List of 2025 Free agent QBs ( Backup for Dak)

[DallasEast]

I disagree, to avoid that, you get the worst backups in history to be there behind him so there's no worry at all of him ever playing unless there's an injury

Are you high?

 

[G2]

You had me until this statement

If you think having Dak back for the playoffs is invaluable, you haven't watched Dak perform in the playoffs the last several years.

His performance or the teams?

Who's your favorite to bring as Dak's backup next season .......I like
* Fields
* Zack Wilson
* Jameis Winston

If I'm the Browns I'm keeping Winston. I like him as a QB. He can be reckless but he can win games too. I see him as an ideal bridge QB.

Rush isn't going anywhere.

And neither will this team if he's the backup and has to play.

You guys are forgetting the whole Stephen Jones factor.

Bring in Winston, and I don't care how many INTs he throws; trust me it won't be a big difference compared to Dak.

Dak doesn't even throw that many INTs, so stop sounding ridiculous, Pappy.

Wonder what kind of bag Darnold and Wilson will get.

I agree 100%.......No way I'm letting him leave. Some are saying Watson will have to compete for his starting job when he returns. They are no longer going to worry about playing him for the sake of his contract. If he can't win his starting job back.......he may be inactive for the entire year.

There’s fans that would want them as our starter and that’s no joke.

 

[KJJ]

Forget Jameis… interception machine

He would make an excellent backup. Despite the INTs he’s had a lot of starts and has won a number of games. He’s also very productive and can throw a lot of TDs. You’re not going to find a backup QB who isn’t flawed. They’ve all had some turnover issues but Winston has more wins and been more productive than any of them.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Not sure about Wilson but someone posted Darnold as earned the right to get a starting QB contract. The 2024 franchise tags for QBs are $38M.
That's probably his floor coz it's close to what it would cost the Vikes if they tagged him but remember they drafted the kid from Michigan 10th overall last season. From my understanding, he could get offers from at least 2-3 teams on the open market ( Seahawks, Giants, Jets, Raiders and Saints were mentioned as possible landing spots)

100% but the Browns would be crazy to let him walk. He's better than Watson if we are being honest.......

They probably won’t let him walk because he has been better than Watson. The only negative with Winston is the INTs.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

. The only negative with Winston is the INTs

and he knows it (LOL). He literally said a prayer at the podium after his last game where he threw one in the closing minute that could have won it.

Against Denver in a loss he had 497 yards and 4 TDs but he had 3 INTs. Against Baltimore in a win he had 3TDs and no INTs. The following week against the Chargers in a loss he had 3 INTs and no TDs. He’s very inconsistent. It can be feast or famine with him.

Back in day my favorite NBA team, the 76ers had a guard they called Microwave coz he was either hot or cold .........man, when he got hot, you couldn't him but when that spell ran dry, he couldn't hit a barn. I have to look up his name (lol) ...I think it was Vinny _____

76ers?

His performance or the teams?

Both have been questionable at times for sure.

But specific to this discussion I'm focusing on Dak as a reply to Aerolithe stating that having Dak back for the playoffs would be invaluable

Everyone sucked against GB

But some previous years against SF our defense was very solid and Dak pretty much crapped all over himself
