It seems like every year, the Raiders try to trade away late round draft picks for a backup QB in hopes of striking gold. It was Matt Flynn last year, Schaub this year, Carson Palmer... oh wait that last one

A big reason why Schaub sucked so much was a combination of the lingering effects of his foot injury (gently caress you, Haynesworth) and the poo poo we had to play at LG and RT due to their drafted replacements getting injured.

Adam Caplan @caplannfl 18m New #Texans QB Ryan Fitzpatrick will earn $4 M in year one of his two-year deal. And guarantees are in year one. None in year two. Details That makes me feel better about the signing.

Recursive posted:To expound on this, I think that there's even less of a gap between the 2nd and 3rd levels of QBs available in this draft. I'd rather hit the LB position at 8 and pick up McCarron or Fales late rather than take a flier on JFF or Bortles. If Bridgewater falls, I'd go for him, but I'm probably wrong. I agree to a point, but I'm not sure if weaker armed QBs would be a good fit. Turner runs a vertical offense and the Vikings are going to be playing the next two seasons outdoors at TCF, so if a guy like Fales doesn't have the arm strength to cut through the wind and cold the next two seasons, then he may fall out of favor before the Vikings move to their new stadium. Granted that doesn't mean they should take someone like Tahj Boyd just because he has a strong arm, but it should be a factor in who they choose. I'm very interested to see who Turner chooses and I still think that they'll end up taking two QBs in this draft. This QB class seems to get more confusing as time goes on and there's part of me that thinks that there won't be the early run on QBs that everyone is expecting. QBs always get over-drafted, but if teams think there isn't much of a drop off between QBs in the top 10 and the late 1st to early 2nd, then I think you'll see some QBs slide and a lot of demand for teams to trade back into the late 1st.

He was benevolent enough to see a fledgling franchise off the ground, punished cruelly by a banishment to Carolina, then imparted the secrets of the wind to Eli and gained a ring out of the process.

how the gently caress can a general manager stand up in a press conference and say this is our quarterback, Bortles, we've selected a person named bortles to be our quarterback. Bortle us to the super bowl. Buy a jersey that says "bortles."

Blake Bortles is the Brownsiest (Browns-est?) QB name ever In other news LeGarrette Blount is visiting the Steelers http://nesn.com/2014/03/report-legarrette-blount-scheduled-to-visit-with-steelers/ I'll miss him if he goes, but I don't know how the Patriots could pay for him. Dude was rock solid until the AFC Championship so he probably earned a payday from someone.

gently caress you guys I'm still gonna say Stedman bailey will emerge a bad rear end slot guy! Arg. Where'd he go, round 4? I'm still standing by my love for him. Hated geno and Austin coming out though, I'm glad you pointed out his chest catching too. He's so unnatural with the ball

To be fair, only one of 32 teams fell for the dynamic duo of Austin and Bailey. How the gently caress was drafting both of them a good idea?

Geno at least looked like a competent QB at times and him getting picked up in the early second was fair. That draft kinda sucked for QBs anyway. People were mocking Geno high because there just wasn't any other QBs to do it to, and there always seems to be a top 10 QB taken. I ended up mocking him high for the same reason. He has an arm, he can run, the problem is definitely his mechanics. He needed to sit and learn but the problem with today's rookie wage scale is they get thrown to the wolves then benched if they aren't instantly good.

You really think the pay scale has something to do with an organization's patience with a rookie? I'd like to hear more about this. With the way he and Glennon are being trashed I suspected that teams are starting to act impatiently towards the development of a QB. I'm being completely serious by the way.

Considering that QB is a position where there is no rotation and is arguably the most important position on the field, teams used to be loathe to bench a rookie that was making huge amounts of cash. Geno is on a very friendly four year deal that the Jets can just sit on if they want to and grab a new QB. It definitely feels like teams are impatient with their cheap QBs now.

So Dezmon Briscoe and I were classmates in high school and sucks to see him get tossed around in FA. I remember he had a pretty solid year with the Bucs in 2011 as a 4th/5th string WR. IIRC he had something like 400 yds and 5 TDs. Anyone here familiar with his skillset and whether or not he's getting any attention?
