WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021

[skinsfan69]

Do not want Darnold and certainly would not give up a 2nd or 3rd for him . He isn't any better than what we already have. Lower tier starter at best. Also Gase isn't necessarily bad at scheming up offense. How is Scott Turner any better or how would he get anymore out of Darnold than Gase? Just makes no sense IMO.

I would not give up draft picks for JAGS and hope they stick or outperform what we have. It was Stafford or bust.

Mariota, Darnold, Fitz.. NO. You got two guys in Allen and Heinike. You draft someone and under no circumstances bring back Smith.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of trading for anyone, but just rolling with Allen and Heinicke is not really a viable option.

They will likely add a QB before the draft and in the draft.

I think a fourth for either Maritotta or Darnold wouldn’t be the end of the world and draft a developmental guy late might be a decent compromise.

No, not the end of the world, but would they be significantly better than Taylor, Fitzpatrick, Dalton, Beathard, Winston, etc.? I don't think so - so why give up draft capital?

Well I for one think that in a different situation they could be substantially better then they’ve been, but I know they may not be. But at the same time, a draft pick is a crap shoot too so I don’t see a real difference in the approach.

To me the difference is picking up their contract vs getting a potential starter on a rookie contract.

I just think free agency is the best way to go if you're looking for a bridge QB.

If the WFT could have gotten Mariota for a fourth I think they may have already done that deal.

Of these two guys, I prefer Darnold. He's only had Adam Gase coaching in the NFL, which may be why his talent has been wasted. So a bounce back is more likely with him, than with Mariota, who has been around a while.

Now ... for the right price, I'd be ok with either of them, really. Although Darnold wins here again between these two, given he is still on his rookie contract.


Get one of these guys, draft a QB in the middle rounds, and let them all compete to see who makes up the QB room next fall. I like Heinicke a lot .. I've never been sold on Kyle Allen, which may not be fair. He was doing ok before he got Theismanned. Maybe he blossoms into something. But the competition would be great to have, especially in a year where we should get a better off season to actually see who can win the jobs.

This might be most likely scenario, assuming you're talking about keeping Allen and Heinicke and adding a FA vet and a rookie draft pick without trading up for a 1st Round QB. I wouldn't mind this approach at all in this stage of our team build.
