    In case you didn't see it.

    Trubiskey looked excellent against Denver. Yes, it was against the 2nd string or worse but he was easily the most impressive QB the Bears played.

    Also heard a report that Terrell Pryor looks GREAT in Washington and is catching everything in sight. Move him up your rankings.

    Yeah but he was blitzed that entire 4th quarter and was dropping dimes on his WRs. He did very well.

    Question: Do you drop Tannehill at this point as a dynasty owner? I mean at best he's a QB2. Is QB2 upside worth wasting a roster spot?

    He'd be a QB somewhere, but as we can see with Kaep and other guys, that's not always the thing teams look for. Injury to the same knee multiple times, for a QB who's mobile....I dunno. What team needs a QB next yr? He'll end up either the Fins QB next yr or a backup. But I'm sure the Fins will be drafting a QB if Cutler doesn't work out so Tannehills job isn't even safe with the Fins.

    I'd say drop but someone will pick him up is my guess.

    Teams right now that don’t need a QB:

    GB, NE, Saints, SeaHawks, Ten, Indy, Atlanta, TBB, Carolina, Chargers, Dallas, Cincy, Detroit, Oakland, Philly, Minny, KCC, Chicago, Houston, Cleveland. So there’s 20 teams.

    Pitts, Jets, SF, Washington (and those two are tied together really), Denver (kinda), Rams, Baltimore (depend on Flacco health), Jax, Arizona, NYG, Buff (but they are rebuilding).

    And what team of those wouldn’t draft their QB of the future and go with Tannehill instead? Pitts, SF/Wash, Zona?, Rams, Jax?

    Not many options for Tannehill to be a QB outside of the Fins if he’s healthy enough for a team to even take the chance. But like the saying goes, it only takes 1 team.

    Ya, and if they get him Wash has a hole. I was tying the two together because it's 1QB between them.

    Supposed to be a strong QB class next year too. Of course, many of those players will likely take a little time, but think it means the market is likely to be fairly soft for QBs, except Cousins. I think he'll get paid. And I'd not count out PIT as the one stepping up there given Ben's wishy-washiness on how long he wants to play and the win-now mode that the Steelers have to be in. Unlike SF, I don't think PIT really has the option at this point to draft and wait on Ben's replacement...

    They may not be able to afford Kirk after they resign Bell to a big contract. Bell is at 12.12mill this season, Roesthlisberger is making 18.2mill, and Cousins is almost 24mill, and likely on a free market can get Carr money (25mill). So that’s a lot Pitts is going to invest in 3 players (QB, Bell, Brown). Would be a RIDICULOUS offense with him on it likely. The transition from franchise QB to the new QB would almost be seamless.

    Is this a fancy way of saying he has a broken heart, going from Philly and Wentz to Buffalo and Taylor???

    I would not move Pryor at all based on preseason practice reports, many of which are in shorts and t-shirts. His ADP is already WR14 which is pretty much his ceiling. It's really easy to look great in practice with no pads.

    It's actually the most NFL ready class since Luvk. Never forget in the draft process good QBs (Luck, RG3) get shit on the entire draft process and bad QBs (Wentz, Goff, Mahomes, Watson, etc) get their tires pumped. They top 4 QBs in the upcoming draft are better than any QB drafted in the last 2 years.

    They could not release him until he passed his physical or else they would have to pay him a bunch more than if they just waited until he was 'healthy'
