QB Options not in the Draft

#41

Of the veteran free agents so far only 3 (really 2) make sense to me.  In no particular order...

Joe Flacco - My first thought is he is pretty much what the Jaguars need and fits the system that they are trying to build (power running, great defense).  He won a Super Bowl and has made it to the post-season in the same type of system.  The only issue is his age.  Perhaps a 3 year "team friendly" deal with incentives could get him here.

Nick Foles - He is playing some good ball for the Eagles, but has had kind of an up/down kind of career.  I don't think that he makes a good fit because he is going to command huge (starter) money and will want to go somewhere long term rather than as a "place holder".

Teddy Bridgewater - To me this is probably the best option.  He doesn't have a bunch of experience, but he has sat behind some pretty good QB's following his injury.  He is still young enough that he could be a longer term solution which enables the Jaguars to be patient when selecting a rookie QB over the next few drafts to compete for the starting job.

Now assuming the team is looking for a short term replacement, Flacco seems to me to be the logical choice.  He's got a few years left and isn't going to command big money.  However, he isn't going to want to sign a 1 year deal to be a "place holder".

Assuming the team is looking at a longer term, Bridgewater would be the logical choice.  This gives the team a bit more flexibility when drafting a young QB.  The downside is the price tag is going to be a bit more than Flacco.  The upside is Bridgewater is enough of an "unknown" that he could turn out to be "the guy" for a period of time.

In either scenario, I think Foles is going to be too expensive.


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
