No one is trying to silence you, that’s childish. I thought we were getting somewhere, but I guess not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think KOC is interested in outside QBs either, what would that say about his head coaching to the QB position. I play Hall but I’d also accept trades for some of our players if the value is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I don't see them trading anyone away. Part of the NFL is next man up and I don't think it would sit well with the locker room to blow it up just because they lost a player, even if it was a huge loss 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 This is my guess at what they will do, not what I think they should do: they will likely look for a veteran stop gap, but there aren’t many that will be available for what they are willing to give away. With less than 48 hours before the deadline there isn’t going to be enough time to move their big pieces AND feel out the QB market. i think they end up rolling with Hall and Mullens while maybe signing Mannion to be the third QB as an extra teacher, while Cousins is on IR and trying to contribute from the sidelines. They are going to try to thread the needle with the pieces they have, and maybe add to the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably better than trading away picks to get anyone who’s actually available. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closet I can come up with is Ryan Tannehill, and that seems like a stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Wentz has fallen out of favor of, ummm every NFL team as he remains a free agent. A former 2nd overall pick free agent. What happened to him or is he simply a bust? Can a solid team, coach and locker room bring out the best in Wentz? He had all the tools, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll need someone to hold the clipboard next week. I suppose that will be Mannion? Maybe they will still with Hall and Mannion until the other guy gets back.

The closet I can come up with is Ryan Tannehill, and that seems like a stretch. Only one I’m interested in is maybe taking a flier on Trey Lance if he’s available since there may be some potential there, otherwise, I agree that throwing away a draft pick for a stop gap just to get a wild card spot as likely best case seems like such a bad move. But they really think they’ll do anything in the playoffs with a QB they trade for at the half way point? I remember long ago when they brought Josh Freeman in mid season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDBrocks Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Maybe give Matt Ryan a call? He looked pretty cooked last year, but this would be the best offense he’s played in since their Super Bowl appearance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting how a couple weeks ago people were still saying that Cousins should be traded to help a team make a run, but now most people are rightfully saying how difficult it would be for a new qb to come in and learn the system 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t Philip Rivers entertain the idea of coming out of retirement to play for SF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
