Many quarterback options left available in the free agency market. What are the Bengals going to do with the “Red Rifleman” Andy Dalton? Is journeyman Brian Hoyer the answer for the Evil Empire Patriots? Are the Chargers going to hand the ball to Tyrod Taylor? Some teams will want a bridge type of quarterback for their team. A guy that will drive the car and help mold a young quarterback prospect.A guy that will hand over the keys without being a disruption to the team. Two quarterbacks on the market have played in the Superbowl. One of them has won the Superbowl. Plus you have a guy that threw 30 touchdown passes last season and is just about to enter his prime, young and healthy. These quarterbacks may be plucked after the NFL draft when teams know what they have and what they need. It brings up the big question about these guys that have done some great things in the game. Why are they still out there?

After signing the big deal after he won the Superbowl for the Baltimore Ravens in 2013, it’s been downhill for Joe Flacco. Flacco led the Ravens to the playoffs six times. Flacco brought his team to three AFC Championship games, which includes a 10-5 record in the playoffs. Flacco won seven of those ten games on the road. Flacco was the MVP of that Superbowl victory. The Ravens knew Flacco was on the downside of his career and they drafted Lamar Jackson. The way Flacco looked at Jackson not embracing him in his arrival to Baltimore. You can understand the guy is going to take your job. Lamar Jackson did take Flacco’s job with poor play by Joe and an injury. Flacco was dealt to Denver. After eight games of the rocky mountain high, Flacco was just average, nothing special. Had that kind of Jay Cutler thing going of “I don’t give a crap just keep depositing the money in my account every week. Flacco never made a pro bowl. His regular season numbers overall don’t jump off the charts. During playoffs he is a different animal. Denver found their guy in Drew Lock. Flacco has been shown the door in Denver after one season. Flacco is damaged goods right now with the hip injury a few years back and poor play. Would you want Flacco around a quarterback you’re developing? I think his play behind center these days is the reason he will not be in some teams’ plans for a starting quarterback. I can’t see him holding a clip board. Plus at 35 years old it might be time to put him out to pasture.

Cam Newton in my book is just a glorified fantasy football quarterback. Newton has a strong arm. Newton can score himself on goal line situations because being a bigger guy he is hard to bring down. Injuries sidelined Newton last season as he only played in two games. Cam Newton when things are going great he act likes like Superman soaking all the cheers in like a leach sucking out your blood. Then when things go south you’re dealing with a bipolar type of person. He’s like a kid taking his ball home to dodge questions from the press. The way Newton treated that female reporter trying to sound like she did not belong there. My biggest sticking point about Cam Newton is from the biggest game of his career. The biggest stage of them all, the Superbowl. Newton helped get the Panthers to the big game. Late in the game, the fumble Newton did not dive on. In a close game he did not want to get hurt. In the Superbowl everything is chucked out the window. You’re risking everything to help win that trophy for your team. With the Coronavirus lurking, will it delay Newton from getting another job after being released by the Panthers? Teams need to see how his injuries are progressing and if they have healed completely. My opinion is I don’t want my quarterback being a prima donna. Not sure I want him infesting my younger quarterback with bad habits. My biggest question is why former head coach, now Washington Redskins head coach, Ron Rivera who knows more about Cam than Cam, did not trade for him? Rivera was quick on the draw to trade for Cam Newton’s back up quarterback Kyle Allen.

I just cannot imagine being an Uber driver and having a athlete who is a muscular big guy, all of a sudden start groping you behind the wheel. Is the groping the tip? No thanks, Jameis Winston. Then he stole crab legs from a grocery store. Jameis Winston before he was drafted did some questionable things in college. This brings me to believe this guy has bad character. As a team will I have to keep Chico’s bail bonds on speed dial if I signed a Jameis Winston?

Besides being a nut job, Jameis Winston is only 26 years old. Winston has 5 seasons under his belt all with the team that drafted him, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Winston has no injuries and has a strong arm with which he threw 33 touchdown passes last season. The downside is he threw 30 interceptions. By the way, Winston is the first quarterback to have the 30 for 30 thing going all-time. Then you add Winston’s 5 fumbles which adds up to 35 turnovers from one guy. Six of those 30 interceptions were returned for a pick six. Phillip Rivers had a bad year, he threw a ton of interceptions, the Colts signed him to a one year deal and he’s a guy closing on 40 years old. Jameis Winston is by far the most intriguing guy on the market because he is 26 years old. You can say Bruce Arians was unable to fix Winston. Maybe Bruce Arians did some good work because Winston threw a career high in touchdown passes. If Winston can behave himself off field and cut those interceptions in half, he might be worth it.

I’m surprised the Chicago Bears did not jump all over the Red Rifleman. Did GM Ryan Pace get warned that the Red Ryder will shoot his eye out?

Not sure what the Bengals intentions are with Andy Dalton. Some reports say they may keep Dalton and use him as the bridge type quarterback when they draft Joe Burrow. Maybe the Bengals think they can get more for Andy Dalton if they hold on to him after the draft. Dalton did not have such a great season last year. The team was riddled with injuries especially to the play-makers and the offensive line. Andy Dalton is 32 years old and has helped the Bengals to five straight playoff berths over his career.Andy Dalton had no luck in the playoffs as he never won a game behind center. I think Andy Dalton is a good character type of guy. I think a change of scenery would relaunch his career. Dalton is very durable and has a strong arm. If you can put him in the right system and surround him with some play-makers, he can get you to the playoffs. Maybe a different coach can navigate some success out of him in the post season.

I would love to see Bill Belichick and Jameis Winston plotting on the side line. Bad citizens and rejects or misfit toys always play better for the Patriots. It’s like boot camp with Bill Belichick as the drill Sergeant. Patriots are in need of something besides what they got unless they plan to fold up and rebuild. I can see the Chargers getting their bang for their buck giving Newton or Winston a go on a one year “prove it” deal. You can’t be happy if the Chargers are going into the season with Tyrod Taylor as the guy. That will just irritate your two fans they do have and now you’re stuck with extra Charger gear that you’ll donate to some Middle Eastern terrorist cell with old Rivers jerseys. Only Andy Dalton I would want backing up my guy or younger quarterback. Dalton should be a starter for somebody. It may take an injury for one of these guys to get picked up. Maybe they will all end up watching football with Colin Kaepernick on the couch. Does Kaepernick kneel at home when the National Anthem plays before the game?
