I may get destroyed for this. But I think this is a great idea. Siemian knows the offense and had a solid first season as a starter. Is he a superstar? NO. But he is cheap and decent. He makes just over $1.3m combined for 2017 and 2018. That's almost $40m less than Tyrod for slightly less production and way more upside. I would love if we dumped Tyrod and acquired this kid while still continuing to search for a sure fire Franchise QB. I'd much rather go into 2017 with Siemian as our starter than Cardale, Foles, Cutler or any of the other garbage available and definitely would like him as a placeholder if we decide to draft a QB this year (which I would not do). Tyrod is marginally better but not $16m per year better.

Maybe, but when the team hasn't committed to TT yet and I hear talk of "acquiring" a QB, I assume it's to be starter.

 

Fair points. I'd be okay with him as the starter, however, if TT was traded for a top pick as mentioned in another thread. Then you start him, surround him with talent, hope he makes the playoffs, and get a franchise guy in next years draft. And I could be wrong, but I think Siemian sees the middle of the field better than TT.

I won't destroy you for this. Esp. if TT can net us a top 15 pick in the draft. 2 picks in the top 15. Nice.

Wow. Close the message board and leak something this dumb in the same day. What an organization. Whaley knows a bad QB when he sees them. We are going nowhere until all the current talent evaluators are gone. If this doesn't prove it you just are a Dougie fanboy.

 

The BB.com messageboard sucked so no loss and it looks like they're just directing conversation to their Facebook page, which is where a lot of brands are going - much less toxic than an anonymous message board. Plus, we have TBD, which made BB.com's messageboard obsolete before it even launched...

Now if we can TRADE Ty and pick up Trevor I might be able to get on-board with this plan...

Maddog, I so agree w your thinking. I am for dumping Taylor at the salary he will be due going forward. And from what I am reading we may be able to trade him as well. (at least a 3rd round pick and maybe a 5th or 6th would be fine with me) Getting Simien will be solid. He has a calm presence, and has some upside. We have so many other needs. Bring in Simien and draft a guy to both compete w Cardale, while solidifying many other positions in free agency and thru the draft, and this coming season will be looking a lot brighter.
