yes, as I have said, other than the top tier guys, who would you take over him?

Brees, Brady, Peyton, Rogers, Wilson, and maybe Rivers ahead of Jay Cutler.

Who from the rest? Newton?

Responses:

I'd easily take Cam over Jay, but this isn't fantasy football. There's really no viable option for the Bears. - Shaun Jan 2, 09:22 18
- right, that is my point. They have to sign a free agent, who will likely cost them close to that money anyway. - groiny Jan 2, 09:24 12
  - My point is that I'm not sure I would have gone all in on him. 7 years with $50mil guaranteed is a helluva commitment to a dude who hasn't proven he - Jim Jan 2, 09:25 8
    - it was either this, or franchise tag him for one year, and revisit it again next season. - groiny Jan 2, 09:28 7
      - I don't know the Bears situation...like do they have someone else they need to Franchise or anything... - Jim Jan 2, 09:30 6
        
        They have over 40 million in cap space now, but have a lot of free agents, too. -- nm - Inigo Jan 2, 09:52
        
        I think the deal probably gives them some relief cap-wise next year from what franchising would have. They have a ton of players they need to sign. - pmb Jan 2, 09:39 2
        
        I am very interested on what they do with Tillman. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:53 1
        
        If they can afford him I'd sign him for 2 more years. I think he's still one of the top 5 CB's in the league, but he's got to stay healthy. -- nm - pmb Jan 2, 09:58
        
        they have some $ coming off the books this off season. - groiny Jan 2, 09:36
        
        Their punter. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 09:32
  - It's like when Eli signed his stupidly large contract a few years ago. What else were the Giants going to do? -- nm - Shaun Jan 2, 09:25 2
    - I have been FB fighting with all kinds of Bears fans today, bitching about the deal. - groiny Jan 2, 09:26 1
      - You know who wins when you FB fight? - Spawn Jan 2, 09:30
- Cam's accuracy troubles me...and I say that as Cam's biggest fan here. -- nm - David Jan 2, 09:23 4
  - I don't know...I'd like better than 62% completion...but he has intangibles that make me not worry as much about the accuracy. -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 09:33 2
    - Against the Falcons and Saints, he missed waaaaay too many open receivers. -- nm - David Jan 2, 09:34 1
      - But that's something that can be worked on and improved. You can't improve a dude's head or heart. - Jim Jan 2, 09:36
  - If I need someone to throw me a touchdown in the last minute, Cam is pretty far down my list. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:25
Hell, I'd take Big Ben, Luck, Newton, Stafford, Eli and probably RGIII -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 09:21 7
- yeah, Ben for sure, and Luck. I am iffy on the others. - groiny Jan 2, 09:23
- I forgot Ben and Stafford....I'd put Ben in the no doubt category and Stafford in the same tier with him and Flacco/Dalton. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:22 5
  - Stafford's mechanics are such a mess that I wouldn't put him in the top 20. - David Jan 2, 09:24 4
    - It's easy to say that, but even taking out the Megatron yardage, he's still a 3500yd passer - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:26 3
      - That's the problem with empty passing yardage. It looks good on paper. - David Jan 2, 09:32
      - how much of those 3500 yards are mop up yards when they are chasing the score in the final quarter? -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:27 1
        
        A solid amount, but even then, you have to make throws. - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:31
Honestly, I'd put him in the 12-15 range - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:20 3
- taking age out of the equation, based on this season and prior, no way RG3 belongs higher than Cutler. - groiny Jan 2, 09:22 2
  - I'm not grading on just this year alone...I'm grading on quarterbacking talent - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:25 1
    - conversations like this is when I wish the sports sites were not blocked for me. - groiny Jan 2, 09:29
