Well.. since they were able to get rid of wentz with no money implications ballard seems to have a better situation to play with. I would hazard a guess that ballard does not want to trade any more picks because he loves his picks and got burnt last time around, this is especially relevant given the quality of QBs available. Therefore I think he will sign one of the FAs to a 2 year deal and try to draft our long term solution in the next two years, probably next years draft.

I will say trubisky. They will overpay a bit for a shorter term deal.

I agree. Stopgap it for a season or 2 and draft the guy you believe in.

Yeah, considering what we're getting for Wentz Jimmy G might be out of Ballard's price range.

What do think they’re asking for a QB they don’t want anymore coming off surgery???

We can basically send the Washington picks to them and it’s an even swap

So apparently they are targeting Carr? I didn't see but I guess McAfee said that on his show yesterday.

I've read some Raiders fans sweating bullets over trading Carr. Bringing up how McDaniels went to Denver and immediately traded Cutler.

From LV's perspective... there's two ways to speculate I suppose... Either they have to have Carr because the division is loaded at QB and no bad teams. Or McDaniels is thinking longer term, takes a haul for Carr, and builds from there.

Wishful thinking on my part, I'm sure.

I’m fine with Carr, but what’s the cost?

I mean if it’s a 3rd for Jimmy vs a Twos 2nd for Carr I’d still roll with Jimmy

He sure as hell isn't.

Bottom line, I don't see any of the possible 2022 QBs being of SB level, so I've no wish to see the Colts trade for one of them. Roll with a free agent, but don't give up any more players or draft picks to get less than a stud QB.

No way I would send the Washington picks for Jimmy G. Sign a free agent or go with a draft pick.

Well, that's the question. This is all assuming he's even actually on the market. I don't like Garoppolo like some of you guys do. On-the-field reasons are enough, but the fact that he's only started 19 out of a possible 80 games for SF is pretty scary. That said; I can't imagine Garoppolo going for a 3rd with this many teams in play.

Anyway, yeah, Carr would probably cost something that would sting. Of course, there's a lot of room between the two 3rd's that Wentz pulled and the truckload that Wilson pulled. I couldn't even guess Carr's cost other than to say it'll be in between Wentz and Wilson.

Carr is not a top-of-the-line guy, but he's a lot better than Wentz. And notably, compared to Wentz, his accuracy and panic-level are desirable. As bad as things ended up for us... how close was our 9-win season to a 10-, 11-, 12-win season even with Wentz?

What free agent?

I don’t want any of the listed free agents they’re all just Wentz all over again yes we’d get to keep the picks but that’s not gonna matter unless we figure out the QB
