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

I don't think drafting a rookie is in the cards because Ballard seems more in a "win now" type of situation than waiting 1 or 3 years for a rookie QB to develop.

My guess is that we are going to get one of the long-term starters veterans that will not cost us draft picks to get: Cam Newton, Mitch Trubisky, Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston.

I don't know that Bridgewater is any better than those guys and would cost us a draft pick to get.

A 1 or 2 season bridge to either Easton being ready to be the starter or the Colts are in a better position to find a longer term solution.

Or...a new system actually works for the underappreciated veteran.

Of course, if Dak Prescott actually makes it to free agency.....but he will not.

I'm thinking it's like YDFL said. Dalton...

Maybe Winston. I can't see Trubisky and I think Newton is done.

Bring them in and let them compete with Eason this year for the job. Evaluate Eason after the season and restart the process.

If the price is right, he's a good bridge to a QB solution.

There was a rumor that Ballard contacted the Packers about Jordan Love's availability. Either the rumor was wrong, or Ballard doesn't agree with you that he sucks.

I think that started with Dan Dakich who likes to troll the Colts, Ballard, and Colt fans. Also he likes Grigson and thinks he got shafted by a political Pagano and was better than people think. So I don’t know if I believe that rumor.

It's time the Colts stop fucking around with the QB position !!! If theres a guy that Ballard thinks is the next franchise QB in this years draft, than do what it takes to get him !!! The clocks ticking....tick tock tick tock......

I’ll give you Luck but I’m calling BS That had to be a photo from high school on Manning. I’d say luck was the exception to that rule. Of all 32 starters who is really ripped like that?

C) ) The Packers getting burned for a 49-yard TD pass when the Buccaneers had no timeouts and only 8 seconds left to play in the 1st half was inexcusable ...... it was on par with the 2012 Denver Broncos coughing up the game-tying, 70-yard TD pass when the Ravens had no timeouts and only 30 seconds left to play in the 4th quarter of that season's divisional playoff game. That gaffe cost Peyton Manning a chance to beat Brady in yet another conference championship game (Manning's teams were 3-1 in such games against Brady's teams when Manning retired), and what very well may have been a 3rd Super Bowl ring (in addition to the one that he won 6 years earlier, and the 2nd one that he won 3 years later.)

The Buccaneers had no timeouts, and there were only 8 seconds left to play in the half. The Packers should have had 9 defensive backs on the field, and they literally should have positioned 6 of them on the sidelines, 5 yards apart from the line of scrimmage at the 44 yardline, the 39 yardline, and the 34 yardline ........ that would have prevented a quick, sideline pass which (if successful) would have given the Buccaneers a chance for a closer field goal attempt. The remaining 3 defensive backs should have been positioned in the middle of the field at the 5 yardline. They could have given Brady and the Buccaneers ANYTHING THAT THEY WANTED in the middle of the field, because they had 0 timeouts and there were only 8 seconds left to play. That means that they would have had no chance to spike the ball after being tackled in-bounds. It would not have mattered if Brady had hit a receiver 10 yards downfield, 20 yards downfield, or even 30 yards downfield, because in all 3 of those situations the receiver would have been tackled in-bounds to end the half.

There were plenty of reports that Jordan Love had a terrible training camp. He showed a few flashes of potential, but more often than not, he left everyone wondering - Why did GB trade up to draft him in the first round? He didn't look like a first round QB in practice.

Does that mean he is a bust? There is no way to know at this point in time. Especially with COVID-19 impacting practices during preseason camp and during the regular season this past year.

Love's season was nearly identical to Eason's. He was Green Bay's QB3 and didn't see much practice time this year.

When everyone was speculating about Rodgers future - the article below mentioned that if Rodgers left, Tim Boyle (their back-up QB) would be more suited to start games next year than Love. Hopefully Love learned what it takes to be a NFL QB and has determined what he needs to work on this offseason so that he is better prepared for next season.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...lit-mean-sides

Is Love ready?
Nothing he has shown, at least publicly, would suggest that. But that's no surprise given that he has taken third-string reps going all the way back to training camp. Reporters are allowed to watch only one period of individual or group drills during practices. But even during those viewing sessions, Love has struggled with accuracy -- in the drill where quarterbacks throw to a stationary target (usually a net) and to players running routes on air (without a defender).

Backup Tim Boyle would be more suited to play in 2021 than Love. There's also the possibility that the Packers could trade Love like the Patriots did with Jimmy Garoppolo. That would be one way to tell Rodgers they're committed to him long-term, and then they could try again with another quarterback in a future draft.

So Omaha is Dan Dakich?

You would've taken Brian Price over Ndamukong Suh, and that statement is similarly bad.

Anyway, back to the OP topic, I think Matt Ryan is the next domino and I think he's the best veteran option at this point. How much will he cost?
