    No way we'd take on his current contract. I think it's more likely he just gets cut. But also possible Carolina would absorb some of it to move him.

    Carolina would definitely absorb some...but NO team...including Denver is going to do the trade at all unless he agrees to a pay cut. Now, he can sit around and just wait to be cut, but then he's taking leftovers instead of controlling the dollars he can make.

    Bridgewater is another name I'm fine with as a warm body in the QB room. Him and Minshew. Really any tier 2 like him or Minshew is a warm body that doesn't move the needle. It comes down to Lock's performance this year. Minshew or Bridgy could be lightning in a bottle for a hot moment if the D is stiff and they just need a solid captain at the tiller.

    Personally, I need to see 25+ TDs and >2:1 TD/int in 16 games to think he's a project worth continuing. If he's 30+ and 2:1, he should def get a contract. Then in a perfect world, he massively outperforms that 2d contract and we have first-world problems.

    I've been a Lock believer this whole time, but I have to admit, if money was at stake, this moment I might bet against his long-term chances as starter. I'm not sure why this change--maybe it was Lindsay calling him a slacker.

I think Lock will get his chance for the year and his backup will be a 3-5th rd. pick who probably beat out Case Rypien in training camp for number 2 duties. Someone like Mond or Newman for example. If we miss out on a upgrade for Case Rypien that's where I can see us looking back into the cheap vet FA pool. I Don't like Minshew but its hard to argue he isn't a upgrade over Case Rypien as a back up.
    I could argue all day long that Rypien is a better prospect than Garbage Minshew ... well!

    If it turned out Watson was the victim of the biggest prank in history...then yeah, he's not a draft pick and not Lock but is a QB I would want.

    Maybe. Chopin's arm length wasn't much to write home about.

    I don't ever want to see you get pissy at someone for criticizing Lock ever again. And I mean ever. Because if you believed in him whatsoever, you wouldn't be having such a weeks long hissy fit over a potential BACKUP quarterback for him. You obviously don't believe in Lock either if you're so concerned that "Garbage Minshew" would beat him out.

    If it costs too much to trade up for the 4th or 5th best QB in the draft (it will) and we want solid competition for Lock and/or someone that can come in and manage a game if he gets hurt (again), then I would want a veteran on the sideline that is capable of at least average play. That way it would be a seamless transition from the average play we've been getting so far.
