Oh ok, I took you saying we need 3 as we needed to draft a guy to have 3 on the 53 man roster. I don’t think we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Wouldn't mind signing Flacco to a 2-year deal to be Dwayne's backup. Flacco's maturity and chill attitude could help Dwayne avoid public meltdowns like the one he had with his O-Line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will see himself as the starter which will create problems for Haskins in his development. Flacco has also battled serious injuries the last few years.

I wouldn't be so confident in analyzing his character, but I doubt a 35 year old coming off the IR still legitimately views himself as a starter, especially after being replaced by rookie QBs the past 2 seasons. The guy brings a tonne of experience, and already lived in Maryland for a decade when he was playing in Baltimore. I could definitely see mutual interest in him signing a short term deal to be our new Keenum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 What about giving up basically nothing for Kyle Allen (or Will Grier)? What I’m looking for is a player who brings some familiarity with Scott Turner and his system. He doesn’t have much track record of being in control of things, so I just thought maybe look to Carolina — especially since they’ve brought in Teddy and probably won’t need to have two young guys behind him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT14 Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 If the Panthers would give up Grier for next to nothing, sure, but I think as of now, they'd hold him to develop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be for doing either. It just depends on the cost. Most likely Kyle Allen is the guy they'd move bc they just spent a high draft pick on Will Grier. Allen flashed last year and definitely looked like. He could be a long term back up in the league that we could depend on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to me, Allen would be an excellent option to put behind Haskins. Good enough to push him, probably not good enough to actually unseat him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaiphoon Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Just saw a rumor that with Brady to TB, we might be interested in Jameis. Big fat NO from me if true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e16bball Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Jameis should go take Teddy Bridgewater’s spot as the heir apparent to Brees and spend the whole year learning from how Brees/Payton do their thing. And then step into the role once Brees likely retires next year. Like an internship where you get an awesome job when you’re finished. And get paid millions while you’re interning. And your boss will apparently help cover up all your sexual improprieties for you 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
