Cousins, one of Keenum/Bridgewater, Bradford, and good chance for Tyrod and Eli.

Bridgewater hasn't taking a single meaningful pass in 2 years, yet he's a guaranteed upgrade? lol..

Bradford can't stay on the field. He literally hurts his knees just moving around. He's a 30 year old, playing in a 60 year old's body...

Keenum is doing exactly what Bortles is doing for us. Being carried by a great Defense. Make a few plays here and there. He isn't an upgrade.

Cousins would be an upgrade, but not a $25 mil+++ a year upgrade. He isn't that good.

Eli's best days are long behind him. What does he have left to play for? He's starting his decline and throws a bunch of INTs as well.

I still don't see what the love affair for Tyrod is. The Bills have been trying to get rid of him for years because he isn't good, yet you can't just dump somebody when you have nobody behind him. They got the first hand experience of what happens when you try to. It's called 5 INTs in one half of football by a rookie who had no business being on the field.

That's why we'd "be happy with keeping Blake"

But other than the Ravens who self admittedly completely botched their first and only attempt at a London game, Blake has been bad against the good defenses he has played. He was passable against the Bengals, and poor against the Rams, Steelers, and Chargers. And there is still virtually no QB you are less confident in if the game is on the line. Pray the defense and special teams dominate, or we lose. That's been the entire year.

You don't just get rid of an Average+ QB when you literally have nothing behind him. We can sit here all day and talk about how there should be upgrades in the Draft and FA, but at the end of the day, how often does that really pan out? Not often.

I'm still of the belief that we'll bring in another QB through the draft, or via FA, because Bortles can be upgraded, but that doesn't mean you just dump him and throw all your eggs into a Rookie's basket, or some FA. The grass isn't always greener on the other side and you should already know this, if you're a fan of this team.

If the "average+" part of your statement was correct then I would agree with everything you just said, but unfortunately it isn't. He's still below average in virtually every way. Man facing the UDFA rookie CB1 Colts really skews opinions.

It doesn't skew my opinion. I only got to watch the last 2 minutes of the game. I slept through it because I didn't get to sleep until 6am the night before, due to being out all Saturday night. So I didn't even get to see him play in the game.
