2018 NFL Season

[Chris_H_2]

wasn't eli manning the the rumored next quarterback of jacksonville because of his connection with coughlan?

[epilogue]

That was definitely my prediction at one point. And I could still see that happening. They really are a QB away from a Super Bowl. Eli mimicking Peyton and going to a stacked team with a great defense to wind down his career and get one last ring makes all the sense in the world to me. Coughlan is just sweetener.

But I feel less confident about that move now because Bortles exceeded expectations. I still think the Jags SHOULD move on from him but I will no longer be surprised if they don't.

go broncos

[epilogue]

Yes, I could also see Eli go to the Broncos.

[doug rr]

at this point, why not

[epilogue]

I would think Elway wants a long-term solution at the QB position. But maybe get a vet for one or two quick strikes, while you still have that defense and can make a legit run? Then blow it up and rebuild? Who knows what the guy's thinking. But he has three Super Bowl rings and I don't have any. So...

Joey, I'll let this thread age for a bit before I give my prediction for a Chefs' win total for next year (the number may surprise you!).

This year really beat the fight out of me. This was a tough, tough season. No matter what your prediction, I can't imagine it'll get much push-back from me (positive or negative). But I'm looking forward to your take, none the less.

Unless they get Cousins, they need both a vet and a rookie, in case one of the two doesn't hit. Let one of Siemian/Lynch go and have the other in competition along with Chad Kelly who's a forgotten man right now.

The only ones that seem way off to me is Eli to the Cards plus Keenum to the Giants. I think NYG either keeps Manning or throws a rookie to the wolves.

That makes sense to me. I was just trying to be bold and shake things up a bit. And there's the Shurmur connection with the Giants that leads me to believe Keenum is a real possibility there. IF that happens, then Eli is gone. That's the only reason I had him going to the Cards. I was playing out an if/then scenario to keep it interesting.

Maybe. But the stats disagree with you about his being average. And we need CB help. So, even if you're right, I like the Chiefs taking a shot on a guy that is PFF's #6 overall and #2 slot CB.

If the Eagles pull it out Sunday, Foles has to be a starter somewhere, no? You don't go from winning the SB to riding the pine. His contract is favorable (signed through 2021 at $6.1 million per year), so there may be some trade partners, even though he could certainly hold out if he feels like he's in demand.

I say this, but Trent Dilfer went from winning the SB one year to just starting 4 games for a different team the next year.

I agree. But I don't think there's a shot on Earth that the Eagles actually win that game. In fact, I'd say the odds of Foles losing that game for them are higher than the Eagles winning.

[epilogue]

But, to your point, if Foles is gonna be a starter somewhere, I could see him in a place like Minnesota or Buffalo. Probably Buffalo.

I wish I had your confidence for Sunday (watch ruddo move this post to the other thread).

What division do you think has the best QB class in your scenario?
