Teams with the worst QB situation in the NFL

[McKDaddy]

So 12 wins a season is dragging a franchise down? I am sure the Giants will take that every day

yes, cause he did it all.

 

[McKDaddy]

If Lance doesn’t come around by next year and give Minshew or whoever he’s competing against a battle, he’ll be a complete waste of time. I don’t care how accomplished Gardner Minshew is, no one‘s going to win anything with him.

Didn't the Colts win 9 games with him last year?

 

[McKDaddy]

I have no idea where you come up with some of this stuff.

yes you do.

 

[Risen Star]

How'd you like to draft a QB 1st overall and still be on the top 5 of this list a year later?

 

[zerofill]

In other words, these could be potential teams for Dak to consider if there is no extension

Cleveland... with the amount they have invested, they definitely have negative ROI.

How do you have a better QB situation when your QB goes 3-6 and you end up 6-11? Tennessee is putting their hopes on a second round QB who struggled as a rookie. Saying they have hope would be like saying Carolina has hope with Bryce Young who struggled. Everyone knows that we’ll get consistent QB play from Dak and he’ll give us a chance to make the playoffs again. You’re just blowing hot air if you’re saying you would rather be in Tennessee’s situation. Lol They have a couple of castoff WR’s and they replaced Derrick Henry with Tony Pollard. If they were trying, they would’ve never gotten rid of AJ Brown.

Everyone knows Dak sucks under pressure and we will go nowhere. Those other teams have young QBs and there is at least hope. We don't have that - we know what we are stuck with and he's a playoff loser. I'd rather have hope.

Same with the Panthers.

100%

It’s what he does after the 12 wins that drags a franchise down.

Reasons can be used for excuses. Whether something is a legitimate reason or just attempts to make excuses is really up to interpretation and the viewpoint of those doing the evaluation.

The fact is, Watson has accomplished nothing on the field since 2020.

So, taking all the negatives into consideration, it still means people shouldn’t be looking at Watson as a good QB or anywhere near a good QB right now.

The man missed a season and a half due to off field behavior. He is now one similar infraction away from lifetime suspension.

Since returning he overall has played poorly. Sure he has had some good moments and games. That could be said for just about any QB even the bad ones in the league. There really is no justifying or waving away having a QB rating in the low 80’s over a 12 game stretch.

That is an awful stretch of play.

So the point remains. He hasn’t consistently played well since 2020

So IMO the author is totally justified in thinking the Browns QB situation is one of the worst in the league. They have a QB on a fully guaranteed contract who is one false move away from a lifetime suspension.

In the past 2 seasons since he came back he has an abysmal passer rating. Daniel Jones level of overall play.

If you think their QB situation is good or you think Watson is gonna turn it around. That’s fine. Feel that way. Maybe he will.

But the browns QB situation has been nothing but a mess since they signed Watson to that deal and the author is right to rate their situation so low. Again IMO. I am basing my opinion on all of the facts at hand.

Your "since 2020" is merely an attempt to be misleading and imply a long period of poor play when it's 12 games.

I have no idea how he will do. But I do acknowledge that he has shown the ability to be elite. And he's still young, so he's not physically impaired.

I don’t believe for a second they think Trey Lance will take a big enough step for them to pass on a QB if one warrants the pick in the first round, assuming Dak leaves in free agency. They’ve had a full year to look at Lance. Knowing Jerry he’s going to want to cover himself at QB the best he can if Dak leaves. When he drafted Troy Aikman he also took Steve Walsh in the supplemental draft to cover himself. He’s not about to enter the 2025 season banking on Trey Lance to turn the corner. I think the Joneses have seen enough to know he’s not going to be the long-term answer. He’s not even good enough to be our backup QB and this is his fourth NFL season. He’s had enough reps to be a backup QB in this league if he was any good.

I've come to not try to expect the Joneses to do the obvious.

No it’s not an attempt at being misleading. The fact he has barely played since 2020 is very relevant.

It’s very relevant. The dude hasn’t done anything of note on the field in 3 years. It’s extremely relevant to him being ranked low as a starter going into the season.

You seriously don’t think it’s relevant when ranking a player that they haven’t really played many games and hasn’t played consistently well in games for 3 seasons (no matter what the reasons may be)?

 

[GINeric]

I'm rooting for Dak cuz if he plays well, then our team does well. And who doesn't want their favorite team to do well?

You'd be surprised. I can name 3 people here who disappear from the board for a week after every win when Dak plays well..... and these same low IQ coward try to convince people that they are really Cowboys fans. LOL!!

Only dumb, low IQ people here believe they are and fall for their whole act.

It's far more relevant to his bad play in limited time than it is to him as a player going forward.

Everyone who hates him thinks that. Some of you have brainwashed yourselves into believing the crap that’s posted about him here. The ones who get paid to talk NFL football and actually played the game don’t spew the BS the fans post here. Dak is only 31 that’s not old for a QB. Being “stuck” is not having a viable QB. If it was up to fans like you we would be stuck with nothing at QB. A 9 year veteran QB that’s won a couple of playoff games, is battle tested and is coming off an MVP caliber season gives me hope.

 

[KJJ]

No, his QB record last season with the Colts was 7-6. That’s not going to get it done. Minshew is typical of a castoff that’s bouncing around the league. They’re up and down.

 

[HungryLion]

So if you just admit it has relevancy perhaps you shouldn’t make baseless accusations that I am attempting to be misleading.

We will also have to disagree on impact it can potentially have going forward.

Players generally don’t get better from not playing and from suffering injuries.

When I watched Watson play last year he just totally looked like a player whose confidence was gone. He’s gonna need to get that back. Then maybe he can turn things around.

Better than what?

What they were before, or better than when they came back?

If the former, that's a pretty high bar in Watson's case. If it's the latter, then I disagree completely.

So who are rooting for Dak to be great so he stays here depending production with playoff wins.
Or who is rooting for him to be horrible so one of those teams will pay him what he wants.

Good question. For me personal agendas go out the window when the games start. I want to win. So I hope for the next 17 games and hopefully 3 more Dak goes undefeated cuz that’ll mean we go undefeated. And I hope no one gets injured.

In the offseason is when my personal agenda comes out. Now I’m not saying Dak will be my favorite player but when the game start and he takes the field, I’m rooting for him to ball out every time.

Battle tested is used to describe someone or something that has PASSED the test.. Dak has been a total failure at the playoff test. I couldn't care less about regular season MVP awards or near misses. Oh and people who are paid to talk about the league are mostly paid to prop it up and say good things about it and its high profile players. Most other people realize Dak is a loser. Look at the polls on this site and this is a Cowboys fan site for crying out loud.

I saw an article this past week saying Dak would be the biggest FA since Reggie White. Dak will get paid just a question of where.

No question. Dak will be the most sought out FA in recent times or maybe in FA history due to him being a QB. The question rises will the team that wins the Dak sweepstakes become a better playoff team?
