OK, can you clearly outline what is a "franchise QB" vs "QB who get paid like franchise QBs but aren't Franchise QBs" and thus fit your paradox Red Leader, standing by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Mostro Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Whether a team has a top-notch franchise QB or not, the value of a competent back-up is front and center this season. And by competent back-up, I do not mean a future franchise player in waiting -- just an experienced guy who can come in and be good enough to get the job done, warts and all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is paying for some outdated, vague label. You pay Cousins because passing is *extremely* valuable and he’s shown an ability to pass like the fancier, shinier names do, not because of some dumb label no one in the history of history has ever clearly defined. Again THO - do appreciate the brief acknowledgement of Cousins’ skills, even if that was not your intention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnitedWhofans Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Here's my playoff takeaway: In general, NFL coaching is awful. It explains why Belichick and crew win so much (apart from the cheating) and why people outside the Jets area don't think Bowles is that bad. The Patriots don't make the mistakes that Reid, Payton, Marrone, Tomlin and others make. Thusly they have an edge. I have seen so many bad playcalls, time management decisions, and general decisions in these playoffs to last me a whiel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I see anyone doing is noting his performance as a starter has put him among the best passers in the league. The only people I see really married to labels like game changer or franchise QB are people who need the conversation to be steered away from his performance as a passer and into the mystical.

varjet Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 3 hours ago, New York Mick said: I don’t think they need to trade up. I’d rather stay put or trade back but a lot of posters think you need to get a QB with the first or second pick in order to make it to the championship games. Look at what QBs are left. Only one was draft high (Bortles 3rd over all) the rest are late 2nd, 3rd, 6th OT undrafted. I’d rather have a balanced team. Of the four teams remaining, none of them are paying top, top dollar for their QB. Bortles is at 19, Brady at 20. Wentz is on a rookie contract, and Keenum who knows. Thus, these teams have the resources to build the rest of their team. 3 hours ago, TuscanyTile2 said: "40 year old Brady" is the favorite to win NFL MVP. Wentz took the Eagles to where they are but you're giving Foles credit for his accomplishments? That list is supposed to show you that FQBs have won a bunch of SBs the past 15 years and there's no absolutely zero evidence to suggest that things are changing. The reigning SB champ is Brady and he's the favorite to win it again. The NFC's #1 seed was also led by a young FQB in Wentz. Now that Foles is there, the Eagles will likely be the underdog again next week. Meanwhile with Aaron Rodgers, the Packers are a legit SB contender. Without him, they struggle to be a .500 team. I see absolutely no merit to your argument. The Packers can pay Rodgers because the Packers are excellent drafters. This is where the Jets come off the rails.

If your QB is a medium level or worse guy you are not making the playoffs 8 out of 10 years. Yup you need a 6th round pick that was passed over at least 5x by each team in the league and then have a solid offense, defense and the best coach in the history of the game, add a dash of cheating and you have a winning combo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'd rather have Cousins for the next 8-9 years since we can accomplish what I listed above and still afford him. We know what we need to do to get to the super bowl, we just need to beat the Patriots and for that we need a rock solid defense as well. Of course that defense doesn't appear to exist in the NFL and even if we have all those components we need a coaching staff with a great plan and that can make proper game time adjustments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with all the money we have finances shouldn't be concern with Cousins. So despite Bridgewater's injury risk you still prefer him over Cousins. Interesting.

Accurately estimate what you would spend on the free agents. Some folks here have done that analysis and came to the conclusion (which I support) that we can afford Bridgewater, or Cousins and in that analysis most folks would choose Cousins.

Snell41 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 What an incredible crock of sh*t! First of all, Foles didn’t get PHI there, their FRANCHISE QB, Wentz did. Bortles may not be great, but he’s a first round franchise QB. Case Keenum is playing out of his mind at the moment, and Brady is Brady. TEN-Mariota. StL-Goff. PIT-Roethlisberger. ATL-Ryan. NO-Brees. CAR-Newton. KC-Smith. Christ every team but MIN and BUF got the the playoffs with a franchise QB. Yeah, let’s draft more defense dumbasses.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
