Warfish Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 No. Cost too high, risk too high, output too low. I believe in drafting QB's, not signing the various Scott Mitchell's of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMan77 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Depends on the cost, right? Maybe a 2 year prove in contract? Sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbatesman Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I loved him coming out of Louisville, but he hasn't been very good. I don't know that he's physically capable of playing at a high level at the Meadowlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjunc Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 McCown is old, we are going to need a vet and acquiring someone like him wouldn't stop us from drafting someone. think Seattle when they got Flynn, did it stop them from drafting Wilson? or Chicago this year w/ Glennon and Trubisky. w/ that injury compensation wouldn't be too high and he was on his way to becoming a good NFL QB.

whodeawhodat Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I think he is plenty good. Word out of minnesota was their team was a contender until he went down. Def a pick up worth starter $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Harper Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Even at this best, he cannot close the deal. Never thrown for more than 14 TDs. That is not exciting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDL_JET Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 For cheap, sure. Which I think he would be because he's proven nothing and coming off a major injury. Would probably be a bargain. But Vikings are keeping him for that exact reason, Bradford will be let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not exciting to me. he only played 2 years in the league and both seasons were outdoors in Minnesota- not exactly a great place to throw in Nov/Dec. he was a developing QB, he improved from year 1 to year 2 and helped Minnesota make the playoffs. he was far from a finished product.

rex-n-effect Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 He has potential to develop but the injury presents a real risk. It might haunt him through his career. I don't think he's worth what he would likely demand on the basis of the potential and that is especially true with the injury. He plays well for several years without problem and then he hits FA then sure, he would be a worthwhile pick up to play for several years at the position while we continue to root around drafts to his replacement. Now, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog45 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 If we sign a guy who lost his job to Sam ****in Bradford I'm done . It would be the SAME OL JETS move , I mean we have a 2-22 record qb at the helm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because they're not exhausting their options with Petty and Hack. If neither can be the guy, maybe one of them could be the bridge. But we don't know.

Bridgewater to me is a guy who if we do take a QB outside of the top 2 would be a good signing to come in and compete with said rookie and at worst becomes a good veteran backup. Give me Luke Falk in the draft, with our next 2 picks to bolster the team around him (preferably an O-lineman and then any offensive position or OLB) with a short term contract for bridgewater and I think that really improves this offense and gives us some depth at the position.

Bleedin Green Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Happy with signing Bridgewater as a set starting QB? No. Okay with signing Bridgewater, in addition to still drafting a QB in exactly the same manner as if he hadn't been signed? Sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could argue it encouraged them to draft Wilson. Led to them staying away from a QB in the middle of round 1 (Weeden), or trading a bunch of picks to move up to #7 for Tannehill, or forcing the issue a round earlier for Osweiller. Likewise, despite that one game, Flynn wasn't nearly enough of a sure thing to wait until rounds 5-7 for his competition. Just how it works out sometimes.

He's out of a job You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Bridgewater was injured before Bradford even got to the team and still hasn't been medically cleared, so the idea of having "lost" anything is a pure fabrication. By your logic, has Bradford lost his job to Case Keenum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
