Dkollidas Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Basing this on a few things: 1. Assuming Redskins DO NOT Franchise Tag Cousins again. 2. AJ McCarron wins his grievance against the Bengals and becomes a UFA. 3. Eli Manning asks for and is granted his release from the Giants. 4. Alex Smith is released by Kansas Coty 5. Brees re-signs with the Saints (otherwise it’s basically a guarantee he’s the top option anyways). 6. Minnesota re-signs/tags Keenum, Bridgewater & Bradford become RFA’s. Cousins McCarron Manning Smith Bridgewater Bradford To me this could be the best group of QB’s to move around the league in a while. If you manage to get a guy like Cousins, drafting a QB is unnecessary. You could go after a younger guy to compete with a Peterman and possibly a mid-Round Draft Pick with someone like McCarron or Bridgewater. You could also also go after a guy like Smith, Bradford or Eli to groom whoever you do Draft, whatever point that’s at. Basically I’m just pointing out that, adding Taylor to this group, there’s a lot of options for a lot of teams out there this off-season, not even counting the draft. I want the team to go after another quarterback, but if you’re not totally comfortable with the price to move up, or the guys that are available when you pick in the 1st, or to play any of those guys right off the bat, there’s a myriad of possibilities this off-season. Regardless, what would you like to see the Bills do this off-season regarding these options? Edited November 29, 2017 by Dkollidas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a serious note, I’d go with Cousins easily. I’d put them in this order: Cousins, Manning, Bridgewater, Smith, McCarron, and Bradford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Cousins is the only one of interest as a franchise guy. I would take a shot on Bridgewater as a cheap option for the veteran while the rookie develops. It has to be a 1st round QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baskingridgebillsfan Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Bradford fits dennison. I think he was like 71 percent completion rate last year. I am not banking on him for the long run but for next year sure I take him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re concerned about his injury history, I completely understand. Otherwise, I think he’d give us similar results to Tyrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkollidas Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 1 minute ago, PetermanThrew5Picks said: Keenum tagged? I get the laughs, but it’s one way of guaranteeing the guy is with you for another year. He’s having an amazing year, and rather than give him a long term deal with guaranteed cash over the course of multiple years, a franchise tag (obviously only if necessary), is a realistic option. We could’ve said the same thing about Cousins two years ago, Washington is now having to look at the possibility of a 3rd Franchise Tag that will give them a 30M Cap hit.

He would still be a decent option to hold the spot until a young QB is ready. I don’t think that he would be a huge downgrade from Tyrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No injuries and far greater mobility Because Bridgewater would fit the offense better than Tyrod. Bridgewater and Tyrod have different styles of play as you mentioned. It’s quite apparent that this regime aren’t big Tyrod fans. They might simply feel more confident with a guy like Bridgewater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is less than Hoyer. You are getting a draft pick ready to play anyways. If you strike lightning in a bottle with Teddy, great. If not, it is a lottery ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Bradford? Seriously? His knees are held together by spit and duct tape. No thanks. The only one I would even consider over drafting a QB early is Cousins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Eli Manning, if we could get him. He gets zero respect but would be a huge improvement over what we have now. A new start and change of scenery might do him some good, along with getting out of the NYC pressure cooker. Edit: PS: I woud not want him over drafting our own QB Edited November 29, 2017 by Fadingpain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
