Are you here making racist comments because your team has nothing to play for. You don't have to answer but you can take your ugly comments elsewhere racist.
If I had the choice to win ball games, Dalton over Allen, no brainer. Not that Dalton has a higher ceiling or anything but its not long term and RIGHT NOW, Dalton is a better QB fundamentally than Allen in my humble opinion. For one season I could live with a competition of Dalton/Allen/Montez/Hieneke.
Either way, that looks like a qb room full of guys who "get it" and what it takes to play qb in this league unlike the fella who was just shown the door.
Agreed. Need to keep him
You don't need a "franchise QB" to win it all. I'm sticking with that because as has happened all too often, teams call winning SB QB'S "franchise" even when they aren't that. I'll bet that few here or anywhere will agree on what that term entails. In current times, Nick Foles, Kirk Cousins and some others have been viewed as "franchise" guys, but no matter how much money they are paid, it simply doesn't make them so. Build that O-line, give me a stout defense, and watch the wreckage left in the wake of such a team. I'm going to continue to say it over and over, build that team first and they win with competent guys. To be fair, Kirk was bound to fail here because he was merely competent on a ever evolving barely competent team. (See: Minnesota)
Hell, if this is the group of possible candidates, trade for Kirk Cousins, Minnesota would gladly jump at trade offers for that guy. I would love for Cousins to return here, hell, I'd volunteer to build the effigy.
Hell no Kirk Cousins sucks
I purposely named them just to keep their names, specifically Cousins name alive around these parts. It's counter to a particular poster who still when listed among such illustrious names like, Tony Banks, Rex Grossman, RGIII, Tim Hasselbeck, Jason Campbell, and Colt McCoy, insists that Cousins is the best the we've had in a long time as if that had some significance, comparatively speaking. Our mysterious poster loves the guy, so I'm begging you, please, please, please, don't tell him that Kirk sucks!
That's interesting, Minnesota has him, a fierce ground game and better overall receivers, and their current record is 6-9. I suppose that one can refer to our defense when making such a claim, but alas, with this defense our record is surprisingly also 6-9. Offensive stats show a difference but then we'd have to make subtractions from those stats contributed by their RB' vs ours, their receivers vs ours and such. To me with him, I believe that our record would be close to 7-8, 6-9, or 5-10.
Not sure about the O-line, that unit has blasted holes for their running game all year and has provided adequate protection for Kirk. He's the problem there and has been called out for it several times this year. If dude was making a few million dollars that would be different. For the money that he makes, they should be 11-5, 12-4 and serious contenders in the upcoming playoffs, not eliminated from them.
