The list of QBs you couldn't have got for this price is Andrew Luck, Tom Brady, Cam Newton, Philip Rivers and maybe Eli?

You probably could have gotten Matthew Stafford for this price. I think at least.

BTW Tripp, I saw on Twitter something similar to what you said some weeks ago...about Shanahan not caring about the first rounder in two or three years years.

I think it makes sense in a way. Shanahan is going to roll with RG3, get two years with him to make it work. And well if he doesn't work out, MS would be gone.
