Not to be a downer, but whom would you have signed?

Mike Glennon, Brian Hoyer, Nick Foles, and Jay Cutler all are making more than $10m for 2017. Just a bit outside our price range.

Josh McCown, Matt Barkley, and Landry Jones are all making more than $4.0m for 2017. Again, just a bit outside backup QB pay.

QBs over 30 (Ballard would have avoided): Ryan Fitzpatrick, Mark Sanchez, Josh Johnson, Chase Daniels, T.J. Yates, Dan Orlovsky, Shaun Hill, Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Whitehead.

The Remaining guys:

Case Keenum
Geno Smith
Blaine Gabbert
Austin Davis
Matt McGloin
E.J. Manuel
Thaddeus Lewis
Ryan Nassib
Kellen Moore
David Fales
Aaron Murray
Colin Kaepernick
RGIII
Christian Pounder
Zach Mettenberger
Keith Wenning
Dylan Thompson
Sean Renfree

Which one of those world beaters would you have said, prior to free agency starting, is heads and shoulders better than Scott Tolzien?

It was a bad QB free agency class.

Walk Worthy,
