GunnerBill Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 In light of the Eli Manning news and discussion in a few other threads I thought we should play a little game. It's a bit of fun at this stage but maybe we can revisit it in the offseason.... call now the guy who starts 2018 under centre for each of the 32 NFL teams and please folks this is what I think not what I want: AFC North Bengals - Andy Dalton Browns - Josh Rosen Ravens - Joe Flacco Steelers - Ben Roethlisberger AFC East Bills - Sam Bradford Dolphins - Alex Smith Jets - Josh McCown Patriots - Tom Brady AFC South Colts - Andrew Luck Jaguars - Eli Manning Texans - Deshaun Watson Titans - Marcus Mariota AFC West Broncos - Case Keenum Chargers - Philip Rivers Chiefs - Patrick Mahomes Raiders - Derek Carr NFC North Bears - Mitch Trubisky Lions - Matt Stafford Packers - Aaron Rodgers Vikings - Teddy Bridgewater NFC East Cowboys - Dak Prescott Eagles - Carson Wentz Giants - Sam Darnold Redskins - Kirk Cousins NFC South Buccaneers - Jameis Winston Falcons - Matt Ryan Panthers - Cam Newton Saints - Drew Brees NFC West Cardinals - Tyrod Taylor 49ers - Jimmy Garoppolo Rams - Jared Goff Seahawks - Russell Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Ryan Tannehill not starting? I actually could see him as a possibility of being in Buffalo now that I think about it. I think the Vikings keep Keenum especially if he continues. I think the Vikings already declined Bridgewaters option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Vikings already declined Bridgewaters option? Bridgewater is a bit of a punt. I just feel like the GM and HC love him. I think Miami is going to move on from Tannehill. There is an out this year and I don't know if someone else picks him up to start.... I might be biased mind you. I didn't like him coming out, haven't liked him in the league, don't think you can win with him. Put him in the same camp as Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Tanny is good, about the same level overall as Taylor. However he would be better for what the Bills want to do on offense. He’s better in the pocket than Taylor. He would be another stop gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Here's mine. I think there could be 1 other surprise starter, possibly a rookie, but not sure where they would fit. AFC North Bengals - Andy Dalton Browns - Sam Darnold Ravens - Joe Flacco Steelers - Ben Roethlisberger AFC East Bills - Case Keenum Dolphins - Ryan Tannehill Jets - Josh McCown Patriots - Tom Brady AFC South Colts - Andrew Luck Jaguars - Tyrod Taylor Texans - Deshaun Watson Titans - Marcus Mariota AFC West Broncos - Eli Manning Chargers - Philip Rivers Chiefs - Patrick Mahomes Raiders - Derek Carr NFC North Bears - Mitch Trubisky Lions - Matt Stafford Packers - Aaron Rodgers Vikings - Teddy Bridgewater NFC East Cowboys - Dak Prescott Eagles - Carson Wentz Giants - Josh Rosen Redskins - Kirk Cousins NFC South Buccaneers - Jameis Winston Falcons - Matt Ryan Panthers - Cam Newton Saints - Drew Brees NFC West Cardinals - Alex Smith 49ers - Jimmy Garoppolo Rams - Jared Goff Seahawks - Russell Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually see Cutler being there again next year. None of those guys I would want for my future though. 1 year stop gap while the 1st round QB develops.

Those 1 year stop gaps typically turn into “until the bye week” stopgaps. That’s all the more reason to not break the bank. I don’t want to be paying that vet over about $6M.

But it would be nice for the stop gap to actually play decently for 16 to give us a decent chance at the playoffs. Want to hear an interesting name? Want to see what you think for one year.....Colt McCoy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will all be clamoring for that rookie to get on the field ASAP no matter who the stopgap is (if they have one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackOrton Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I see Alex Smith on the Broncos TBH. Nothing like guaranteed revenge against the team who walked away from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yungmack Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 With the signing of Kelly, who's pushing for Rosen to stay another year, and Darnold appearing to be genuinely on the fence about coming out after this season, how would this change your guesses if both stay in school?
