STC Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) So Orton is not the answer. If you want a playoff team any time soon, I don't think Manuel is either. And of course, no 1st round pick in 2015. So what should happen? This defense - although not perfect - is a pretty special one. I don't see how the guys on this roster (especially on D) would buy into developing Manuel for another year. And I know most fans won't (if that matters). Maybe he can be the guy, but let him be a backup for now. Or at the very least, bring in someone other than Orton and let Manuel compete for the job. So if we want to take advantage of this defense and this receiver talent, who do we go for? There may be a lot of guys available come March 2015, including: Newton RG III Cutler Bradford Hoyer Sanchez Mallett McCoy These aren't necessarily great names, and some of them might even seem downright ugly. My two cents - if there's a shot at getting Cam Newton, I'd go after it hard. Fire away. Edited December 8, 2014 by STC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixxxer Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 If Newton hits FA you have to go after him, but he won't. Mallet, McCoy and Hoyer would be good back-ups, being Mallet the only unknown that could surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Newton is not going to be a FA, he signed the option and will be back with the Panthers. He'll sign a long term deal there before becoming a FA, either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallet, McCoy and Hoyer would be good back-ups, being Mallet the only unknown that could surprise. If they bring in a guy, I'd want a guy who can start and win. I don't see the point if it's another back-up. They'd have to make a pretty bold move. Bradford I like the Bradford idea as well. I don't think he's done.

Bring every single QB in FA in and keep the best 3..! Don't get me wrong. I have no faith in their selection ability. Zero. I'm hoping for an accident. Ralph accidentally found Polian. The USFL folded and we got Kelly back. It has been a while. We're due for another accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 in order Newton Bradford Mallett Newton and Bradford are not going to be FA's. Mallet is set to be a FA, the only one not named Sanchez that might be worth having on a roster. Mallet couldn't even beat out Fitzpatrick, mind you.

St Louis saves $13 mil by cutting Bradford. I say they will. fitz was benched in favor of mallet a couple weeks ago, but mallet got injured in first game. tried to play through it in 2nd game.

Realist Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The only one out of that group that I would take and I believe may be available would be Bradford. I even doubt the Rams let him go. Anyone else on that list is no better than Orton and EJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
