I See QB Rumors (2012 QB Thread: The Sixth Sense)

[TenandSix:Unacceptable]

I want Luck so bad. Damn, I just can't see it happening tho.

I would honestly be happy with any package needed to get him.

I'm afraid that whoever the Skins get will fail here.

Me too. Our track record with QBs has been pretty crappy the last decade plus.

Smoot & SC,

Thanks for letting us get a peek into the inner workings of franchise this offseason. Whether or not these potential trades are executed, it shows me that the Skins front office is headed in the right direction. We have been without a franchise signal caller since forever. When was theblast time a Skins QB was even selected to the Pro Bowl?

Our franchise is stuck in the mire of averageness until we get a young QB who we can build a dynasty with. MS knows QB's....I am all for having him go hard after the one(s) he and KS feel are elite.

For The Record: the couple of years that I have been browsing this site, Smoot has never done anything to make me doubt his intel. I would consider his intel beyond reproach.
(Except the Jevan Snead crush a couple years back)

If I'm not mistaken, Brad Johnson was selected to the Pro Bowl during the '99 season. Before that, Gus Frerotte was selected to the Pro Bowl in '97.

Gus is only remembered for giving himself a concussion and Brad just seems to get overlooked by everyone. I thought Brad was a very good QB while he was here. Mistakenly, we let him walk away and he went on too win again elsewhere.

Well..the Snead crush was more for comedic effect than anything else...but thank god no one remembers when I said "I'm not so sure about Aaron Rodgers, wouldn't surprise me to see Ingle Martin give him a run"

I have been a fan for 20 years and I don't even claim any qb we've had

The Tony Banks to Shane Matthews transition doesn't make you all tingly inside?

I'd love either scenario... Things will be much clearer in the coming weeks as Mannings fate is decided.

Question for SS, if Manning is released prior to his bonus date, which precedes the league year beginning, can teams speak to him/evaluate his status prior to free agency?

As I understand it yes.

And thank you to SC for his collaboration on this.

Yes, if Mannning or any other player is released now that player is up for grabs by any team in the league. The same goes for any player who is a free agent now. TO for example could be signed by anyone right now.

When the league year begins in March is when players like Laron Landry will be available for any team to sign. Or players like Vjax, Desean and all other FA. These players contracts don't officially end till the league year begins, so until then they are still the property of their respective teams.

Is that clear or do you have another question pertaining to FA and when they are available to sign.

Well obviously players who are still under contract with their current teams (like the projected UFA) are off limits but I wasn't sure how the new CBA was written pertaining to players released during the existing league year but after all games were completed. I'm not a moron, just seeking clarification.

I was not assuming you were I was just trying to answer your question. If Peyton was released today and the Dolphins came to terms with him today, they could sign him today. As could any other team. The Pats could go out and sign TO before the SB if they really wanted to.

Not trying to state you were a moron bud, just making sure what I wrote was understandable.
