2017 Off-Season QB Landing Spots

Hi, with the off-season just beginning and a great QB market this off-season, I will be discussing the teams that need could be suitors to draft, trade, or sign a QB this off-season that could make an impact. Some quick news that the Jags trade tight end Julius Thomas for Dolphins O lineman Branden Albert. Here it is:

Cleveland Browns:
The Browns need a QB and they have great chances at getting a good one. Holding the first overall pick in the draft and the 12th overall pick, 2 top 15 picks they can use one on a QB or not or trade one of them for a QB. The Browns have tried so many QBs this year, here is the long list: Robert Griffin III, Josh McCown, Cody Kessler, Kevin Hogan, Charlie Whitehurst, even QB turned wide receiver Terrelle Pryor took snaps. This team needs a good QB fast and it will happen this off-season. Likely pickup: Jimmy Garapollo, Patriots


San Fransisco 49ers:
Everyone knows the Niners biggest need is QB and with the 2nd pick in the draft they are the likely first team to select a QB which rules out a free agent or trade. However if they don't go QB in the draft they might try and get a QB off the big market. New coach Kyle Shannahan is great with developing young QBs so this team can be in good hands if they get someone good this off-season. Likely pickup: Mitch Trubisky, College/Draft

Chicago Bears:
The Bears have needed a QB for the longest time and we know the Jay Culter era is over. News that they have been trying to shop him all of January was spread and if he gets no takers he will likely be cut. The Bears hold the 3rd overall pick in the draft where they could probably get someone like DeShaun Watson who I think will be the next big QB in the NFL. The Bears will strike for a QB this off-season. Likely pickup: DeShaun Watson, College/Draft

New York Jets:
If all the QBs are picked before the Jets 6th overall pick, they could be screwed considering they might not be able to get a QB off the free agent market. It is likely though that the Jets could even be the first team to take a QB in the draft if the top teams don't before them. I'm thinking the Jets will draft someone but if they don't expect someone like Jay Cutler to be under center for the Jets next season. Likely pickup: DeShone Kizer, College/Draft

Denver Broncos:
The Broncos do have 2 QBs that could be starters in Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch, but neither are completely ready to start yet and with a late first round pick, the Broncos won't likely be able to draft anyone leaving them with someone from free agency. Tony Romo would be a great fit on the team where he could play his last years and the young QBs could learn from him and be ready to start when his time is done in Denver. Likely pickup: Tony Romo, Cowboys

Houston Texans:
Houston we have a problem. The Texans overpaid trash QB Brock Osweiler who turned out to be a bust and the Texans are now BACK on the market for a new QB. The draft won't be much help since they have a late pick in the first round but free agency could be what they need. If they can land an under the radar QB like Brian Hoyer, Mike Glennon, or Sam Bradford maybe it could be the turning point they need. Likely pickup: TO HARD TO SAY

Arizona Cardinals:
The Cards don't need a QB immediatly but this is likely Carson Palmer's last season and the team will want to start looking for the future. They have an early-ish pick in the first round and may be lucky enough to land someone good for the future. I don't know if the team will address QB this off-season but it is a major possibility. Likely pickup: TO HARD TO SAY

Buffalo Bills:
I think that the Bills don't need to get rid of Tyrod Taylor because he is actually pretty good but the team thinks so and so I will list them as a taker. If the Bills are lucky enough for a good QB to fall into their lap by pick 10 they will be happy but they could be stuck drafting lower class QB Pat MaHomes at 10. Who knows what the Bills will do for QB this off-season... Likely pickup: Pat Mahomes, College/Draft

THE NFL SEASON HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED

Hi, sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I was away. But the first game of the season was last night and it was this past seasons Super Bowl, rematch!!!! Here is what happened.

Panthers @ Broncos        My Predicted Winner: Broncos     Final Score: Broncos 21, Panthers 20

As you can see this was a VERY CLOSE GAME! It came down to the last few seconds but I will tell you about that later. First lets just say Broncos new starting QB Trevor Siemian played VERY WELL. Siemian threw the ball very well and had a great game. Everyone was happy with his play. Broncos RB C.J. Anderson was the best player of last night. He scored 25 fantasy points in most leagues with 2 touchdowns and lots of carries for many yards. The start of the game had the Panthers scoring on a throw to WR Kelvin Benjamin, Cam Newton looked great. Then the Broncos fullback ran in for a great touchdown to tie the game at 7-7. Then after a long drive, Cam Newton rushed himself into the endzone. 14-7 Panthers. Right before half, Panthers kicker Graham Gano hit a nice field goal to put the score 17-7 Panthers. After half the Broncos made their comeback. Trevor Siemian turned on a completed a bunch of passes, C.J. Anderson scored a TD and the Broncos D started sacking Cam Newton like the Super Bowl. 17-14, still Panthers. Then C.J. ran in for another touchdown to put the Broncos on top at 21-17. After that the Panthers put in a drive that resulted in a field goal, making it a 1 point game. The Broncos turned the ball over and the Panthers got it back with hopes of winning. As the Panthers inched down the field, time ran out. At the Broncos 47 with 9 seconds left, the Panthers brought out kicker Graham Gano to try to make the game winning field goal. BOOM! The ball went way off to the side and had no chance of going in. The Broncos celebrated while the Panthers went 0-1. Their chances of going undefeated already down the drain. What a game! Trevor Siemian and C.J. Anderson played VERY WELL!

