  1. I like Cousins, but there's no way he's leaving Washington. If they can't get a deal done they'll franchise him. Best you can do in FA this year is Bradford or Osweiler, and there's no certainty either one will hit the market.
  2. In the top 10, possibly the 49ers depending on who they hire and whether the guy wants Kaepernick or not. No way the Cowboys trade up for a QB. Outside the top 10 there's the Bears, Saints, Eagles and Rams at 11,12,13 and 15 who could be in the market for a QB. You'd pretty much have to trade back but stay in the top 10 and hope one of the two between Dallas and San Francisco doesn't draft a QB. If you want to choose your QB, then you can't go further than #3. Give the Chargers a call to trade back and they'll know you're taking a QB, so they'll stay put at 3. So my take is that you either draft your guy at #2 or trade back if you can to get a bunch of picks and take BPA, hoping Carson Wentz or Connor Cook are still on the board at 32.
  3. True, but the decision of drafting a QB will be made well in advance, so there will be plenty of time to make a trade prior to the draft.
  4. Haha I'll try to clear it up. Based on what he's done thus far and the current QB situation, I don't see why he shouldn't be given a change to compete for the starting job in training camp/preseason. At the same time, we don't know what the team will do with Farmer and Pettine, so the situation might change completely between now and training camp. If you draft a QB in the first round then you've made it clear that Johnny has no future in Cleveland. You're going to hold on to McCown so he can mentor the new QB, so why keep Johnny when he will be the QB3? Might as well trade him away and draft someone late that you can groom into the backup. If he continues to have off the field issues in the offseason than you cut bait straight away. If neither of those happens and you stick with the QBs currently on the roster, then you give all three players a chance to compete for the starting job. Johnny wins, you start him. Johnny loses out, keep him as the back up. That's my line of thinking...
  5. He's got two more years under contract at roughly 2.5M cap hit with practically all of it guaranteed, so you only cut bait with him if he continues to be a headache off the field. What kind of return can you expect if you trade him away? There is so much uncertainty at the moment it's almost pointless to discuss it. What does ownership do with Farmer/Pettine? Would a new coach be willing to work with Johnny or would he rather draft a new QB? If you decide to draft a guy like Paxton Lynch in the first round you've made it clear that Johnny is done. Might as well play McCown in 2016 and then start Lynch once he's ready.
  6. Alex Smith threw for 125 yards in the game, although his completion percentage was much better. The Chiefs also have a pretty darn good defense and the weather was crap. There is still plenty of work for Johnny to do, as Gannon repeatedly mentioned during the broadcast. I don't see why he shouldn't be given a chance to compete for the starting job in training camp/preseason.
  7. Hopefully Gordon will provide a bail-out this week in situations where Manziel can't find an open receiver. Other than Kirkpatrick, who's a special teams player more than anything, no Bengals cornerback is taller than 5'11". That gives Gordon a 4" advantage on jump balls.
