The 2021 QB Effect

Even with the Super Bowl a few days away, some wonder who is going to land with a team at quarterback. That will be on many people's minds after the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams made a swap of their signal callers. Matthew Stafford goes to California for the sun and Clayton Kershaw. Jared Goff goes to a dysfunctional franchise that hasn't won a playoff game in almost 30 years and only been in it eight times since 1991. Who's the next domino to fall?

Carson Wentz and Deshaun Watson are guys who want to leave their teams. Amidst new coaching in Philadelphia, the relationship with Wentz may be beyond repair. But someone has to be desperate. Maybe San Francisco? I can't imagine having that much faith left in Jimmy Garoppolo. And I read something that Garoppolo could go back to New England, who really needs a signal caller. Watson obviously does not like the culture in Houston. The potential of another swap could be with Las Vegas and Derek Carr. I'm assuming Jon Gruden doesn't like Carr. Both him and Watson have prime years ahead of them. The uptick of Vegas is Josh Jacobs being a strong back, though the DUI at the end of the year, I don't know.

A big thing recently was rumors of Andrew Luck returning. All because of some alleged texts. Stuff involving people that are friends with his wife and talking about him missing football and Jimmy (assuming Indianapolis Colt owner Jim Isray). Luck retired because of health reasons. Why would he want to return? Married and has a kid. Works in architecture. The Colts will find somebody. Just a matter of when. New Orleans wants to keep Jameis Winston. Likely a precaution depending on Drew Brees. 

Other notable people include Matt Ryan and Cam Newton. Ryan has potential to leave Atlanta, but their owner believes he will be back along with Julio Jones. Supposedly, Ron Rivera may want Newton to be with him in Washington. It's a different ball game compared to Carolina. A lot can happen over the next month or two. Someone is going to get themselves set for a Super Bowl run down the road.
