View Full Version : QBs at discount price
TheReverend
10-25-2005, 09:10 AM
Well looks like this off-season teams will have a shot at getting young, talented QBs at a discount price. Harrington, Boller, Carr and Rivers will probably all end up with new teams. You can consider that AZ, Chicago, Cleveland etc all need new blood behind the wheel, but many will look to the draft to solve these problems. So with the aforementioned talent pool... who do you want?

I don't like any of those QBs. BUT, If Shanny was picking from those guys, I would bet he'd take Boller (puke) because he's had the influence of jim fassel.
That being said I think Carr will the only one to have NFL success down the road.

IF, and I really do mean IF, Jake busts and simply cannot do it from the 5 step, I wonder what Garcia's health is. Yeah, he's a noodle arm and old, but some guy like him who'd maybe be ok for a start or two along with a younger retread like Carr.
Of the list, the only guy who wasn't a one year wonder in college is Carr. He makes bad decisions and some very bad throws, but he might be salvagable.
I still think that Jake is not that far away though. This thread may be like me, premature.
ps, Rivers not a one year wonder, but SD wouldn't send him in Div.

Yeah, no kidding. "Discount price" must be an extremely relative term. Carr would be nice, but I don't think he's going to be a backup, especially to Plummer.
Of the other two Boller probably has more to offer at this point, but I wouldn't see either as an upgrade over Jake in anything but age at this point.

Well the Chargers will eat a pretty large cap hit to move him so in order to do that they will want some good compensation. They aren't going to be cutting him or giving him away. He isn't going to be a bargain.
My pick for you guys is Boller...That way you will have a back up just as crappy as your starter. ;D

Teams wouldn't be paying his signing bonus if they traded for him, that's part of the appeal. And there's no way in Hell they'd trade him for a 'discount price' to somebody in their own division.

I voted David Carr, but I don't think he'll be available. I think whomever replaces Dom Capers places an emphasis on rebuiding the OL and sticking with a good young QB. As I've said before, I think the chances of us acquiring the Texans' top 5 pick are better than the chances of us acquiring David Carr. They'd likely rather have two first round picks to address the OL than one high priced player that only goes so far. Also consider that this draft projects to be pretty deep along the OL.

Not sure about Rivers. There are many that still think he has the tools to be a special player, but I haven't seen enough yet to know. That is a bigger risk and will require a big price tag (a #1). Not to mention, there is very little chance San Diego trades him to us.

Rivers won't even be an option because (for the 8,358,914th time) the Bolts will not trade him within the division and likely will want to send him to the NFC if at all possible.
Kyle Boller sucks out loud. Joey Harrington isn't much better. Carr looks like the best of the bunch. I think he'd do fine here with a solid running game and a decent O-line in front of him.

I don't see any similarity, other than the oft publicized "hitch" in his (Rivers) delivery.
This guy is 6-5 and a big boy, with a strong arm and Exceptional accuracy. He is a playmaker and winner. He is not a System-QB, he's good enough to define the system. Whoever gets him, if they are smart, they will build their system around his talents. He is going to be a very good pro, of course, depending on where he goes. In the end, I believe he will be the kind of guy that can TAKE OVER a football game.

I think there is a very good chance Carr will be available considering how horrid the Texans are and the likelyhood that they will have the first pick. IMO it's more likely to happen then not given how the Texans are playing and remembering that Leinart will either be the first or second pick beside his current teammate Bush.

As for Rivers, why doesn't anyone ever mention that the first game of the 2006 season will mark the first regular season contest that Rivers starts in like 30 months. Considering he's the main backup he doesn't even run the scout team. This to me seems like it should be an issue. I'm not saying that he will never be a great QB, but next season I bet he struggles. He will start for someone next season, but it won't be the Broncos. Someone will probably pay big for him considering how many teams need a QB. Cardinals, Texans, Lions, Dolphins, Jets, Ravens, Browns ans maybe Dallas.

It's a 6 year, $41 million dollar deal with $14.25 million in the form of bonus. So the final $27 million is spread over 6 years.

ESPN.com's John Clayton reports Denver Broncos DE Trevor Pryce has accepted a pay cut in the $2 million range to stay with the team. Pryce, who was on the trading block, was told his $9.16 million salary cap charge for 2005 was too high and he needed to be moved to another team. However, his patience in handling the situation and desire to stay with the team kept him with the Broncos.
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9677828/
Pryce and Denver agreed to a restructuring of the seven-year, $60 million contract he signed in 2001. It saved the Broncos about $3 million in salary-cap space.
Pryce said the pay cut didn't come as an insult to him. He had already received an $11 million signing bonus as part of the original deal.

