mitchmurraydowntown Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Is there anyway to get any of these guys, besides Tom Brady with the * by his name (LOL): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000493268/article/aaron-rodgers-reigns-among-top-10-qbs-tom-brady-takes-a-hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Well a surprising number of top QBs have expiring deals in 2016. Not sure how many will actually become free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Can't imagine any of them will be available to us. It's really dumb to get rid of a franchise QB without another one in the waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reason I'm asking, somebody is going to want too much & if we do quite well this season I could see us obtaining one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwalter Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Demand for legitimate QBs far exceeds supply - once a team gets one they do everything in their power to keep them. So to answer your question: no, there is no way to get any of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 that Brady guy is intriguing. But scouting reports claim he has small hands and trouble gripping a fully inflated ball? Sounds Like he would be killer in a Nerf league though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 It's fair to suggest that, as a general rule, any top franchise QB, such as the 10 on this list, will never be available until they are no longer worth having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 The most probable situation I see, and it's still unlikely, is the saint fall head over heels for Greyson and don't re-up Brees. Sort of like favre/Green Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did get Bledsoe, would you have considered him a top 10 at the time ?? Drew got a heroes welcome at the airport anyways, so that says something (probably we were duped).

Drew got a heroes welcome at the airport anyways, so that says something (probably we were duped). I said a general rule. Getting Bledsoe, when we did, would be an exception to that rule. But it shows it can be done. There have been rumblings (not sure how well founded they are) that Eli Manning or maybe Rivers could become available. Some argue for Brees. I'll believe any of that when I see it, but I'd take any of them, so long as it happens relatively soon. Like before they turn 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) That's the reason I'm asking, somebody is going to want too much & if we do quite well this season I could see us obtaining one of them. And yet somehow they always get it. Other than situations where teams had identified the successor (Manning, Drew, Favre), when was the last time a top 10 QB just hit the open market? I don't think any of the 2016 FA QBs has an heir apparent. Edited May 22, 2015 by KD in CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 If they are available, then they shouldn't be viewed as top 10 Qbs. Top 10 Qbs don't ever come available because no team is stupid enough to let them go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you folks consider Drew Bledsoe at that time, #8 in the league ?? Edited May 22, 2015 by mitchmurraydowntown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Can't be a legitimate Top 10 List... EJ's name isn't on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
