    What wouold you give for a decent backup QB?

    What is it worth to get a decent backup QB?

    Let's say Oakland decides it is willing to trade Flynn. What would you give for him?

    Draft pick(s)? How many? What rounds?
    Oakland can use players, would you give one or more of the DBs, TEs, DLs or LBs?

    I have a difficult time giving up anything, and might just go with the best FA I can find.

    I might give up a sixth for Flynn, but only if Oakland throws in a backup center.

    Just Flynn, maybe a seventh. In 2016.

      It depends on how long we'd need him - a week, 8 games? If we have to finish the season with someone, I'm torn between a youngun with upside and a game manager.

      Right now, there are enough guys on the couch waiting for that post-week-1 phone call that I wouldn't hurry over it. If you go for a trade, you have to compensate the team and pay the balance of his year's salary.

      I like that Ted sticks by his value limits. I wouldn't go past the parameters set by the Palmer/Flynn trades. As for tradeable talent, I think our DBs are too good and our OLs are too poor, so I'd cringe and maybe drop a bottom-of-the-barrel TE or DL. I really don't want to sacrifice someone who could play any game for someone who I never want to come in unless there's a 20-point differential.

      All this wondering makes me want to get a QB next year.

        But you don't know that ahead of time. Let's say that McKenzie is willing to do a deal now. He has 4 QBs, including a young one he likes. You have AR, and don't know if you will need a 2nd QB at all, or if you will need him for 15+ games.

        What are you willing to give for Flynn, who could step into the system immediately?

          I think Thompson would rather drive with a donut in the trunk than upgrade to a full-size.

              Instead of wringing out hands over the backup QB I'd rather we assemble a top notch O line to protect the wonderful QB we already have.

                No one is wringing their hands over it. I started this thread to gauge how important the 'Rats think it is. I stated my position, that I wouldn't give anything and would settle for the best available FA. From the responses, it seems like no one else is willing to spend much either.

                  Switch LT for QB and I think it's a different conversation.

                    I would not be willing to go cheap veteran route unless the price is a sixth rounder or below (Matt Moore type).

                    I might consider more for a young one that could be developed but off the top of my head, I can't think of one a team would part with. Kirk Cousins would cost someone Schaub compensation to get off the Redskins now.
                    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                      It is not an important position fir a team on the way to the Superbowl.

                        Maybe not on this forum but there is plenty of trepidation on other message boards about our O line right now.

                            Probably. My interest was getting a feel for how concerned people were with the backup QB spot.

                              I'm not too concerned

                              The Packers need the best QB in football to excel

                              To be honest if we took a lower tier backup for a 6th or 7th rounder..Rodgers goes out...we're screwed anyways

                              I'd either take the best FA or offer up a 7th if I can get a guy I want for not too much money
                              TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER
