Quarterbacks on the Hot Seat
-
Hot seat for me implies an established starter with someone pushing them. Dalton fits this mold. He's established and has a backup in AJ McCarron that many are eager to see. Smith's KC situation seems like the 2nd best fit. Not too many others of those mentioned so far fit nearly as well IMO... but I have a new name I'll close with...
Placeholders aren't on a hot seat. Hoyer, Glennon and Savage are clearly placeholders. It's not a matter of "if", but "when" for them. Only difference in Hoyer's case is that his replacement arrives next season. Pretty much the same for any of the Jets QBs.
Browns differ from the Jets in that we have three contenders with more promise each than the Jets QBs have in total... unless my former darkhorse, Petty, turns it on.
No one is established, so the seat is cold.May be semantics, but I also do not think of Bortles and Tannehill as hot-seaters... more like QBs at a cross-roads. Neither has anyone pressing them.
Other young guns are still a year or so away from their crossroad. I count Goff in this group. A good 2017 will push it down the road another year; a bad one will set it in 2018.
And now the new name... Tom Brady.
- Established vet? Check... a 40-yo one to boot.
- Being pushed? Eh... going into the season more like shadowed, but when Jimmy G was not traded, the shadow grew longer.
I don't expect Tom to falter, but should he, or get injured, then the least sentimental HC in the NFL will see his 2018 UFA backup in action and all bets are off...

Tour2ma nailed it! I've been thinking the same thing about Brady! He's an injury away from retirement. I remember how Peyton Manning lit it up his first year in Denver. Of course, he had Decker, Demarious Thomas, Julius Thomas, Emanuel Sanders, and Wes Welker.
But by year three it was the Bronco's Defense that was winning their games, not Manning! His arm looked like a wet noodle and he was throwing a lot of interceptions.
If Brady stays upright then I feel sorry for Garapolo! If he doesn't then Garapolo steps right into the role Brady stole from Drew Bledsoe.
Either way, their Division sucks!
Tannehill should be on the HOT Seat, then Alex Smith, Bortles, and maybe even Mr. Highly overpaid Flacco considering he seems to have caught the injury bug last two years. I think Dalton is secure unless he gets injured, Sam Bradford is just holding the job until Bridgewater comes back next year(if he ever comes back) and then there's Tyrod Taylor

But, who is pushing Smith? I don't see Tyler Bray pushing him. Or Mahomes.

This is fair...but then....could Smith not fit here as well....given how high Mahomes was taken?

Tannehill, yes, agree. Bortles though.....they may become so fed up with him that they may be wiling to put Chad Henne in instead. So, while no one is pressing him...he is doing a good job of pressing himself.

Fair point...but, yea, I don't see anything short of injury that would push him out.

Actually under Adam Gase Tannehill had really turned it around until the injury in game 14.

I still think this year is more or less a "prove it" year for Tannehill. Maybe having Gase is a big help for him.

They have added TEs Julius Thomas and Anthony Fasano to WRs Davante Parker, Kenny Stills and Jarvis Landry. They added WRs Carroo and Ford last year and this respectively.
More better weapons than in past years for Tannehill.

Sorta... attempts per game were lowest since his rookie season largely due to Ajayi's breakout year. Yet his INT% was his highest and his TD:INT ratio was ~1.5:1.
Definitely a mixed bag...

The fans are fed up with Smith. There will be hell to pay if he does not get better.
His personality is not likable either.
At this point in Smiths career... hes not getting better...

Don't try to confuse me with facts. I plan run for president in 2020. I spoke with the president of Mexico and he has his side of the wall just about built already. He has the invisible part so we can see the 60 lb bags of drugs coming over the top. Now that there is a mixed bag.

The knock on Smith is that he cannot throw downfield.
Mahomes is suppose to have a rocket arm and that is why KC went after him so aggressively
A rocket arm don't mean shit if you're innaccurate.. Ask Joe Montana.. winner of 4 SB's..
Nickers...."There are no old running QB's in the NFL "~Sam Rutigliano~ -
Certainly can see NYG pursuing Eli's successor... at 36 he's in the sunset years of his career.
We're heading for a real upheaval at the top of the active QB list... Brees (38.6), Rivers (35.8), Ben (35.4), Tom (40)... all likely gone by the 2020 season. Rodgers maybe a couple seasons behind...
Bomb-wise... hard for me to think of anyone as being better than Warren Moon... prettiest deep ball I've ever seen.

Eli Manning is quickly wearing out his welcome in NYC.
The Giants have added a lot of weapons and if Manning does not get NYG back in contention for a Super Bowl, I can see the franchise moving on from Eli.
Yea, no. Winning two Super Bowls gives you a lot of leeway...more than you seem willing to give.
