My choices in order of preference:
1) Bradford (if this happens, would be ecstatic).
2) Luck (if Colts pass on him so Peyton and rookie get along better)
3) RG3 - I'm still skeptical on running QBs, but does seem smarter & accurate..
4) Flynn - one game wonder, sure, but he still looked better than Rex ever did.
5) Orton - doesn't seem to win, but his numbers always seem to look good
6) Hoyer - Wouldn't be excited about this, but rumors here say he's highly regarded


Bradford would be wonderful, because we could land a proven franchise QB. Our O-line and WR core sucks - but is probably better than the Rams. Think he would do well here. I've read Clausen's name thrown around, but wouldn't want him here - seems like a bust already.

I think Bradford would be a perfect fit here, do have concerns about his health though

I don't think trading for Luck would necessarily be much more difficult than RG3

I don't think I'd label RG3 a "running QB" but I do think the gap between him and Luck is greater than others do

Not against getting Flynn that shouldn't be our only QB move then

Would tolerate Orton as a stopgap/backup as long as we draft a QB (or two)

I haven't seen enough of him, but there is a lot (A LOT) of buzz about him. Rumors of him coming here, of him returning home to Ohio to play for the Browns, of the Chiefs even showing interest. I've talked to a few scouts who have said Hoyer is better than Flynn. I don't know
