Thoughts on these QBs!!!

I was looking around on here and found a couple of interesting names!!! Brian Hoyer and Brady Quinn both backups whose contracts are up!! I like Brian Hoyer about as much as I do Matt Flynn. Hoyer is the backup for New England. Brady Quinn I thought was interesting because it appeared as if Denver was wanting to give him a shot.

Whats your thoughts guys????

Well we have a pretty good idea what Flynn can do, Brian doesn't have much of a body of work but Bilicheck seems to see something to keep him as #2. Quinn has been analyzed and found wanting. I'd rather stick with TJ than Quinn.

Forget Brady Quinn.  Sorry Dr but if Hoyer is available maybe take a look. I do not want quinn nor Orton nor any retread. The Hawks need to try to find a guy who makes sense and matcheds up to what PC wants .  TJ sort of did but to me he made mistakes in close games that cost 3-4 wins easy.  That is why we have this talk about possible QB's

Of the bunch, I would either go Flynn or draft. Not too high on any of the others, and figure we could allow TJ another year if nothing else is on the table. If Peyton Manning is available and healthy then obviously I am all about that signing, but I don't see it happening. We are getting good, and just about to be a team that's a QB away. When there are other holes it's easier to look past the glaring QB need, but those holes are closing fast. Really like what JS & PC have done with our team.

DR,

HERE IS A LINK i FOUND INTERESTING. iT THROWS OUT OTHER POSSIBILITIES.

Here is a few more names we might want to look at:

Vince Young
Rex Grossman
Graham Harrell(The Bills were trying to sign him and GB was moving him around on their roster last I heard)
Shaun Hill
Drew Staton
Sage Rosenfels
Chris Redman
Jimmy Clausen
Matt Leinart
Kyle Boller

We will get some new form of a QB this season I can see no reason to keep Charlie Whitehurst. The reason I list these guys is I'm wondering if some of these QBs were just bad fits for the teams they were playing on. Any thoughts on these guys??? 

Honestly Dr the only ones I could see them looking at would be either Clausen or Leinart and I think they tried to sign Lienart last year and he did not want to come to seattle unless he was going to be the starter period. The others on the list are guys that are perennial backups or like someone the hawks already have. VY is a TJ type QB so there is no point. I do not want grossman, hill rosenfels or Redman.  Boller would depend on where he is at mobility wise before sinking money into him. 

Unless we get Matt Flynn, I don't think anyone we sign or draft will be ahead of TJ next year.  I would kind of like to see them sign a solid backup, as opposed to having a guy like Whitehurst, and then draft a guy in the 3rd/4th round to compete with Josh Portis to be the developmental guy. I still really like Brandon Weeden and it seemed a month ago that he would be possible to get in the 3rd round due to his age but I am hearing now that he will almost assuredly be a 2nd rounder and possibly a 1st rounder.  Perhaps a guy like Nick Foles or Kellen Moore could fit the mold.  I am not a big Foles fan but Moore could have the intangibles to be effective. My worry with him is his size at the NFL level.

That makes sense. Clausen is a young kid that -could- be the answer at QB with the proper coaching. He was seen as a pro-ready prospect and if I remember correctly, he only slipped into the 2nd round because of character concerns. Were they bad enough to look away from him? I don't know, this team has already given chances to guys seen as character concerns and gotten positive production out of them. If his concerns are seen as manageable, he could be a good get, provided the Panthers were willing to part with him.

As for Leinart? We tried that to get him last offseason and he wouldn't bite. He was more willing to backup Shaub than to come here and compete. I'm not sure things would change much if we went after him this offseason.

Unless we get Matt Flynn, I don't think anyone we sign or draft will be ahead of TJ next year.

I'm not even sure Matt Flynn would be seen as an automatic starter over TJack if we got him. He would be coming onto the team with a significant disadvantage in terms of his knowledge of our system, and Pete seems to value that out of his QBs. I think however we address the QB position, it's going to, at best, be a competition that TJack has a hudge advantage in.

I'm starting to think that we're going to end up with one of three QBs: Ryan Tannehill, Brock Osweiler or Kirk Cousins. I think they'll sit and learn the offense while TJack gets a 2nd year to show what he has. It's not the popular plan, but I think it makes sense for where the draft currently is. I could be wrong on the guy, and we could still try going into free agency... Jason Campbell will probably be available, and he's probably a better version of TJack. But I think the draft is our mostly likely scenario.

I agree with this assesment, In particular the Jason Campbell scenario. I have noticed lately alot of the mocks have us taking Brock Osweiler in the second round. But if we do take him it will be as a project, and to me its kind of hard to use a second round pick for a project. And if we were to get Tannehill he won't be ready to start right away anyway.    

Pretty much what I am saying. They can sign Flynn and let him compete for the starting job or sign a veteran to "compete" but most likely end up as a backup.  I could see many guys that could fit the bill of a quality backup.  In either scenario I would think they would spend a pick on a young QB as well to compete with Josh Portis, unless they are really sold on Portis, which I doubt.  I don't think Tannehill will be in the discussion as I expect him to be drafted in the 1st round, not by us, so anyone projected in rounds 2-4 could be in play.  I think Osweiller could end up being a solid pro QB and Cousins has some leadership skills. I wouldn't look at Cousins until the 4th round myself but I could see a guy like Moore or Foles being looked at in the 3rd round.  I don't see Osweiller making it out of the 2nd round.

Only the top two qbs in the draft have any chance of starting from day 1 for the Seahawks. And unless something dramatic happens we dont have a chance at either.

Only a limited number of free agent qbs would do the same. The names on that list are no upgrade over TJ.

It is not that TJ is so good just expereinced in the system. Still he did give us 3000 yards passing this year and if we were running Lynch from day 1 we may have made the playoffs. My big problem with TJ is that we need more td passes. I would like a qb that will give us more than 14 td passes for the year.

RG3 will be way overdrafted and is not ready to start in the NFL.  He is not Cam Newton and IMO shouldn't even be a Top 10 pick.  He will be obviously drafted Top 5 but he is way overrated.
