QB prospects in 2019

[gtown53]

Best case scenario right now would be to trade for nick Folles. Why trade up by surrendering multiple picks and players to attempt to develops Lock when nick Folles is already a proven stud in crunch time.

I’d rather trade two first for Folles while we still have a high pick in the second

I've been saying this about NICK FOLES, for weeks. And, considering that Philly can't keep Foles relative to their Cap, I think you can get the guy for less than a single #1. But everything has to fall into place. The Broncos can't take a $10 million dollar cap hit by cutting Keenum. They have to find a team who will take him in trade, reducing the hit to $3 million.

Serious question for you guys. Why Foles? Outside of winning a SB, I mean. Because Flacco won one, and he'll probably be available. Foles threw 10 touchdowns and 8 interceptions this year, and he averaged only 10.2 yards per completion. Why not just draft a quarterback, and keep Keenum?

Because moving up to get lock or Haskins would cost far more than it would for Folles!

Developing Lock or Haskins may not be successful! How many successful quarterback have the Denver Broncos developed in all their history? Other than Elway, they’ve developed nobody!

Folles is proven to be solid and he’ll be cheaper! Plus he performed well under pressure...

Sure, but so has Flacco. Unless Foles is a franchise guy, and nobody's figured it out yet, he's a stop gap just like all the other free agents. If we pay Foles, and he plays like Keenum did, Elway is cooked.

If Elway moves up to draft Haskins or luck and they don’t work out he still cooked Because at that point he will have moved up to get two first round QBs in under 10 years.

Flacco is regressing while Folles is still peaking. IMO Foles is the safe choice right now for the fact that he’ll still cost less to get than Haskins or Lock.

I’m not saying he’s the next big thing, not by any means but he’s the safest and cheapest!

Big difference between he and Flacco but Flacco isn’t m such a bad QB.
I don’t know the reason for his regression but I’d rather have flacco over Keenum outside of the salary cap differential.

Correct. If you draft a young guy, play him, he struggles but shows promise at the same time, the fan base will accept losing in the hope that things will get better, and you might have a franchise guy. The same thing cannot be said if Elway gives us another failed retread, and another year of Broncos football is wasted.

But Folles isn’t a failed retread, I’d see your point if keenum actually won something but he didn’t even win an NFC title before we signed him.

Folles is still the safest and cheapest.

I’m not looking to give up two first round picks and whatever player it would take to move up to draft lock, If Drew lock fell to number 10, then I’d be all for it but at this point I don’t see that happening.

I don't think Foles would be cheap. If Keenum can get 35 million over two years, Foles would get at least 20 million per year. If we release or trade Keenum and give Foles a prove it contract that wouldn't be terrible I suppose.

sorry However Nick Folles is just another Case.

Most likely. A trade for Foles or Flacco would be an unwise move financially and would likely produce a disappointing ROI. Even if they're free agent signings they'll sign for no less than 10% more than Keenum, and with Keenum hitting 21 million against our cap (10 million if cut) we would still likely have the most expensive QB room in the league. Again, financially unwise to cripple our cap with average at best QB play.

Go young, take your lumps and play him early and often, if he's still stinking by the end of his second or third year with no significant improvement grab Trevor Lawrence in 2021/2022

I would take Flacco, OR Foles over Keenum or a QB draftee. They are both Superbowl winning MVPs.

Why wouldn't I draft a QB? Because the QBs in this years Draft, from top to bottom, aren't worth the #10 Pick. And ALL college QBs are a crapshoot. And, after Drafting Lynch, Osweiler, Siemian, and Kelly, our FO has shown the inability to pick a QB.

If we sign a Foles or a Flacco, Keenum will cost too much to keep.

They're superbowl MVPs with great teams and head coaches. Flacco's not very good IMO and Foles is a system Qb.
We've had bad luck drafting QBs but two of the guys you mentioned are 7th round picks and were not supposed to save the franchise. We got a decent season out of one and he will be a decent backup (that's pretty good for the 7th round). Lots of people were high on Pax on top of that.
I'd rather take a guy with upside whi can develop into our future (Lock)

I would still take Foles or Flacco over another "Lynch" or "Osweiler", ................ or worse. AND Flacco and Foles are better than anything we have currently on our roster.

With that being said, I will be interested in seeing what happens at the Combine and Pro Days. Every year, fewer QBs show up at the Combine, and the Pro-days are kind of a joke when it's held where the various QBs feel most comfortable. So, we will hopefully have more to go on with prospective QB draftees.

Should be interesting.

I would also suggest to everyone that our Posts are completely and totally meaningless. What I believe, what I think, and who I would want for a QB is of ZERO interest to anyone in the Denver Broncos organization. So, I could Post my opinion of who I would hope the Broncos would trade for, draft, or sign, a MILLION TIMES, and it isn't going to change anything relative to who John Elway chooses to lead this team.

I meant cheapest to pick up in a trade
