Give me Herbert over Tua.

[Spider-Dan]

Hmmm.  Didn't know Rivers is a free agent.

San Diego does not have the draft capital that we have and the cost to move up a few spots this year will probably be high because they know they can bid them against Miami and they know exactly what they want. I just don't see them having to use their 2nd and 2021 1st rounder to move up 2-3 spots when Herbert should be right there for him.

BUMP:  Closest thing we have to a general QB thread.

The three-month CT scan for #Bama QB and coveted draft prospect Tua Tagovailoa was as positive as possible, sources say. The fracture has healed. The hip and its range of motion is good. It’ll likely be another month before he’s cleared for football activities, tho, as expected.

Excellent news. Although, the odds of another team moving up just got slightly higher. I still don't think it would happen as the cost of it would be very high but it's a concern. More of a concern would be the Lions bullshitting us and saying another team wants to move up in an attempt to steal one of our 1st rounders.

Rivers moved out of California. He won't be there next year because the Chargers are ready to move on also by reports.

Supposedly he is moving to Florida.  Please don't let the Dolphins sign him.  He is the biggest whiney ass crybaby in all of football which is not a trait you want him installing in a young QB.  Besides, Fitz is a better QB at this stage of their careers and he would also be a better mentor for a rookie QB.

I think Rivers will end up in Tampa. If it happens it both excites me and depresses me because this deal was actually done a while ago and proves tampering goes on all the time.

I think he is retiring.  He is moving to the panhandle to be closer to both his and his wife’s family.  I think he is too much of a family man to live away from his family for the season and he won’t be in commuting distance to any team.

That is one possibility. His legacy won't be tainted by going out with a bad year and there is a certain shine to playing your whole career with one team. With that being said, if he can rebound with a good season, how far would Tampa Bay go? Are they a legit division contender with a good QB or is 8-8 their ceiling regardless?

Pensacola to Tampa is about 6 hours by car and about 1.5 hours by plane.

Rivers is a Grade A prick.  Usually in your early days in the league, you're brash, little arrogant with your abilities.  He still hasn't grown out of it, just like he doesn't know to get a vasectomy and stop having kids

My biggest issue with him is that he will throw a horrible pass and then berate the receiver on the field. I get it that sometimes maybe the receiver ran the route wrong and it looks like a bad throw but it is really on the receiver.  But it happens way too often for it to always be the receiver's fault.  Part of being an adult is accepting accountability and not blaming everyone else for your problems (mistakes).  And that is even more important in a leadership position like QB.

Very talented player but a bad teammate and leader. Probably why the Chargers never made it to the Superbowl.

I like Rivers's fiery attitude.

The talking heads on national sports radio are now saying that if healthy and able to throw at Alabama's Pro Day, Tua may go before 5.

If Chase Young is available at 3, there's no way DET lets that pick go at anything resembling a fair price.  So I see 3 possible scenarios:

1) MIA stays put at 5 and Tua falls into their lap (getting more unlikely by the minute)
2) CIN picks Burrow first, Young goes 2nd to WSH, MIA trades #5 and #39 to DET to move up to #3 and picks Tua
3) MIA gives WSH a king's ransom (something on the order of all three first-round picks) to trade up to #2

I think MIA needs to trade up with DET, and soon.  By the time we get to the draft, Dan Snyder may be ready to pick Tua, and the price for DET to let Young go on draft day will be huge.

[Sunstroke]

Tua will be there at 5, and any panic-inspired trade to move up will be nothing more than a waste of draft capital that could be better used to add more quality players to the roster.
