Who do want Ballard to go after in a trade, FA or draft? QB ONLY thread
 

I want Stafford in FA, And as of late I am warming up the the idea of Wentz

In the draft. I want this guy

After seeing what a 39 year-old Philip Rivers was able to do with this team, I wouldn't mind seeing Stafford or Wentz in 2021.

If Dak Prescott actually makes it to free agency, he'd be worth a look, but I doubt he will. Stafford or Wentz would require a trade, Ryan might. If they're willing to invest the 21st pick in a QB, I'd go for Mac Jones and bring in a journeyman as competition. I think Jones is the most NFL ready in this draft, though.

Stafford or Ryan via trade

I wouldn't mind his receiver.

I would want Stafford. Wentz gets hurt a lot and couldn't even stay first string on a bad Eagles team.

Stafford or Ryan.

No on Wentz. He's made of glass and I have character concerns.

I'm also on the get a vet like Stafford train. That said, if they could trade up to get Trey Lance and not give up the world for him, I'd be all in.

Stafford, or draft a good QB

1 - Darnold
2 - Stafford
3 - Mac Jones



527 - Wentz

Phillip Walker

Doubt Lions cut Stafford, so not available as a FA. Would like to see a trade for him if within reason. Pederson got the axe in Philly due to his going away from Wentz, who their owner Jeffery Lurie really likes. Probably better chance to poach Hurts from the Eagles than Wentz IMHO.

8/28/2017: Stafford signed a six-year, $135 million contract. The deal contains $92 million guaranteed, including a $60.5 million signing bonus. Stafford is eligible for an annual $500,000 workout bonus throughout the contact's life.
2018: $9.5 million (+ $6.5 million roster bonus)
2019: $13.5 million (+ $5.5 million roster bonus)
2020: $15 million (+ $6 million roster bonus)
2021: $9.5 million (+ $10 million roster bonus)
2022: $12.5 million (+ $10 million roster bonus)
2023: Free Agent

He would be cheaper than Rivers

I wonder what they could him for from Detroit. I've got a lot of family and some friends from Detroit. They all have said they think Stafford deserves to play for a competent franchise.

I haven't seen enough of the guy's tape to really make any kind of declarative statement but generally what I've seen from him I've liked.

I would hope he could at least produce like River's did, but if they don't have a legitimate long term plan in place I'm going to be annoyed at us renting a quarterback for another year or two and pushing the problem down the line.

My bad I should’ve added in trade for also in the title

That kid Puck linked in original post Jamie Newman looks pretty good :cool:

So does Sage Surratt the WR

i am down for Stafford or Ryan with the 21st and maybe some change.

Lol

First, the Jets trade for Watson, getting him out of our division. Darnold becomes unnecessary for them so we trade a 3rd rounder for him and Reich turns him around and we have a solid QB for the next 15 years.

If the Jets were to trade for Watson wouldn’t they probably wind up asking for Darnold in the trade because they’re gonna need a quarterback?

On a side note, I went to HS with a girl whose last name was Surratt. Had one of the nicest asses I have ever seen.

Not necessarily, they'd get AT THE VERY LEAST,
the Jets 2 1st rounders this year, and with the second pick, they could select a QB.

No I’m being serious

You are fucking killing me smalls LOL oh LOL

I think draft. Maybe a surprise big move up to grab one of the top guys. Or maybe jones at 21.

Maybe Luck is ready.

Someone had to say it

While you’re at it why don’t you put some lemon juice in that cut

I would love that, but it appears that ship has sailed.

Tbh even if Luck came back I'd rather the Colts trade him and get whatever they can get.

To the Texans for Watson !!

If he did come back(he won’t), it would take a year just to knock the rust off.

That ship has indeed sailed.

Depends on his conditioning, but if he were to come back now he really wouldn't have missed much more time than he did for the shoulder surgery. So it might look more like the '18 season.

Agree that the ship has sailed though and it won't happen.

2 full seasons and 2 full offseasons. That’s quite a bit more than his shoulder injury.

I could be misremembering, but he missed 1 full season and essentially 2 offseasons with the shoulder surgery since he wasn't throwing the ball until training camp for the '18 season. It's a moot point, but I think it's closer than you think.

At this point I just don't know what they should do. I'm leaning towards the draft. But I would like to see more data and testing on all the QB's. I would probably say draft a guy, let him compete and be opportunistic with the fallout of the draft, FA, and the lower cap.

That we have a full page of Luck shit shows how screwed we truly are. There are no good options, I just hope Ballard can do some magic.

Show’s how Luck really screwed the Colts, going into year 3 post Luck, and no clue about who the next QB will be. If I’m not mistaken, every AFC playoff QB this year was a first round pick

It always amazes me how when people say luck screwed the Colts. He managed to get out of the game with his health. He suffered major organ damage in a game. Something that could’ve cost him his life.

Andrew luck didn’t screw the Colts or Colts fans of one single thing. Quite frankly he’s probably lucky he got out with his life.

He knew what he signed up for, I'm tired of people giving him an out for this.

I'm not judging him for walking away. Objectively it's smart. He's made generational wealth; Why continue? He does not get a pass for hustling everyone, even if it wasn't intentional, on who he was.

Clearly he did not know he was incapable of handling the burdens as they relate to the sport. I thought I was invincible when I was a kid too.

I MAINTAIN - Manning broke his fucking neck and won a superbowl, and we sent him packing because this dude sold us on something he was not able to provide. If he was as passionate about the job as Manning, Brady, Brees, and every other generational quarterback he was supposed to be like, he would not have walked away from the team when it was finally ready to make deep playoff runs.

It's "amazing" that other fans have a different opinion about Luck than you do. Alrighty then.

How many times have we been through this? Why do you reflexively feel the need to defend Luck?

We can refrain from begrudging him anything and still discuss what is blatantly obvious-he completely screwed the franchise by retiring when and how he did.
