I was watching First Take last week, if you don't know the show Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith "argue" about the NFL and NBA 5 days a week, you don't have to watch the show daily they basically say the same thing day after day week after week. Last week however they brought up a good question, what other team would take Tony Romo straight up in a trade for their QB? It got me thinking if you were team A and team B called you up and said hey do you want our QB all you gotta give us is your QB. Think of it as turning fair trades off on Madden and you giving Matt Cassel to the Patriots for Tom Brady, I know it couldn't happen but if your KC you'd take that deal. I'm gonna list each teams starter and then say who they trade for. Take into account age, system, and ability. Another thing to look at is where someone was drafted or what the team gave up to get them. Meaning guys like Tannehill, RG III, and Luck are in my eyes a little more valued by their current teams, and that is gonna go for a lot of teams who've drafted their QB in the last 3 years.
Buffalo Bills would trade Ryan Fitzpatrick for Brady, Big Ben, Flacco, Andy Dalton-would be close, Matt Schaub, Andrew Luck, Phillip Rivers, Peyton, Romo-would be really close, RG III, Eli, Vick, Cutler, Rodgers, Stafford, Cam, Matt Ryan, Brees, and Sam Bradford. I know Buffalo just gave Fitzy an extension but I tend to think they'd take most of these guys. Over half of them are top 10 picks and for the most part are more consistent than Fitzy. I think the Romo-Dalton-Vick line is really close other than that I think the rest would be no brainers for the Bills.
Miami Dolphins would trade Ryan Tannehill for Brady, Big Ben, Flacco, Schaub, Luck, Peyton, RG III, Eli, Rodgers, Stafford, Cam, Matt Ryan, Brees, and Sam Bradford. I don't even like Tannehill and I think the list I made is short, but they took him top 10 so they'd have to get someone better than him back. Guys like Rivers and Cutler are gonna be as inconssistant as Tannehill but he's younger so age does matter.
New England Patriots would trade Tom Brady for Eli and Rodgers. Maybe one of the hardest decisions to make in this. The only reason I think they'd pull this trigger is age, both guys are younger than Brady but both have rings.
New York Jets would trade Mark Sanchez for everyone but Kevin Kolb. I think the Jets are done with Sanchez and even a Jake Locker or Brandon Weeden would at least get a little more rope from the fan base. Now remember this is only for the starting QB so Tim Tebow isn't part of the discussion. I just think Sanchez is in such a terrible spot that the Jets would be willing to take anyone for him if they could handle the pressure better.
Baltimore Ravens would trade Joe Flacco for Brady, Big Ben, Peyton, Eli, Rodgers, Stafford-close, Matt Ryan-close, Brees, and Sam Bradford. I look at the Ravens like this, if they had an experienced QB they're in the Super Bowl last year. They have talent on the outside but Flacco doesn't seem to utilize it all the time. On the flip side I think they'd take one of the top QB's who've been in the league a few years but none of the new top guys, that's why I like Bradford-Ryan-Stafford for them but not Luck-RGIII-Cam, because Baltimore needs a guy who's been around at least a couple years.
Cincinnati Bengals would trade Andy Dalton for Brady, Big Ben, Flacco, Schaub-close, Luck, Rivers-close, Peyton, Eli, Rodgers, Stafford, Cam, Matt Ryan, Brees, and Sam Bradford. I know the Bengals like Dalton but he's a game manager and they could use a playmaker back there. I bet Jay Gruden would like a little more experience. Rivers and Peyton would be interesting because the leap wouldn't be as big but I still think the Bengals make the move. I'm gonna use Stafford-Bradford-Luck a lot in this thing only b/c they are all #1 picks and all have talent in bunches so I tend to think most teams would take them in heart beat.
