Quote:There really isn't much out there in terms of vets to push Blake. These are the most likely candidate:


Tony Romo

Jay Cutler

Colin Kapernick

Nick Foles

Robert Griffin

Mike Glennon

Brian Hoyer

Ryan Nassib

Tyrod Taylor - Highly unlikely

Kirk Cousins - Even more unlikely

Jimmy Garoppolo

AJ McCarron

Brett Hundley


Am I forgetting anyone?

 

Tony Romo is old and fragile as glass. (No)

 

Jay Cutler is not liked by his teammates and may be worse than Bortles. (No)

 

Kaepernick is an inaccurate passer and couldn't even beat out Gabbert at the beginning of the year. (No)

 

Nick Foles isn't great, but could push Bortles. (O.K.)

 

Robert Griffin is a smallish, run first QB who is always injured and makes boneheaded plays. (No)

 

Mike Glennon isn't ideal, but could push Bortles. (O.K.)

 

Brian Hoyer gets worse every year and isn't an upgrade from Bortles. (No)

 

Ryan Nassib is a downgrade from Bortles. (No)

 

Tyrod Taylor is not an upgrade from Bortles and I can't see Buffalo getting rid of him just yet. (No)

 

Kirk Cousins would be great, but it's a million to one shot that we could lure him away. (Yes)

 

Jimmy Garrappolo is someone I like, but it depends on if the Pats will get rid of him and what the price is. (Yes)

 

A.J. McCarron is someone I like as well, but living in Cincy and hearing the discussions of what the price tag would be, I know he would cost us a ton. Alot has been said about the Bengals asking for a 1st round pick and an additional high round pick as well. I don't know if I would do that deal. (undecided)

 

Brett Hundley is a downgrade. (No)
