I can understand if the team just falls off the cliff, but that hasn't happened.

Think about this:
- The core of the current defense is likely to come back next year.
- Guice will come back next year.
- You can get better receivers next year through the draft or see how some of the current young receivers work out.
- You can draft a project QB and see what happens.

I just don't think any FA QB can come in and be successful, as people want it, right away.

Granted, this could all change if Alex decides to hang it up.

Yes even if we make the playoffs i don't want CM as QB1 going into next season.

Why are so many NFL fans expecting QB's to play lights out or you want them cut? There aren't 32 "lights-out" QB's available. That's just the reality of football. We have a strong defense that could carry a team, a potentially strong 2019 running game, and some talent at WR. You don't have to have an elite QB to go far. I love watching Brady and Rodgers etc. but I'd rather improve the team and have a Colt McCoy just doing his job than be where Green Bay is with an elite QB but no team around him. This isn't a panic time yet. I have no worries with Colt at QB as long as we have a long term plan in place like bringing in or drafting a new QB of the future. To be honest, this is exactly where I wanted to be at the start of '17. Should've traded Cousins for a #1 and let Colt play last year and draft a QB for '18.

I have no interest in Teddy unless its at a vet min. He wasn't good when he played so after 3 years I don't see much from him. I agree Chico, AS is done as the starter in WSH. I just don't see how he will be ready to play and start by 2019.

You guys with your vet minimums.

Teddy is coming back from a horrific injury a few years ago.
Also, the Saints are grooming him to replace Brees in a couple of years.

Basically, he isn't coming to DC.

Nah Hill is replacing Brees, Teddy is actually the 3rd stringer to be honest

Th Saints traded a 3rd rounder for Bridgewater, he's staying on the roster. Either as a future starter or a backup.

Just wait til they hear Bruce's offer. A 2nd round pick, and your choice of top young defensive talent.

Trade for Jacoby Brisett. He's not bad but other than that it looks bad folks.

Maybe Joe Flacco will be the guy

This isn't a great draft class to be in need of a QB.

That said we still have 6 games to go in this season, maybe more.

Says who? I see a few guys out there that have serious credentials.

Grier and Herbert are the top 2

Says pretty much every draft expert, I haven’t seen anyone that’s high on this class

lol... there is no such thing because they all miss badly on players all the time. I see at least 3 guys that are every bit as good as Cousins was at Mich State. Maybe even better.

What if Colt plays well? We're getting way ahead of things from tossing dirt on Alex to thinking Colt can't be the starter heading into 2019. Pump the brakes folks.

If he plays lights out and we win the division then maybe so but I just don't think that will happen. We will find out in 3 days
