Thread: Who Wants Paxton?

There was the article about Arizona possibly wanting Lynch......which made me think about John Lynch. Why? Because John Lynch loves Paxton Lynch and I wonder if he would entertain a trade for him if he doesnt like the QBs in the draft more than Paxton.......Hmmm.


Would or should John even consider it? I liked what I saw from Lynch last year considering he came from a non-pro offense and barely got to play. He had issues making the playcalls initially...to be expected.....but he came in a showed alot of potential. He also showed some rookie mistakes....all good. Thing is, the jury is out on whether hes the man. I dont see that we can tell anything from the small sample that would convince us either way which makes me think Elway could be in the same position.

Siemian has shown well for himself and I liked how he played. Paxton has the gun and the super high ceiling, but if someone offers a high pick for Paxton......do we take it?

If Paxton ends up being a stud.......oh my.

If Pax ends up being a dud........oh yeah.

The general feel of what Ive heard seems to be that Siemian will probably win the job again this offseason.

If thats the case, do you swap with the 9ers if they offer the second pick?
The Browns at 12 if Foster is there or Howard?

It sure would be interesting to find out what John would do in that scenario.

Potential takers:

9ers
Chicago
Browns
Jets
Buffalo
Arizona
Texans
Kansas City


So the question is......under what offer do you trade Paxton......or do you keep him?

In this draft, if I even got an offer, I would make it a first and second to pry him away, because if theyre that desperate .....theyre that desperate.

Paxton could be the man.
But so could Siemian.

No one wants Lynch.

Mensa does.

I don't think he's tradeable. And if he is the return on investment for the Broncos would be super low.

I would trade you for cswil and a #2 pencil.

Cswil would probably tell you the same thing and then you'd need a shirt that said "all I got was this damn pencil."

Keep him for season 2017. If Siemian is a darn good QB... then trade Lynch after this season.

You never know. This draft is deep in so many areas yet so shallow with QBs. I think Mahomes goes in the first along with Trubisky, Watson too but I dont think anyone particularly wants to do that.

Lynch, especially with a year under his belt has more than any of these guys imo. So why not trade for him?

It would seem plausible if you need a gunslinger and have no desire to ride the season with Hoyer or some other scrub vet for your QB. That screams LOSER to your whole team.

San Francisco isn't in a position to give up potential assets for anyone right now. They need all the talent they can get and rolling with what they have at quarterback is the most plausible scenario. They need talent everywhere.

What do they take.....a corner? Safety? I bet theyre desperate to trade down. Unless you have a huge difference maker, that second pick is a waste. I think the safety from LSU is theyre pick unless they find a willing partner.

If youre going to risk it......Id risk it on Paxton and put him in Shanahans hands vs any other pick.

You'd risk it on Lynch because you want your team to get rid of Lynch. It's not going to happen.

Why did we need a separate thread for this?

I just don't think anyone would trade a first for him.

First round QB's SHOULD typically start from day one. Not only could Lynch not beat out a 7th rounder from the previous year...but he may lose the job to that same guy in year 2. No chance in hell I give up #2 overall for that guy. If I'm desperate to deal that pick, there are likely better values to be had.
