I think we lose Moore in free agency. Devlin has not thrown an nfl pass or done anything to deserve to throw an nfl pass. There is not much out there as far as f/a qbs this year.

Do we sign David Gerrard?

Not a bad option.

Maybe we draft a guy late and bump devlin up to #2.

Wait...are we going back in time? What's Cleo Lemon up to these days?

Just in care you're serious, after taking yet ANOTHER year off of football, I wouldn't touch him. He's going to be 35 and hasn't played a regular season down in 2 years. No way.

I think we are going to have to draft someone earlier. Maybe at 4.
Just not sure what Devlin brings if anything.

RESPONSE: See Montequi's response above.

Why so early?

I'm not against it if the value is there but lets face it, if we go into next year with RT, Devlin and a mid-late round rookie as our QB's then our season is over if RT ever goes down for more than a week or two.

I think we can get a player int he 4th and 5th rounds that can contribute on game day each week at some other position. I'd be very hesitant to trade taking a player who might pitch in every week for a guy who will be carrying a clipboard all season barring catastrophe.

Philbin loves Devlin. And Devlin looked much improved in the preseason.

We'll probably be able to get Matt Flynn cheaply once Seattle cuts him.

Granted Russell Wilson is, in my opinion, the best of this quarterback class of this draft (that's why in my bracket I had the Seahawks going all the way) but still Mark, shouldn't we still be suspicious of how easily he was beat out by a what 5th round draft choice? I mean, was it that much Russell or that less Flynn?

if cut flynn wouldn't sign anywhere to be a backup, so he's not signing here. maybe AZ or Buf

I think Philbin sticks with Delvin.....not a bad idea either. Delvin continues to get reps and he comes off the bench and wins games if necessary.

Devlin "CONTINUES" to what? He has never played in a regular season game. He's never come off the bench or won a game in the regular season. What is everyone's infatuation with this guy? He's only ever played in preseason and practice?

31 Other teams have had a chance to sign Garrard, nobody did... Why would we want to choose an option nobody else wants?

Well, a 3rd round pick. And it shouldn't have been surprising. Joe Philbin knew Flynn's abilities and limitations better than anyone. And Miami offered him backup money. Philbin knew he was a backup. So, it shouldn't have been a surprise when he didn't win a starting job. He's due over $5M this year. Seattle would save $3M by cutting him. I would not be surprised if that happens and he finds himself as a free agent. The advantage to signing him would be that he is familiar with the system.

Got it. So it was a case of that less Flynn.

They could even decide to keep Flynn. Russell is making less than $1m per year. To pay him that, and Flynn $8m would hardly cripple their cap.

But I think they move him (trade or cut) if he asks for it.
