Rookie QB or Veteran QB for "Next Season"??? (I didn't bump this, but I ended up being wrong anyway....)

[Koolblue13]

I'm not saying that it's an ideal deal. I'm saying for a team without a starting QB, it's doable. 

[ODU AGGIE]

I think the only way for WFT to take Mariota is to wait for him to be cut (and that should happen before June 1), then sign him to a one-year contract in the $3.0M - $4.0M range, perhaps with some modest bonus if he starts some percentage of the games -- then come in and compete. If he becomes the starter and takes the team into the playoffs, he will be in a position to negotiate a long-term contract in line with his performance.

Actually correct thread.

 

Every mediocre QB out there signed by another team eliminates the possibility of bringing them here.

 

[Anselmheifer]

Am I the only one that thinks we should have outbid the Rams? Two 1sts for Stafford and we would probably be in the lead to sign Golladay and would be viewed as real contenders this year.

Not sure how I feel about this.......

[COWBOY-KILLA-]

I’m underwhelmed then again I’m a Wash fan so outside of a few moments over the last few decades I’ve always been underwhelmed by DC sports. 

[Cooleyfan1993]

Fitzmagic in DC. Well, this should be interesting 

[abdcskins]

Meh.  One year rental.  We need to trade up to draft someone next year or sign/trade for someone cuz we don't have a long term solution on the roster.

Fitzmagic! Good one year deal. 

[BatteredFanSyndrome]

Does this make us a serious threat? No.

 

Does this make us fun? Absolutely!

Jerry Jones said that Dak was the best QB in the NFC East.

 

Today, we made Jerry Jones a dirty liar.

Exactly.  That’s the sentiment.   Interesting and possibly fun with another WR.   Well until fitztragic shows up but am I wrong thinking it’s an upgrade over Alex?  
 

compete with Kyle and Heiny for starter.  Not the ultimate answer.  Another stop gap. 

[zCommander]

I will take it. 🙂

I like this. Fitz was the best of the fast dwindling options the Skins had at QB. There was no really great superstar QB left in free agency or in a possible trade. Trying for a Russell Wilson or Deshaun Watson (if they were even to become available) was going to be way too expensive, especially when they have so many needs at other positions. They still have to find a long term solution at QB but they were going to have to do that anyway. 

 

This way, they have a very competent QB squad (one capable of winning the NFC east and maybe even going farther) and they have a year to find out what they really have in Heinicke.

 

This also means that they don't have to spend a bunch of picks to move up in the draft to get one of the better QB choices in the draft. If one of the better QBs in the draft falls to them at 19 great. If not, they can draft another QB in a later round.

 

This team is due for some really great breaks for a change. They got one when Taylor looked as good as he did in the playoffs. They might get another one if Taylor really keeps looking as great as he has so far and can become the long term guy. Now they can gamble and wait to see if he can indeed become the superstar that he has shown flashes of becoming.  

 

I really, really like this move.

He will have a blast with McLaurin to throw to.

I'll leave it to others to stop posting in here as opposed to having it closed.

 

I wanted a veteran, not the the veteran I wanted, but a veteran none the less.

 

470 pages later, I'm happy.

Love the player, love the deal. 

 

I still want us to draft a QB this year regardless. He'll have a smart veteran QB with leadership qualities to learn from.
