The Remaining QB Dominos Should Start To Fall Today

[londonblue]

I hope Rodgers takes Pittsburgh and we choose a cheaper veteran than Wilson as the bridge. I am not averse to trading a day 3 pick this year or next to take a punt on a guy like Hooker or Milton.

[Ed Vette]

Rodgers has the better hand. Once he signs, Wilson's value drops. The Giants are waiting it out for both, but if Rodgers goes to the Steelers, then they figured they could get a better deal for Wilson. The downside of gambling is that another player comes into the game. If their preference was Rodgers, they had no choice but to wait it out. That appears to be the case. They want Rodgers.

Of course, what we think or want is of no consequence nor is our rationalizing whether sound or otherwise. If it a choice between Rodgers and Wilson I would prefer the latter, while hoping it to be neither.

I see little point in speculating on what may drive Joe Schoen's decision in the matter, whether the consequences are seen as good, bad or indifferent (see bad). What we should hope is that it isn't entirely about his, and Daboll's, job security.

In any event, short-term improvement, if such were to happen, may do little or nothing to benefit the future unless this year's Draft brings with it the QB of the future. And if not, any significant improvement this season might be a burden on future opportunity, which is a godawful way to look at things but nonetheless a reality in such a chance-influenced process. That, my friends, is why I never have and never will predict or project much of anything about the Giants future decision-making. It's a pleasure I leave to others while in no way lessening my rooting interest. In fact, I find it better that way; less ego deceiving.

Cheers!

Potentially lost in all this is collusion between the Giants and Steelers.

The NFLPA used to make noise about this but everyone is making a ton of money so they shut up. Notice how the concussion thing is "fixed" too.

Especially in the case of these two teams, its more probable than not a Mara called a Rooney. One of their kids is named after the Steelers owners for goodness sake.

If it comes down to us and the Titans for Wilson, I like our chances.  Titans might even be a less desireable offense than us for a QB to step into and I think Russ would prefer NYC to Nashville.

Talk about projection and flights of fancy, some of you folks are worse than any of the media which you are always so quick to criticize for much the same reason. Yeezuskristofferson!

Interesting take on what all the QB hungry teams should do:


What I think the Quarterback hungry teams should do:

1. Pittsburgh Steelers

Smartest plan: Draft Jaxson Dart & sign Mason Rudolph

Next best: Trade for Joe Milton & sign Rudolph

Backup plans: Marcus Mariota, Trey Lance, trade for Anthony Richardson, draft Jalen Milroe or Quinn Ewers

2. New York Giants

Smartest plan: Do whatever it takes to get Cam Ward

Next best: Do whatever it takes to get Shedeur Sanders

Backup plan: Create a competition between Mariota & Jameis Winston

3. Tennessee Titans:

Smartest plan: Draft Cam Ward & trade Will Levis away

Next best: Draft Shedeur Sanders

Backup plan: Kirk Cousins & Mason Rudolph

4. Cleveland Browns:

Smartest plan: Draft Shedeur Sanders

Next best: Kirk Cousins & Trey Lance, go back in time and get rid of Kenny Pickett

Backup plan: Mariota & Joe Flacco

I do NOT think anyone should sign Aaron Rodgers.

I do NOT think anyone should sign Russell Wilson.

Both are bad ideas.

Aside from his grating personality and life choices - both of which are his to decide upon. What is the indifference to Rodgers?

The passing numbers, whilst the lowest of his career, were still better than we've seen since Eli. Why wouldn't a team want that?

I think the most compelling argument against Rodgers is that the Jets opted to replace him with Fields.

Welp, there goes one of my favorites

Tomlin and Rodgers would be an interesting personality combination.  Rodgers won't get to GM from the huddle in Pittsburgh.

to the tune of a 49 mill dead cap

He should have checked with Larry first.

[Giant Obsession]

I think Earl Morrall is still available.

or may Don Strock

So when Aaron Rodgers said, "Malik Nabers sounds great.  Who else do you have?"

Joe Schoen replied, "Now we cut to a commercial."
