I read an article earlier today about the movement of legit NFL starting QB’s. It kinda started last year with Tom Brady, Cam Newton (somebody please stick a fork in his ass and turn him over, he’s done), Teddy Bridgewater, Nick Foles, Phillip Rivers, Jameis Winston, and Marcus Mariota moving last offseason. This year there are guys like Carson Wentz (lots of dead money there Oofa), Matthew Stafford, Matt Ryan, Derek Carr/Marcus Mariota (never trust Gruden to do the smart thing), Jimmy Garoppolo, and others(do the Bears pay Mitchell Trubisky starting QB money? Please God say yes!!!) who may be moving teams in the offseason. It will be interesting to see who ends up where for next season.
It seems to me, and I’m certainly up for being corrected, that the value of a starting QB in the NFL is finally coming to a more realistic standard. Teams may now realizing throwing massive amounts of money at slightly better than average QB’s isn’t very helpful in building a winning franchise. Or QB’s are just getting older and teams want shiny new toys. I’ve heard it both ways.
Should be interesting…