OTHER NEWS:
Seahawks RB Christine Michael to take the start against the Dolphins this weekend over Thomas Rawls who has injury risk. Jimmy Graham also to play.
Vikings are starting backup QB Shaun Hill over Sam Bradford week 1 so Bradford has another week to learn all of the teams ways.
Rob Gronkowski not expected to play week 1 v Cardinals

My fantasy week 1 starts and sits will be up soon! NFL IS BACK!!!!!!!

BREAKING: Teddy Bridgewater Tears ACL, Joey Bosa Signs Deal, Broncos Name Trevor Siemian Starting QB

Hi, in the last 2 days a lot of BIG news has happened. Here it all is:

Teddy Bridgewater: Today in practice apparently QB Teddy Bridgewater suffered a non contact knee injury which later turned out to be an ACL tear. This means Bridgewater should probably be out for the season. This is terrible for the Vikings, Teddy was wobbly his first 2 seasons in Minnesota and was starting to get the hang of things when he tore his ACL. This will set him back. The Vikings even used their first round pick on wide receiver Laquon Treadwell who was supposed to help Bridgewater develop. The Vikings still have a dominate defense and Adrian Peterson but their backup QB's are messes. I'm wondering how they will do this year. The Vikings do have options though, Mark Sanchez didn't get the starting role in Denver so he may be open, Colin Kaepernick isn't happy with the 49ers and might not start, Josh McCown isn't starting and the Browns might want to get rid of him.

Joey Bosa: No. 3 overall pick in this years NFL Draft, DE Joey Bosa finally signed his contract. He and the Chargers facility had been in a contract battle and Bosa turned down great offers and things weren't looking good for him playing this season when he finally signed his deal. Bosa will really help a crappy D-line and he has such a high chance of being great. The Chargers lucked out on drafting him. This will be a great deal and the Chargers probably won't regret it.

Trevor Siemian: The Broncos have finally named their starting QB. Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian, and rookie Paxton Lynch were all fighting for the job. Lynch was the favorite to start later on in the year and Mark Sanchez was the favorite to be the week 1 starter. Things didn't go as planned. Trevor Siemian played well in pre-season week 1, but so did Sanchez. Week 2, Sanchez and Siemian both weren't great, and week 3, Sanchez was decent but Siemian was great. He looked super comfortable in the offense and since he was the only QB who had been on the roster for more than a year, the Broncos felt more comfortable about starting him. I totally agree with the Broncos and now the questions are, Will Mark Sanchez retire, backup Siemian, or go to another team? And...When will Paxton Lynch step in at starter. Multiple teams may want to trade for Sanchez such as the quarterbackless Vikings or maybe the Cowboys who are looking for a veteran QB. What happens to Sanchez will be a mystery.

Thanks for reading, another weird thing that happened is the Eagles cut WR Rueben Randle who they seemed to like earlier in the pre-season.

Picking a Winner out of Positional Battles

Hi, since their are still some battles going on for the starting job for teams, I am picking some winners. Here it is:

Broncos Starting QB: Paxton Lynch Vs. Trevor Siemian Vs. Mark Sanchez:
I think the Broncos are going to name Trevor Siemian as the starter. Out of the 3 of them, he is the only one to have been on the Broncos last year which means he has more experience with the team and its playing style. Siemian has looked decent in the pre-season and also from being on the team last year, he has trained a lot with Peyton Manning, one of the best QB's in NFL history. I would say Paxton Lynch has played the best and deserves the starting role but the Broncos don't want to start him until later in the season, probably to train him a little because its a big transition from college to the pros. Trevor Siemian will get the job.

49ers Starting QB: Colin Kaepernick Vs. Blaine Gabbert:
I'm giving this one to Kaepernick, he has so much experience with the team, he lead them to the NFC championship a few years ago, just because he had one down year doesn't mean the 49ers should be giving crappy Blaine Gabbert the job. Kaepernick is also so much better, he can pass well, he's a great runner, he deserves the job and will get it. Just because he had surgeries and hasn't played as much lately doesn't set him back. Kaepernick will get the job that he deserves.

Rams Starting QB: Jared Goff Vs. Case Keenum:
I'm giving the win to Goff. Even though I think it was stupid for the Rams to give up so much to trade up to the first pick, Goff will still get the job. Case Keenum had a chance to lock the starting gig down last year and blew it with just one good game against like the Buccaneers. Goff has looked terrible in these first pre-season games but I think he needs to start. He gives the Rams a new chance to win and I think they will keep him at the job. The Rams should have just waited a season and waited until the QB stacked 2017 draft which holds 10 QB's who are projected to go in the first round, they would have still got someone good and they wouldn't have had to trade. Goff will still get the job but I'm not saying he'll be good.

Seahawks Starting RB: Christine Michael Vs. Thomas Rawls:
Rawls was supposed to be the hands down starter until Michael stepped in this pre-season and started playing well. Rawls ended the season with an injury and hasn't played since, even though he is supposed to be ready for week 1. Rawls won't play in the pre-season and Michael has been and he has been playing well, people are questioning if Rawls will get the job back and I'm saying he will. Michael is good, but Rawls is better. These are pre-season games, they don't matter, the top defenses are out and no one is totally trying. Rawls is the starter and will get a shot at the start of the season but if he plays badly, Michael might have a chance to steal the starting job. I think Michael will be able to get some carries out of Rawls' workload if Rawls starts himself.

Thanks for reading and make sure to watch some pre-season games today, especially the Rams vs Broncos which will feature two of the starting job battles, Broncos QB and Rams QB. It will be a great game.
