Cards have zero interest in McCarron according to their local beat guy. He made it sound like they think he's pretty much rubbish.



Haha!!!

They got rid of Kizer. He is now in Green Bay. They acquired a decent veteran QB as a stopgap, a guy who could excel in Hue's offense while a rookie develops behind him and added two more quality starters, including perhaps the top slot receiver in football while largely giving up jack crap in compensation. They made off like bandits and still have 5 picks in the 1st two rounds of the draft.

Those dudes are killing it thus far.

I agree, they are winning this off season so far. Their offense SHOULD be pretty sick if they add Saquon Barkley. But damn!!!, Gordon, Landry, Njoku to go with Barkley!!! I really do hope the Browns win their division it would be epic!!!

Killing it the offseason, will still find a way to miss the playoffs.

It's time to resurrect this thread. With the hiring of Anthony Lynn as AsstHC, and the need for a better backup to Trey Lance than Nate Sudfeld, Tyrod Taylor's name comes to the table.

His best years were with Buffalo where his running and passing went a long way to keeping the offense decent and the chair warm for Josh Allen. He will be 33 years old this season. He still has something close to his 4.4 speed and knows the RPO style of play. His last contract was for $5.5AAV with Houston. He should be willing to come for roughly that same amount this year. He has a veteran presence and enough stuff left to prevent a major dropoff from Lance should he be called on in case of injury.

Of all the UFA QBs that are out there, he looks to be the best fit. He is not quite as good as Teddy Bridgewater but I doubt Denver will allow him to leave. Marcus Mariota is another name out there but he is a full step below Taylor.

What say you all?

He's definitely near the top of my list for backups, especially at that price.

Would be a good pickup. All the Jimmy bashers are gonna find out it ain't as easy as they think to replace a QB. Trey has all the mental and physical traits to play, ZERO experience. There will be growing pains. Tyrod will be needed.

I could totally see Shanny liking Marcus Mariota.

I would expect there to be competition between Mariota and Taylor among teams that are looking for a bridge or a backup. IMO, Mariota loses out to Taylor in a straight-up comparison.

As far as the 49ers and Taylor is concerned, I don't see him coming to a place where he knows he has no chance to start unless the money is very good. He is coming off a year in which he lost out to Davis Mills, not because he was inferior but because the HC saw Mills as the future but just needed time to develop. If I were Taylor, I am not going back into another deal like that without a significant payday.
He seems like the best option as a backup.

If Denver trades for an Aaron Rodgers or a DangerRuss then Teddy might want out. He could be shipped out as part of a deal like that otherwise I think he gets moved for a draft pick or picks separately.

Bridgewater is UFA this year.

I saw a rumor that Tampa will go after him. I think they should go all in on Trask.
Definitely seems to be one of the top options especially now that Lynn is here. I can easily see this signing
