PFF: 3 teams that should target RGIII 1. Houston Texans The impression coming from Houston is that the organization is fed up of re-treads; the franchise wants a young QB to build around. Picking in the latter part of the first round makes that easier said than done, however. RG III would offer a potential upgrade on Brian Hoyer, and he fits Bill O’Brien’s offense. Griffin was most effective in the play-action heavy, zone-blocking scheme Mike Shanahan ran in his first year with the rookie QB. That season, Washington ran play fakes on 39.9 percent of passes, the highest we’ve seen since we started collecting that data in 2012. RG III finished third with a QB rating of 116.2 when using play action, completing 67.7 percent of his passes for 1,826 yards, nine touchdowns, and four interceptions. He managed six more yards per attempt when using a fake compared with running a simple straight drop. As for Houston, Brian Hoyer used play action on 25.4 percent of passes in 2015 (fifth-most frequent), suggesting RG III might be a good fit. Outside zone is also a staple of the Texans’ offense, which would allow O’Brien to mix in the bootlegs RG III had success with as a rookie. Houston is also looking for a backup QB after the Ryan Mallett debacle.
He doesn't realize we have somebody who fits it better on the team already in Savage. I really think Savage is going to impress this year.
As I posted yesterday or the day before, he was in Conroe two days ago. I'm guessing Woodlands or Conroe.
I'm not that high on Savage since we haven't really seen him do anything well. Maybe you are right about him impressing this year, but I'd rather have a back up plan like RG3 in place along with a drafted QB.
That's not just something you can go out and do. The best you can hope for is finding a reclamation project and making them into a quality starter or taking someone like Savage and making them into a quality starter or drafting a quality starter. Teams don't trade quality starting QB's often if ever and in the rare case that it happens, they are SUPER expensive.
Stafford may not be cheap but cheap keeps you trying to compete and win games with Fitzys and Hoys. I'm not saying go all Bears and Cutler but a reasonable trade should be able to be made with Detroit if we had a GM.
The options available are MUCH better than Fitz or Hoyer and the team that JUST won the SB is yet another example that you can win the SB without anything special (in Denver's case, a terrible QB) at QB so long as the rest of the team is on point. That's why I'm not really willing to sacrifice much for a QB that won't be an elite guy. Right now this team isn't far away from being a contender, they just need a fix at QB and RB and they don't need anything particularly special at QB.
