What’s Left At QB

Offering the Ravens something for Tyler Huntley could be an option. It might take a 2nd round pick. He started strong and struggled in his last two starts, but those last two starts were against Aaron Donald and TJ Watt, and he is young with upside.

Depending on what the Lions do, Jared Goff could end up cut and available for pennies. I think Jared Goff is better than Gardner Minshew.

Jimmy Garappalo is likely available for trade, but I don't like the idea of trading picks, paying 20 million, and dealing with his injury history, all for I think 10% better than Jared Goff, who might be available with none of those issues, or Gardner Minshew who might just be a younger Jimmy Garoppolo. If other teams think this way too though, there is a chance nobody bites on Alex Smith 2.0 and he gets cut and is available cheap, in which case why not.

Jordan Love is likely available cheap for trade, but looked bad in very limited game action, and the Packers have been hesitant to create any buzz around him. If we go with Taysom, who will likely get injured in the first few games, or don't acquire another QB, Love could be worth a mid round pick just to see what happens.

Well I would ride with Winston or Minshew but have no interest in any of the other quarterbacks mentioned in thread including Jimmy G. Not a great year in the draft either. Maybe you roll Bortles out there and give him a second shot in the NFL. LoL. I’m at a loss with the QB situation in the NFL right now. I can’t remember a time when the position was so top heavy on talent.

If it was a vote, mine would be for Winston but it's concerning that it hasn't happened yet. I think I saw we made him an offer that wasn't accepted. People are concerned that he might be offended by our courtship of Watson, but it doesn't look like he's that hot to come back. None of the others impress me.

Winston was tendered/offered way before the DW saga. It must then be a low ball offer. Winston and his agent are astute to wait it out. His options are dwindling, despite what is being disclosed to us by MSM. We'll have to wait it out too. If SP were still here, I am not certain we'd be waiting it out now.

We've been dreading the QB transition for a few years now. We're here now... and there will be a few bumps along there way.

We were 9-8 last year with a turnstile at QB. We can be the same with a rookie QB if need be, even if it is Ian Book or a new draftee. That's better than most other teams can claim.

Goff is a non-starter for me. He isn't a competitor. Wouldn't do the things McVay asked of him to improve and lead his team.

I'm warming up to the idea of Gardner Minshew. I've been watching his film ever since I saw somebody post his stats in the forum. I was impressed by his numbers, and I like what I'm seeing on the tape. Not to mention, he went to Brandon High School in Mississippi. I like it.

Hasn't torn an ACL.

Minshew is likely to be cheaper.

We may not get Winston and even if we do, I can argue Minshew would be a better backup than anyone on our roster.

I agree that Minshew would be a better backup.
