WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021

[skinsfaninok]

No surprise but the WFT has called about Sam Darnold per ESPN

[MTK]

I'm sure the WFT will be calling about any QB worth a damn that may be possibly available.

As they should be doing.

[sdskinsfan2001]

I didn't know he finished that well. Maybe we don't need to force a QB. Between Heinicke and Allen we can get it done if we have a good off-season at other positions.

Washington QB Kyle Allen continues to progress in rehab and should be fully recovered by April from the dislocated ankle that ended his season. Allen completed 69% of his passes with 4 TDs and a 99.3 rating in 4 starts last season. WFT has exclusive rights for 2021.

Due Diligence -

[Meks]

I wouldn't send a first for Carr, or Darnold. A 2nd maybe but I'm just.not parting ways with a #1 to bring a non winning (technically for carr) qb in here to learn a new system in an unknown off-season like this year at a #1 Pick value. I just value the #19 spot too much on a team with a lot of needs. Unless they address a lot of these needs with solid free agent pickups, and there are some but not many since we can't sign em all, I'd stand pat at 19. Carr and darnold while capable I've seen them play a helllll of a lot and I'm not RD 1 trade worthy impressed.... at all.

And a big hell no to T. Taylor

Hell.. anyone but Haskins starts all season long for this team and we are most likely a 10 win team and a much better team. Without having an outside qb coming in ehos available NOT named Stafford.

[Chief X_Phackter]

I'd still roll with J Winston, T Taylor, or A Dalton before giving up a damn thing for the 'same guy' in a trade.

[AnonEmouse]

I doubt Winston will be available. I suspect Payton sees him like a modern day Testaverde. If he can be cured of his INT throwing, he's got the skills to be a good QB.

I'd take Mariota if a better scenario didn't develop, but for a low cost trade. If someone offers the Raiders a 2nd or a 3rd, they're welcome to him, but if we could get him for say a 5th, that's not a bad result. Like Winston, it's not too late for him and he's shown signs; his worst season in Tenn was 2017 and overall he's rated a shade under 90. There's something to work with there.

But I'd still prefer us to use the draft even if it means rolling with Allen/Heinicke for next year.

Good post.

I'd be willing to trade one of our two third round picks for Mariota.

I don't foresee our getting a QB we would want in the draft but stranger things have happened.

Use that third to draft a QB rather than spend it on a QB that has had numerous opportunities but never showed moxy.

Still amazing that everyone is so ready to waste draft picks on retread QBs.

That 3rd round pick could be a FS, a CB, a #2 WR, etc.

I think Mac Jones at 19 is intriguing.. He looks to be pro ready but it's so hard to bank on a rookie

Jones can make all the throws. Isn't he a bit of a statue, though? Is he mobile enough for our ideal offense?

Also, I have a problem in general in trying to imagine how a QB who has stood untouched behind a dominant OL and thrown to wide open receivers throughout his college career might do in the pros when he will be under pressure throwing to receivers who are much more closely covered.

This ^ Just don't trust him when he's had it so easy on that team. I could see him being another Ryan Mallett or Matt Cassel...talented, but just not quite good enough for NFL.

You're talking like Alabama is the only tough team in the SEC.

Yes, they'll roll over none-conference opponents easily, but the SEC is no cakewalk. This is why you see so many top draft picks from SEC schools, not just Alabama.

Their schedule this year had no cupcake teams:

Missouri, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Tennessee Georgia, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Auburn, LSU, Arkansas, Florida, Notre Dame and Ohio State.


I'd been repeating the plan of Alex Smith, Mac Jones and Taylor Heinicke being our QBs in 2021.

By the time Smith is finished, Mac should be ready and he would've had the best teacher in the NFL to learn from.

Smith IS finished. Perhaps he hasn't come to terms with it yet, but he's done here..
