Can compete and draft a guy.I was listening to Bill Polian (yes, I know he is a douche, but you can not dismiss his creds when it comes to being a GM) on Siruis yesterday and he made some great points about Stafford. He says that when you are considering a guy in FA you only look at the last two years, anything before that is ancient history. So he put Staffords numbers up against Ryan, and Kurt Cousins and Stafford had the worst year. He doesn't think anyone is going to give the Lions anything above a late second, third rd pick for Stafford. Polian says you need a QBR of over 100 to make the playoffs and all three (Stafford, Ryan, and Cousins) were in the 90s.
I agree with Polian, none of these guys are turning the Pats around, he says any of them would make a decent bridge QB if you have someone you are looking to draft to be your starting QB.
Niether Ryan nor Stafford are worth a first rounder at this point. Ryan's contract is bascially uncuttable and untradable for 2022 and he is 36.
Stafford is 32, coming off a back injury, he is signed through 2022, has a $33 million dollar cap charge for 2021 with a $10 million dollar roster bonus due on 3/17/2021 and again on 3/17/2022. The Lions are going to cut him, they might trade him if he agrees to restructure his contract. But the Lions save $14 in cap space and $20,000,000 in actual dollars if they cut him.
Once he is cut, then the Pats can look into him.
Cousins, Just had a breakfast of Finnish pancake, real maple syrup and sausage, orange juice and coffee, topped off with a couple of pistachio and cranberry cookies warmed. You are sleeping on a few others: Let's go through the list.Jimmy G 1
Mariotta 2
Unless there is a chance in hell of Getting Watson
However starting to not like Watsons attitude in this situation.
I honestly know knowing about his personality but what I’m seeing play out here.
Make him sound selfish and yes I Feel Elway and Eli and Corey Dillon handled it wrong.
Same with Moss.
I would dance for a Watson trade.
Fist pump for Jimmy G or Mariota
I would feel like we drafted Mahomes if we land Wilson or Lance.
Are you saying Matt Ryan to the 49ers? The cap numbers of moving Ryan out of Atlanta are unworkable - an eye watering $50 million in dead cap space.the market is going to be interesting.....Indy has to be heavily interested
if the 49ers look to ryan, garrapolo can be had....but his contract is ludicrous.....stafford is a better deal, better QB
there's just so many teams looking for a QB, and not much help at QB in the draft after the top pick

We can't turn up our nose at every single QB who might come here. Either we accept a flawed QB with plenty of useful assets, or we stand on our principles and wind up with another year of QB limbo. I know which I prefer.Barf no. Let Stafford go to Indy.
You have throw up left after watching Cam play this year?Barf no. Let Stafford go to Indy.
How would we know if they overpaid?I think the Colts will overpay and get him.
For real. I'll take any warm body with a functioning arm over what we were subjected to this year, let alone someone like Stafford.You have throw up left after watching Cam play this year?
