Calling it now. Dave signs him to give Bortles competition for 2017.

I'd like that a lot. I just think it's a longshot.

i know there isnt much else in the way of options but bringing in bad quarterbacks for competition isnt something to be excited for.

Why does anybody think it would help to bring in a QB who was benched in favor of a player who was later benched in favor of a rookie? Nick Foles asked to be released by the Rams because Case Keenum and a draft pick were better.

I never thought Foles was why the Chiefs won because of the stupid touchback. But who knows, he could have won the game without officiating help anyway.

I believe the Chiefs were like 1/14 on 3rrd down? So is he competing with Bortles or Henne?

Penalties were probably part of it.

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

Romo, Cutler, and Kaepernick I would add as more possible than guys like Cousins or Garoppolo.

Oh yeah, don't know why my brain slipped on them. Just added them to the list.

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)

Big no on Colin Kaepernick. You know it's bad when a guy loses his job to someone named Blaine Gabbert two straight years.

Glennon and Foles arent going to push bortles if he isnt pushing himself already. Its fine to have them as safety blankets i guess but theyre not doing anything for blake, theyre bad qbs.

Tyrod Taylor is a better version of Bortles.
