Big Blue Huddle

Quote from: Jclayton92 on March 11, 2025, 03:45:56 PMMy suspicion is that if we wanted Russell Wilson he would sign immediately. We are holding out for Rodgers and is why Wilson hasn't signed yet.


Kind of an out of the box thought but I'd love to sign Rodgers for 2 years, and trade a 4th or 5th for Milton and let him be the development guy. I feel significantly better about Milton than Sanders, plus this would allow you to use the entire draft for bpa to go with the great defense you've assembled. Use the draft for offense, and we could have a really solid squad.

I'm curious why.  Milton was terrible in college.  He couldn't keep job at Michigan and he flopped throwing to wide open guys in Josh Huepel's Tennessee offense.  I mean, you are a SEC fan, correct?  You see how open Tennessee gets guys (heck, it got us stuck with Hyatt) and Milton took a good team/offense led by Hendon Hooker and performed at 1/3 of Hooker's level (different receivers than Hooker had, I get that).  I know he had a great game for Pats last year in his one start, but Milton is not good, IMO

The two left:

Rodgers
Wilson

So who gets left chasing Jamis Winston?

Us, of course.

He has good bones, what I mean by that is that he has a rocket for an arm, and is extremely athletic, I think he ran a 4.50 40. Had a really solid preseason for the patriots that had fans wanting him to start over Brissett. He then had that one game for Maye where he played really well. Daboll has done some really good things with Qbs that have great bones like a rocket arm and mobility. I'd rather him take a chance on Milton for a 4th than Sanders for a 1st. You're gambling with either one, but at least milton has done it in an NFL game and you're only giving up a 4th or 5th instead of number 3 overall.

Quote from: Stringer Bell on March 11, 2025, 03:58:05 PMI think this is 100% correct.

I don't want to give any vet - especially Rodgers - a 2-year deal. Reason being is that even with a trade for Milton - which I'm onboard with - I still would want to draft a QB high in 2026. With Rodgers or Russ in tow for 2025, it's not like we're going to learn much about Milton. So we'll still need options - and while I agree Milton has promise - I think the '26 class of QBs will have upwards of 5 guys with at least as much (if not more) promise as Milton.

No I agree with you,I'd rather take a shot on Qb in the 2026 draft as well. Was just throwing it out there as an alternative.

Well, if you want to guarantee the #1 overall pick, you should be screaming for DeVito to start all 17 games.

I'd rather pay the extra capital to move up next year than watch another year with Devito.

Why are some of us willing to accept guys like Milton, and Winston? To put it mildly with either one the dreck will continue. They are no better than the crap we have had. Yes I realize the QB room is empty. Sign a vet other than the two mentioned and draft two QB's. Dart and Cook, develop both. There is precedent. The Commanders drafted Griffin 111 and Cousins the same year, the pokes drafted Aikman and Steve Walsh the same year.

I find it fascinating we still don't have a QB.

Absolutely fascinating to imagine what is going on behind the scenes.

Thanks!  I don't necessarily agree but I get your point. Thanks for response
