    1) Acquire either: Drew Brews, Philip Rivers, Eli Manning, Matthew Stafford, Matt Ryan, whoever above average QB is available

    2) Try anything (within reason) to draft a high rank QB, I don't care if you have to trade up

    these aren't 'choose either option 1 or 2'

    we better fuking do both, because this is fuking chit.

    Do what Elway did when he acquire Peyton and drafted Osweiler in the same year. Instead of picking a faulty QB, get a top 2 or 3 QB with you first and gear for the future while staying competitive now.

    Draft:
    1)QB
    2)RB
    3)etc


    Finding a QB should be our priority by a large, large, laaaarge margin

    Get a proven veteran QB (Staford, Kapernick, Brees) draft a RB and another young QB in the first two rounds, and cut Hoyer.

    QB

    Then...

    a TE that can actually catch the ball.
    A LT because Duane Brown ain't gettin any younger.
    RB with some size that isn't made of glass.

    Which above average QB is a free agent? I guarantee you a team with a non-FA QB is going to ask for the world, for their struggling QB.

    Agree.

    Get a proven veteran QB if possible. Sign offensive players in free agency.

    Fire Rick Smith. Bring in new blood, someone who thinks diff. I can't believe he is still here.


    Draft a QB, RB & Oline. Top 3 positions that have to be addressed. QB pick should be 1st or 2nd round. No later.

    O'Brien has gone 9-7 his first two seasons. He will be kept. Maybe a change on Offensive Coordinator but I don't see that. Bob will be here till he has a losing season. McNair has no balls to make a sudden change, he gives 12 chances before he cuts ties with you.

    Goodbye to Foster. Yates, Weeden & maybe even Savage. I don't think bob will draft a QB and still keep Savage. Hoyer will def be the backup if we sign someone. He will want a veteran backing someone up.

    Qb, rb, slot wr/returner, another pass rusher to go with JJ and mercy, and safety help.

    Kicker & Punter as well. Lechler should retire and if we had a kicker who could actually kick touchbacks, that first TD never would've happened.

    Kicker too. Dustin Hopkins has been everything the Skins have hoped for and more, and they signed him off the streets bc Forbath couldn't get touchbacks.

    If the Eagles cut him I'm sure he would go hide behind that Cowboys line again

    Your #1 priority is a fantasy. No one lets guys like that go. Makes it tough to take your thoughts seriously frankly.

    This is true, lol, but someone had to start an off-season needs thread.
    I also concur with the TE need. All the current ones were drafted by the Texans and just don't produce.

    Hoyer will turn his career around, bros. Just got to cheer harder and not boo.

    Can't really use that as an example.

    Coming off like, four neck surgeries? Due to be paid a crapton of money? Those factors, plus the fact that Indy drafted Andrew Luck made the Manning decision a lot easier.

    And that's also the main factor - Manning was a FA if the Colts didn't sign him. Out of all those QBs you listed, which one is a FA right now? Brees?

    Lastly, please don't counter with "no one gives a ***." Like that poster said, it makes it hard to take you seriously. Show some maturity.

    ^right that was a similar to Drew Brees being available.

    But, like I said, whoever is AVAILABLE. If they're not, we're just going to roll with drafting a QB (hopefully two) and Savage.

    It wouldn't be unheard of. These QBs are aging and on loser teams, with many of them having new HCs coming in. Teams that have high draft pick and can afford to start over.
