probably won't happen, but was paid 1.2 mill last year and def played better than most back ups

JB was paid 5 mill
MM ws paid 11 mill the last two years for being a back up

Give me Tyrod, Trubisky, and Bridgwater in that order.

I think Trubisky would be the best of the 3 in this scheme though.
I'd probably take Foles or Mariota out of everyone off that list. I would say Trubisky but I think he will go somewhere he can compete for a starting job and he deserves another shot in my opinion.
I want Tyrod but I'd also be very content with Jameis Winston

I think he'll be the perfect backup because he knows the offense, Kyle has also blew a big lead w/him before, and he can actually win games for us as a full time starter if needed or if Baby Face just isn't ready..

so, I like Matty Ice FIRST and draft another QB in the later round to be the backup of the future..

2nd - Nick Foles (if Matty isn't there).. Foles will know his role here and will be a very good advisor for young Lance..

3rd - Mariota will also be good because he's still young and will want to prove that he's not a bust if ask to come and play when needed..

Matt Ryan's cap hit in 2022 is $48 million dollars. If you are going to armchair GM, look these things up when proposing moves.

WHY would I do that, it's not like the Falcons will actually trade him to us..

Makes you wonder why you even brought him up then, am I right

I think winston will be a starter next year.
Tyrod would be an excellent pick-up.

Next, Brissett.

Both are mobile enough and have reasonably good arms.

IMO - it'll boil down to $$$

Winston as a backup? What are you smoking? He ain't a backup.

He was signed to be a backup 2 years ago but go off
I'm in the camp that we are built to win now and should get a high end backup in case Lance is a disappointment. Mariota Bridgewater, Taylor ect. I like Dalton I'm just not sure if he has much left in the tank.

To a HALL OF FAME QB, yes. 25ish other starting QBs would have been Drew Brees' back up, too.

Last year he looked like a top 12 starter before his injury. MUCH better than Jimmy last year. No, I didn't stutter.

Well we need somebody. Really wanted Taylor but he's obviously gone now. Dalton or Brisett seem like the best options left.
I am losing track of them all. I'd take Mariota if he is still available
