Good quarterbacks to trade for to be a stopgap starter

[Bamafanforlife]

So i'm starting a new chiefs connected career, and I can't deal with Cassell. Anyone have a suggestion of a starter I could get cheap (trade or FA) to start until the draft rolls around?

Alex Smith.

Jake Locker shouldnt take too much to get and he can develop into one of the top QBs in the game in my opinion.

Pocket Passer - Matt Hasselback
Mobile - I agree with Josh Johnson

If you're going to draft a QB early in the draft, I recommend that you stay away from players with relativly big contracts. That include guys like Alex Smith, Matt Flynn, Kevin Kolb, etc. Here are som options I do recommend though:

Jason Campbell: Would be cheap, and his contract runs out after the first season. Good size and arm strength.
Tarvaris Jackson: Athletic with ok accuracy. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing he is more accurate than Cassell. I had him as my backup QB with the Chargers, and he did really well when Rivers was out injured a couple of weeks in season 2.
Derek Anderson: Really strong arm, and would probably only cost a 5th or 6th round pick. Once a pro bowler, now a backup in Carolina. A huge pluss is that his contract runs out after the first season.

If Donovan McNabb and David Garrard are still in the game, those would probably be solid free agents.

Ryan Mallett just broke the passing td record for me after I traded Brady away in my 3rd year online connected franchise and has a solid 122 passer rating going into my last game.

Matt Flynn!
He should be easy to take from the Seahawks, due to the rise of Russell Wilson.

Sim the first season, then just hope you had a bad record and draft a QB

I took Chandler Harnish from the Colts, he's much better than his rating indicates. I finished my first season with him with 35+ touchdowns. He's 80 OVR and 29 in my current CCM, pretty good considering he starts at 65 or so.

I just go with Kirk cousins and forget drafting one. Going into the 3rd year and starting or me the first two he's around 93 in all passing categories.