Cleveland Browns would trade Brandon Weeden for Brady, Big Ben, Flacco, Dalton, Schaub, Rivers, Peyton, Carson Palmer, Romo, RG III, Eli, Vick, Cutler, Rodgers, Stafford, Christian Ponder, Cam, Matt Ryan, Brees, Alex Smith, and Sam Bradford. Brandon Weeden is 28 years old, if it takes him 2 years to get comfortable in this system and the Browns to surround him with talent he'll be 30 on the downward portion of his career what a future. I think the Browns would pull the trigger on someone younger than Weeden say a Ponder just because his age gives him a longer window to learn the system.
Pittsburgh Steelers would trade Ben Roethlisberger for Brady, Eli, Rodgers, and Brees. For the most part I think Ben is the QB for the Steelers he's big and tough just like the Steelers but the 4 guys I listed all have that little extra Ben doesn't. But Ben has age on Peyton, and is a winner over Rivers-Schaub-Flacco.
Houston Texans would trade Matt Schaub for Brady, Flacco-close, Big Ben, Rivers-close, Peyton, Eli, Rodgers, Stafford, Matt Ryan, Brees, and Sam Bradford. Houston is in a unique position of being in a window where they could win it all, so they'd either need a proven winner or a young guy who takes care of the football b/c Kubiak doesn't like guys who give the ball away. That's why I leave Cutler off he doesn't have the control to keep Kubiak happy. I do however think a guy like Rivers would thrive with all the weapons. Matt Ryan is basically doing the same think in Atlanta only slightly better so I like the fit. Once again Bradford and Stafford are b/c of the age and draft postition.
Indianpolis Colts would trade Andrew Luck for Eli and Rodgers. They have Peyton 2.0 and the only reason I think they'd take these 2 is age. I keep Brady-Brees off b/c they're the closest to Peyton in age and the Colts are set at QB for the next 10 years and they only has about 5 years left. Peyton is left off as well b/c frankly the Colts already made that deal.
Jacksonville Jaguars would trade Blain Gabbert for Brady, Big Ben, Flacco, Dalton, Schaub, Luck, Rivers, Peyton, Romo, RG III, Eli, Vick, Cutler, Rodgers, Stafford, Cam, Matt Ryan, Brees, and Sam Bradford. I think the Jags are a mess that's all I can't really comment on the current situation.
Tennessee Titans would trade Jake Locker for Brady, Big Ben, Flacco, Schaub, Luck, Rivers, Peyton, Romo, RG III, Eli, Vick, Cutler, Rodgers, Stafford, Ponder, Cam, Matt Ryan, Brees, and Sam Bradford. Another team that's a mess, I don't care for Locker and think he's overated but the Titans made their bed when they drafted him in the top ten, but I think they see Ponder and wish maybe they had him.
Denver Broncos would trade Peyton Manning for Brady, Big Ben, Rodgers, Eli, and Brees. Requirement to replace Manning is rings and these guys are all younger than him and they all have rings.
Kansas City Chiefs would trade Matt Cassel for well it'd be easier to say who they wouldn't trade for, and that's Sanchez and Kevin Kolb. The Chiefs are a mess and yesterday the fans cheered when Cassel got hurt.
Oakland Raiders would trade Carson Palmer for Brady, Big Ben, Flacco, Dalton, Schaub, Luck, Rivers, Peyton, RG III, Eli, Cutler, Rodgers, Stafford, Cam, Matt Ryan, Brees and Sam Bradford. Another team that is a mess but if your Oakland you gotta upgrade so bringing in a guy who's a pick around 10 isn't gonna help he's either gotta be a winner or a top 3 pick.
San Diego Chargers would trade Phillip Rivers for , Brady, Big Ben, Flacco, Luck, Peyton, Eli, Rodgers, Stafford, Matt Ryan, Brees, and Sam Bradford. I actually like Rivers and think he's a bona fide stud just stuck with nobodies at WR.
That's all for today I'll tackle the NFC next week. Chase thought of the week is I wish on a last lap crash they raced back to the checker flag b/c if your car is so torn up it can't move a car who avoided the accident should finish higher than you if that car can cross the finish line. Denny has 6 races left to make up 23 points, but the rest of the way doesn't have the bumps the last 2 weeks had.
