Would you trade away our 1st round pick for Philip Rivers?

I would take this in heartbeat if it included swapping 1sts. How you can be against getting a the best qb our franchise has ever seen is beyond me. No bs I would take Rivers over McNair all day. Get Rivers and and have a fighting shot at playoffs, or pick in the top 10 again next year. Choice is simple. We aren't contending any time soon without a qb.

Straight up for #2 is a little iffy to me, but I would probably still do it. I'm sick and tired of sucking.

This would also give us some time to find a qb of the future and let him sit and learn. I think Mett could use some time to learn the game, or we could find a different guy as well.

 

You can't compare position players to a qb. Look at all the qbs recently playing well into their late 30s and still being effective.

Aaron Rodgers is 31. Would you trade #2 for him?

 

I would decline this trade personally.

 

34 when his contract is up.

We pay him what? $50 million for 3 years? In a position where age will likely affect him (it affects everyone).

Too much of a risk.

30? Sure.

34 and up for a new contract? No.

 

If Wizzy wants Rivers, he should trade down from #2 for a bunch of picks, use those picks to help build a solid foundation, then sign Rivers next year when he's a free agent and we aren't so devoid of talent.

Rivers for #2 would just be stupid.

 

If Rivers isn't traded this year then he will either sign a long term deal or get franchised tagged next year. The Bolts aren't just gonna let him walk next yr

 

Because at best, it's 4 years, and short term. At worst. It's one year.

We want a guy for 10+ years, not be adequate enough to be a one-and-done playoff team and pick 20 until we have to do it all again.

 

Manning went to the Super bowl last year at age 37, Brady won the super bowl this year at age 37...y not rivers?

 

1 of those is not like the other 2.

 

What's wrong with being good short term? This gives us a chance to be good while grooming a young qb to take over. Rather be good short term than miss on another qb and suck another 4 years.
