MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK

I hope Brees ends up with them all.... Never know when Brady gets that "one hit" that makes him decide his modeling career is more important than his football career.

 

Report: Josh Allen won’t need surgery, out at least 2-3 games...

Dr. James Andrews confirmed that Josh Allen does not need Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports. The damage to Allen’s ulnar collateral ligament is not a full tear.

With rest and rehab, the Bills rookie quarterback should return in about a month, per Pelissero. Allen will miss at least the next two or three games.

Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota missed two starts with his elbow injury, which was UCL-related.

Bills coach Sean McDermott called Allen week to week Monday before Andrews reviewed Allen’s MRI.

The Bills will start either Nathan Peterman or Derek Anderson in Allen’s absence. They signed Anderson only last week, but McDermott said all options are on the table for Week Seven.

Derek Anderson will start for Bills on Sunday...

The word over the last few days has been that Bills quarterback Josh Allen‘s elbow injury will keep him from playing against the Colts this weekend and Bills head coach Sean McDermott calling him week to week did nothing to make anyone feel otherwise.

The bigger question was whether the Bills would start Derek Anderson in his second week with the team or if they’d continue to ride the Nathan Peterman experience. That question was answered on Wednesday.

McDermott said at his press conference that the team will start Anderson against Indianapolis. He said Anderson is up to speed, although that didn’t deter a question about whether he feared losing the trust of players if he went back to Peterman after his two interceptions in relief last week and nine interceptions in 79 career attempts.

“I’m always going to do what I feel is right for this football team,” McDermott said, via Vic Carucci of the Buffalo News. “I certainly trust and have a heck of a lot of respect for our locker room.”

McDermott repeated the week to week timeline for Allen and said that there is no plan for surgery at this point. (NBC's PFT)

I never heard of him.

 

Never heard of who

 

Derek Anderson.

 

He was the last QB to take the Browns to the Playoffs (2007). Might be the last one to have a winning record for the season.

 

Brock Osweiler will start again for Dolphins...

Brocktober will rage on in Miami this Sunday.

The Dolphins have earned some scrutiny from the way they handled injury reporting on quarterback Ryan Tannehill last week, but there will be no need for any inquiry about Week Seven. Head coach Adam Gase said at his Wednesday press conference that Brock Osweiler will start against the Lions in Miami on Sunday.

Gase and the Dolphins have resisted putting any timeline on Tannehill’s recovery from his right shoulder injury, but the writing seemed to be on the wall at Wednesday’s practice. Tannehill was there, but he was not throwing the ball and the coach said on Monday that any determination about Tannehill’s return would be based largely on how he’s throwing the ball.

The Dolphins will play in Houston on Thursday night in Week Eight, so the quick decision to rule Tannehill out this week may not bode well for his return for the team’s next game.

Osweiler got the nod against the Bears last weekend in his first start as a Dolphin and went 28-of-44 for 380 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in a 31-28 overtime win. (NBC's PFT)

 

lol...

 

Close, but no cigar.

He WOULD have taken the Browns to the playoffs but the Colts tanked the last game of the season against the Titans and the Titans went to the playoffs on a tie breaker instead.

 

opps that is right bah close enough

 

Had a big FANTASY season (5th in TD passes, 29), for whatever that's worth.

 

There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear

 

Mike Zimmer concerned about Kirk Cousins’ fumbles...

Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has thrown the ball well this year, but there’s one thing he still needs to clean up, and it’s the same thing that has plagued him throughout his career: fumbles.

Cousins has fumbled six times this season and lost five of them. Since he became a full-time starter before the 2015 season, Cousins has fumbled 37 times and lost 16 of them. Both of those totals are the most in the NFL over the last four years.


“I’m concerned about all the fumbles. We’ve got to do a better job,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said, via ESPN. “I think the two times, the two that I remember that he fumbled, both times guys were coming from behind him. He’s got to, when he starts moving up in the pocket, he has to be ready to put the ball [away], so we’ll address that.”

Cousins has been trying to address it throughout his career. So far, he hasn’t fixed it. (NBC's PFT)

 

Maybe that’s why he can’t get his team farther than one and done

 

That was then, this is now.

 

Broncos cut Chad Kelly...

The Broncos have had enough of Chad Kelly.

Kelly, the backup quarterback who was arrested early yesterday morning for criminal trespassing, was cut by Denver today.

That’s a harsh punishment, but Kelly had to know he was out of second chances: He dropped to the very end of last year’s draft because of off-field problems when he was in college, and the Broncos surely warned him that he was going to be on a short leash.

There had been some talk that Kelly could start for the Broncos this year if Case Keenum continued to struggle, but now there’s no chance of that happening. Kevin Hogan will move up to No. 2 on the depth chart behind Keenum.

Kelly will be subject to waivers, which means any team that wants him can have him, paying him only the league minimum salary for the rest of this season. If there’s a team that thinks Kelly has the potential to be a starting quarterback some day, he could easily get claimed. But a lot of teams will decide he’s more trouble than he’s worth. (NBC's PFT)

 

That’s what every team needs. A wack at Quarterback.

 

Quarterbacks are becoming the new Punter's.

 

The price of quarterbacks in the draft is going to increase dramatically over the next 7 years.

Brady
Brees
Roethlisberger
Flacco
Manning
Rivers
Smith
Rodgers
Ryan
Keenum

This is the list of 30 something QBs that will retire or be in consideration for an AARP card over the next half decade+.

Plus, a player like Bortles, Winston, Carr or Tannehill will be potentially on the way out of their current gigs as soon as 2019 and other young arms that we don't have enough info on to know if they can make it past that 7 year mark.

That's 14 slingers that may need replacements in a relatively small window of time. Teams are going to be taking their shot and overspending a lot, and passers that would normally get high third round grades are going to start getting end of first round consideration.

 

Yep... the ol' supply and demand kicks in. Might lead to well overpriced QB's going early like you stated. Hopefully, but not much can be done about, there is an abundance of talent at that position. Might even see a younger, less expensive wave hit the NFL also, I don't know.
