I understand that this franchise wants a franchise QB.
But I don't get the level of angst.
There are really only 4 QB 'needy' teams and outside of Miami I don't see how the other teams desire for a QB rivals ours.
The way I see it there are 4 teams with different levels of need for a franchise QB.
But there are 4 candidates:
o Manning who's actually a franchise QB
o Flynn, Griffin and Tannehill potential franchise QBs

I don't see a problem.
We sit back and let the draft come to us.
I have full faith that come training camp we'll either have a franchise QB (Manning) or a potential franchise QB or both.

Wow, that's a surprising rumor.
Must come from Osweiller's camp, I can't imagine any team is looking at Osweiller anywhere near 12.

I think the "angst" is because aside from Manning not all these teams agree that the QB's you mentioned are all franchise QB's. If you only like 1 or 2 of the 4 there is no time to waste in getting your guy...

Well to be clear I'm not saying any team thinks any of the non-Manning QBs are currently franchise QBs.
The only franchise QB available is Peyton Manning the others are potential franchise QBs.

Sure there are endless speculations about which team likes which QB more or how the teams rank the QBs that we'll never know.
But don't you agree that its fair to say that the top QB prospects are considered potential franchise QBs?

I would agree the rookies you mentioned are potential franchise QB's even though the teams will differ on how likely they are to fulfill that potential.

As for Flynn...I think it is very up in the air what the NFL really thinks of him. He's a former 7th round pick with 2 game tapes. I would think the consensus on him would be that he could be a starting upgrade for some teams but is not franchise QB material.
