Re: Stafford in WFT Plans? He’s Available

Is it ok if I secretly hope that A-Rod is still pissed about the Packers drafting Jordan Love enough for him to retire, then we lose the bidding war for Stafford and plan on going into the season with Heinicke as QB1, then after the draft is over Rodgers gets the itch to play again and pulls a Favre to get out of his deal and signs with us as a free agent? I can still dream that right?

There is only one A Rod and he was a asshole.

First this year draft and 2nd next year...I’m not thinking twice

Why isn’t Stafford a Redskin yet? Ron, get this done

Y’all killing me with these “Ron needs to show me”, “Ron needs to do what I demand or I won’t trust him anymore” or “Why ain’t this done yet” posts.

This article sums up how I feel about the Stafford sweepstakes (and Watson for that matter). I'm torn, because I'm not sure it's a great idea to give away assets when there are still so many needs. Especially if you can get a quality QB in free agency (I still think that is the way to go).

I guess I would do a first and third if that will get it done, and would still allow them to make some moves in free agency, sign Scherff, etc. But I'm not ok with throwing in any players, and I'm not ok with giving away any more draft picks.

So what decent QB do you think is available in FA? The names I’ve seen are pretty blah unless a surprise or two happens. That’s why I think they may do a trade even if it might me too much (hopefully not too much), strike while you can because of FA is a bust you’re stuck with Allen and Heinicke, which I consider less than ideal.

Speak your mind newbie. If there's somebody who said something you disagree with, address them directly. Don't be vague about it.

Go big or get the F out. I don't want to dick around with some BS like Jimmy G or Darnold. Those guys are borderline upgrades to what we already have.

Bingo.

Stafford
Watson
Dak

That's the top 3 for me

Re: Stafford in WFT Plans? He’s Available

I'ma get the F out then if go big means giving away more than #19 and #74. You can have a Matthew Stafford in the building, but if you don't have enough pieces around him, it won't matter.

Just sayin - Jimmy G was 5 minutes away from winning the SB last year, because he had a SB caliber cast around him. I'm not suggesting they go get him, but in my opinion, they shouldn't go big at the expense of the rest of the roster.

Go big not go stupid. We have cap space and 8 draft picks. There is a lot of maneuvering that can be done within that framework to get a qb and still build the team.

Agreed. Another thing people forget is that if you have a Watson/Stafford/Dak at QB, you don't need to have a defense that carries your team.

The defenses dominated the 4th quarter of the GB vs.TB championship game.

True, but I don't think our defense takes a step back if get any of those QBs. Hell, even if we have to trade Allen or Payne (I think it will likely be Allen), we get Matty I. back in that D-line.

Not saying you are advocating this approach, but this is a terrible idea.

Even Mahomes needed a competent defense to win a title last year.

Neglecting any area of the team in favor of the "stud qb wins titles" approach would be a bad idea.
