Well, lets hit it head-on; Anyone else besides Darnold?

What's Case Keenum doing these days?  (sorry)

C'mon now...

Who has some traits that can work for a season in a KOC offense???

 Maybe bring along a rook, how to handle being a pro. 

I really don't care at this point. I just don't want to see KAM and KOC act like whatever dipshit they bring in for a bridge this season, actually has a shot to do anything. 

Honestly, what makes the most sense is try someone that has some upside still. Like a Zach Wilson. Yep, he's probably going to continue to suck, but what if somehow the lightbulb goes on for him in a new venue? He's talented. Does it make sense to bring skid marks like Minshew or Keenum or the like in there? 

Some rumors about us making an offer for Pickett

Lol!

"Skid Marks"

 Of course they're going to try and paint it palatable.

No guesses but its time for KOC to start whispering 

@"purplefaithful" said: There aint much out there folks...

 Garrapallo?
Fields for a later pick? 
Z.Wilson?

Could do a trade for a Brissett or something of that cut of meat...

see the fields thread... why give away draft stock ( which could be used to help this franchise) for another teams failures?  shop free agency and roll with what you find there.

What if what you find there is Joe Flacco, Brett Favre, and Todd Marinovich?

Flacco is your camp veteran getting one last chance, meanwhile he is a mentor to Hall and QBOTF. I really dont care,  Ive said for a while 24 would be throw away season while all the changes get acclimated,  find that rookie QB,  and get ready to ride with him by mid to late season if Hall or Mullins dont blow your skirt up.  This is the year the coach and GM were positioning for all along,  its on them going forward to show us what their vision was for this franchise.

I see no reason to not stick with Mullens at this point.  He's as good as whats left out there.

My guess is your bridge QB will be one of these 3:

Darnold (played together with our new QB coach)
Brissett
Tannehill - still decent and played ok till he got the ankle injury, fit with play action

I would give up a 4th or a 5th for Fields and see if you have anything.  It aint like we've shown we can do anything with a 4th round pick anyways.

I agree mostly but I see two problems.

1. We don’t have that rookie yet so they damn sure better draft one. Let’s assume they do.

2. These “bridge” guys you mention are so cooked that any rookie worth a crud should be outplaying them by week 1 anyway. So what’s the point? Even Minshew who we just missed out on was behind Anthony Richardson last year. He got hurt so maybe that was a mistake but still. If Mullins turns it over 12 times in the first month then what was even the point.

The further down the list of FA QBs we go the more inclined I am to say the hell with it and start whoever we draft.

Idk. It’s a clusterfrick. Fields is a terrible bridge QB due to his unique playing style but if we’re trying to win football games then it’d be dumb to roll Flacco or Dobbs out there instead. At least with a rookie they could sell that he’s gaining experience.

A few hours from now maybe I’ll come around to your side on this haha. Still collecting my thoughts on this wild day!

They were talking a 2nd for Fields and I wouldn't give anywhere close to that for him.
