant diva.

👏👍

The Giants are all but a full rebuild. I'd like to see AR gone, but it would be fun if he went to the Gmen and got beat up all year again.

Re: The annual QB carousel
 

Vet QB market depends on Matt Stafford??

Matt has two more years left but he wants more money. Rams want him back but don’t want to pay him the 50 million+ he wants. So, they gave him permission to seek a trade.

What happens with Matt, will dictate how the vet market shakes out. Giants have talk to him or his people. Tom Brady supposedly went skiing with him.

Think he has a bonus payment due before free agency starts.

Interesting what happens here.

Re: The annual QB carousel
 

Raiders and Giants have talked a 2 year deal with Matt and offering $90-100 million and guaranteed. Matt meets with Rams today.

He is staying a Ram.

What would you do if you are the Giants GM?

Re: The annual QB carousel
 

[quote=GridIron26;1373265]What would you do if you are the Giants GM?[/quote]

I would trade back with the Raiders get some picks and take Dart at 6 and I would sign Cousins or Winston as a bridge QB.

It doesn’t matter what Giants do. The gm and coach are dead men walking in 2025 and will be likely unemployed after 25.

Giants might as well trade down and get more picks, as you suggested. If Falcons trade Kirk, he won’t go to the Giants. Giants best bet, rebuild thru the draft. Free agents wanting to win, will avoid the Giants this year. Everyone knows there will be a change next year; so why come to Giants.

Money, I fully understand the outlook on the GM and Coach but any QB that can show some improvement while with the Giants will make out well in the NY Metropolitan area. The Giants lost 8 games by one score and the O line showed a little improvement up until the injuries hit. As always I'll wait and see. IMPO the biggest detractor to the Giants is the NY Press.

Raiders traded a 3rd round pick to Seahawks for Geno Smith.

I guess Howell is getting another chance?

Re: The annual QB carousel
 

[quote=GridIron26;1373440]I guess Howell is getting another chance?[/quote]Maybe. Rumor mill indicating they're going after Darnold. Funny thing is McDonald was pumping up Smith so hard recently, so the trade is somewhat surprising.

Re: The annual QB carousel
 

Could Rodgers go to Vikings and finish the Favre tour? Try to rebound from the Jets disaster and end his career on a better note. JJ can ease back from his injury and learn more. If Rodgers falters again, he can take over.

Working with O'Connell, having the best wr in the NFL, and playing in a dome would appeal to me. Flores had the defense rocking too. I could see this going down actually. Division is already stacked.

I seriously hope not.

Post draft maybe. Can't imagine anyone being in a rush to sign him before they know what they have in the QB room before then.

Vikings definitely would be a good place for Rodgers, although I don't know if it would be good fit, looking from Vikings' end. Rodgers clearly wasn't fully committed to football last year since he skipped some football time to do personal stuff including speaking on podcasts.

And that is why I don't want him anywhere near a Rookie QB especially in NYC!
I get many Vets don't want to be mentors to their replacements but my worry is showing someone like Ward or Sanders the wrong way to behave in the NFL , being a primidone is not a good thing but at least those that are can back it up. If it was the Rodgers of 5-6 years ago sure but IMHO he is just a Dick now.

I do hope the G-men draft Shedeur.

As expected, Seahawks finalizing a deal with Sam Darnold. It’s a 3 year deal, near $100 million.

If the last two games last year cost him $$ it sure didn't cost him a lot. Not a bad payday.

I think it would have been between 40 - 45 per at the minimum if it weren't for those last two games. And i think Seattle just shit the bed as IMO Geno is far better with their o-line that darnold will be.

Fields is terrible, jets can’t be serious starting him?

I follow Warren Sharp and he was killing the Jets yesterday. No way Fields should have gotten a deal day 1.

You start fields you purposely tanking.