Drew Henson 6'4" 230 pounds. Solid player but he wasn't one of Bill's boys so he had ZERO chance in big D. Had he went to the NFL right away he would have been a 1st or 2nd round pick. Then there is Ramsey, like Henson he wasn't hand picked by Gibbs so he didn't have a real shot. Those would be two that wouldn't mind seeing in Denver.

Boller doesn't impress me, but I haven't studied him.

Get Carr in Denver and we would tear **** up and people would be proclaiming Carr as the next Golden Child. Is mobile, is tough (record setting sacks and ****), has a good arm and is pretty accurate from the pocket and out of the pocket (not as good as jake out of the pocket, but serviceable).
Harrington, no. Boller? No. Maybe Rivers, but there is no telling if he would do well anywhere, much less in Denver.

If David Carr ever became your starting QB it would be the Brian Griese Experiment Part Deux

other QB's who may be available are: Ramsey, C Pennington, McCowen, K Warner, T Rattay, M McMahon, Feeley, Fiedler, Kitna, Simms, K Dorsey. Add Boller and Harrington and i would say one of these guys ends up in camp with the Broncs next season.

Could be. I bet that list strikes fear in the hearts of Bob and the other squaw fans.
And the list of legitimate senior QBs in the 2006 draft is: Leinart.
Get used to it guys - Jake is the man for at least two more years.

Carr has the mobility to run this offense. A year under Jake will do him some good,IMO. Maybe Harrington, although he looks soft to me.

We need to get some serious O-Line, so we have serious Strength, Power and Size upfront. That way we can change "This Offense". While still having a strong power running game, we can win the battles upfront, and not have to rely on an overly athletic, less skilled QB. We can actually go out and get a skilled passer to play the position.

I picked Carr because no way the Chuggars will trade River to us. I hope it was Chef fan that voted for Boller. I can't believe any Bronco fan would be that stupid.

Oooh, oooh, Boller can throw the ball 65 yards on his knees according to some pre-draft hype. That, and $.69 will get you a cup of coffee...

What the heck ever happened to Harrington, anyway? He looked great when he came out of the PAC 10.
It may turn out BVP ia Elway without the chrome.
BVP is Elway without the chrome, the arm, the leadership, and the ability to read defenses. Hell, if it were pitch black out you couldn't tell them apart.
I hope for your sake that you are not being serious. A person that out of touch with reality is clinically intoxicated.

Ive noticed since "Pat Bowlen" left this has turned into a good thread.
Things to discuss... are these QBs "mediocre" talent, or it has it been a mediocre gameplan and being surrounded by mediocre players that have caused their downfall? Please answer this question QB by QB

To use your words, "I think you should double check that." You left this thread when I did, right after you got called out for being clueless.
It's hilarious at how little you knew about the unlikely situation you created a thread to discuss, yet still strutted around as arrogant as always. I almost felt embarrassed for you.

The key to good discussion is either knowing what you're talking about or showing a desire to learn. You've displayed neither of these things in this thread.

If they succeed in getting their hands on Leinart, I think could Carr could be had for a 3rd.If the Texans get their hands on Leinart they'll be the worst team in football for at least 5 more years.
Although I think whoever gets their hands on Leinart will be pretty bad while he's on the roster.

Unathletic, immobile, average arm, not a genius. Plays for a team that should win by 30 every time out. Leinart will be exposed in the Rose Bowl. That's if his performance against ND didn't show you enough.

HIs performance at Notre Dame only showed me what a winner he is. Even when he's not having his best game, he guts it out and finds a way to win. Hell, they'd have lost the game if he didn't fumble the ball out of bounds. Think about that... Even his screw-ups turn into gold. The dude is charmed.

I voted David Carr, but I don't think he'll be available. I think whomever replaces Dom Capers places an emphasis on rebuiding the OL and sticking with a good young QB. As I've said before, I think the chances of us acquiring the Texans' top 5 pick are better than the chances of us acquiring David Carr. They'd likely rather have two first round picks to address the OL than one high priced player that only goes so far. Also consider that this draft projects to be pretty deep along the OL.
Interesting...
