WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021

[Pervis_Griffith]

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.

Darnold is like a pre-packaged sandwich at a grocery store. Doesn't excite you at all but is OK in a pinch if needed.

I'd offer a 4th and a 7th for him.

He's the opposite of Mac Jones. We have to compare the talent surrounding him to see if he really is that good. And for Darnold is he that bad, or just being associated with Gase is an anchor to any QB.

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)

I'd offer 3 1's today

[Monkeydad]

Well yeah, he's worth that price. Watson and Stafford are not.

Stafford was worth a 1st and 3rd.

I would pay 3 first rounders for Watson. By the time you have a first rounder again, he'll only be 28/29 years old.

And would give whatever Seattle wants for Russ in my fantasy world where he's available for a trade.

Watson is every bit the player as Russ. If he were in Seattle all these years he would have one championship just like Russ and probably more. Nothing against Russ. He is awesome. You are underestimating Watson though.

Huh?! Explain that one to me Nacho Libre. How is Russ worth 3 1st but Watson isn’t?

i'd take watson over wilson

I probably would too. Id be happy as fuck with either of them. I think Russ gets more acclaim mainly because he has had a really good staff and team around him unlike Watson. Also because of his stature. Russ is small and so it seems amazing that he does what he does. It is but at the end of the day Watson could do all the same things if he had the team and staff around him to do it.

[skinsfaninok]

would be shocked if Russ leaves SEA.

Let the Heinicke fever continue!

@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.

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.

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.
