Re: WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021
 

[quote=Pervis_Griffith;1277022]I'm with most of the opinions in this thread on Darnold.

Definitely not a 1st round pick for him. Or even a 2nd.

For a 3rd though? And throw in a later round pick? Sure, pull the trigger.

Maybe he's Tannehill part 2, and blossoms once he's no longer saddled with shitty ass coaching from Adam Gase. If that's true, then you have a top 3 drafted pick, with talent (and underrated mobility), finally getting a chance to shine.

But if he still sucks?? You haven't lost much at all.


Use free agency, and the draft, to fill in the other pieces, and give us some depth. Positioning us for finding our QB next year, if Darnold is a bust. Something tells me he isn't going to be though.[/quote]


I generally agree with your Darnold take. The big issue, of course, is that if he's good you have to pay him immediately.

Which is the allure of rookie QBs. I personally don't like either of the QBs that may be available at 19 (Lance/Jones), and I sure as hell don't want to trade up for Fields (Not a fan. At all). If we could somehow get up to get Wilson I'd be thrilled, but I can't see how they'd be able to do that.

My preferences would be:

A. Trade the farm for Watson (unlikely)
B. Trade up for Wilson (unlikely)
C. Trade a 3rd for Darnold (?)
D. Sit tight and pick off the scrap heap for this year (likely)

@RapSheet
The Washington Football Team has agreed to terms on a 2-year extension for QB Taylor Heinicke, sources say, worth $8.75M. There are also incentives depending on how many games he starts. Real security for their resilient QB who started and impressed in the playoff game.[/quote]

Good move, absolutely no reason to let him go. Who knows maybe he gets a legit chance to play if all else fails. Those 5 quarters earned him a nice pay bump.

Re: WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021
 

Yeah I'm glad they kept him on board

Re: WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021
 

Hope he hits the gym hard this offseason. Durability is definitely the major concern with him.

Re: WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021
 

He has potential but yeah that dude looks like he weighs 160 pounds lol

Your 2021 starter folks. If you don’t like it, get over it! 😉

Rationale: we aren’t going to bet the farm on a top tier QB. We will settle for signing/trading for a mid tier vet QB who will be in competition for the starting job. Because of Heinicke’s familiarity with the system, he is ultimately going to win the starting QB competition.

that is my biggest concern with him . . . i think he can play, as long as he can stay on the field and be playing close to 100%, not playing injured all the time or missing games.

Kind of cringe that we're selling a shirt based on a QB that lost a playoff game

Re: WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021
 

I love the move. I hope he gets a shot (barring Watson/Wilson surprise) I don't think any other qb out there deserves the automatic starting nod anymore than he does.

I wonder what they do with Allen?

Well said President.

Seriously, solid move, would be stupid not to give him a shot, and at the very least keep him as a good back up.
Plus, when you're trying to build a culture, you keep guys that earned it. Especially when it doesn't hurt you cap wise.

I don't see why they wouldn't re-sign Allen too.

I'd put Allen as the favorite to start if it comes down to him and Heinicke.

Love that shirt. Heinicke reminds me of Gus Frerotte in the sense of being the overriding fan favorite.

That said, I think it's unfair to label him as a qb who lost a playoff game. The Bucs defense was legit, and Heinicke moved the team effectively. It was definitely the lack of pressure that lost the game. Add in the fact that he was only on the team 4 weeks, and I think the t-shirt is a right fair play. My birthday is in June if anyone feels the same ;)

Well it's not labeling, we lost the game. Just seems a little odd to celebrate that is all.
