    I do not want Brock at all.

    I watched pretty much every Broncos game last season because my wife's side of the family is loaded with die-hard Broncos fans. They dont even like him, but will settle for him if no other option is present.

    I watched every prime time game the Broncos had this past season and Osweiller is complete garbage you guys. I pray to my God every night we don't end up with him on our team.

    Not that I, or anyone, would do it...

    But it is interesting that it is the non-exclusive tag. So that's coming to an agreement with Cousins and then giving the Redskins 2 first round picks.

    Well, one of those picks you'd use to draft your QB anyway.

    So it's just a matter of 1 pick to do the equivalent of "move-up" and get the QB you think is your QB of the future. Well, that, and paying him a crap-ton.

    Again, no way i'd do it... but it is at least interesting to think about.

    Sam Bradford is the Jeff Fisher of quarterbacks.

    You guys think the Texans will bring back Fitzpatrick? He was good last year.

    I mean he'd be better than Hoyer, but it would be just an awful sign if they think that bad of a QB is acceptable.

    This could have some huge implications on the draft. If Kap sticks with SF, you could have 2 of the top 3 QBs available with the Rams and Jets ahead in need. Just need one of them to pass for a shot but in much better range for a trade at the very least.

    Did you miss the Browns? And don't sleep on the Cowboys, Bills, Bears and Saints looking to get their QB of the future like the Packers did with Rodgers.

    Just a lateral move from Hoyer. They're supposed to be getting a permanent solution at QB.

    Of course Mallet is available if we just want to tank

    I wouldn't mind Fitz + Savage + Lynch/Cook/Prescott. One of the best things about Fitzpatrick is he is comfortable if he is a backup and he'll come in "ready" when called upon. He won 10 games in the AFC East. He is absolutely better than Hoyer.

    Sure, you know that Fitz is better than Hoyer, sure I know that Fitz is better than Hoyer, sure pretty much everyone in the world knows that Fitz is better than Hoyer, but you'll never convince Mr Clutch or BOB about that.....which is why no matter what else happens, cutting Hoyer is the most important thing the Texans can do right now.

    Yeah, realistically we probably do need a placeholder for another year. Someone who can put up over an 80 QBrating.

    Fans won't like it though

    Ya that's why I put 2 of the top 3. A lot of things need to fall into place for the Texans to have a shot but the Eagles were one of the teams ahead of us that desperately needed a QB.

    As far as those other teams, I'd be most worried about the Cowboys but all of them have other huge needs outside of QB and a much higher pick than the Packers when they drafted Rodgers. Think Bills will roll with Taylor after the season he had.

    It depends on who the QB is. I think fans will be fine if they like the draft pick. If it's Lynch for instance, I think most fans will be okay with Fitz/Savage/Lynch. Not so much with Fitz/Savage/Cook or Hackenberg. I know it would never happen but I wouldn't mind drafting two QBs and let them duke it out in camp. But they absolutely have to kill in free agency in further improving their defense and running game.
