They have been in need of a backup, and wanted Beathard earlier this year, but the Niners would not let him go.

Personally, I feel that Denver would be an ideal option. It would give him time to improve behind Lock. Six years as a backup, never seeing much time on the field, is still a heck of a career.

The 49ers may have hurt Beathard by not trading him.

1. Denver (They need a backup)
2. Pittsburgh (backups currently are lacking. Similar skill set to Big Ben, not as big as Big Ben)
3. Baltimore Ravens(Couldn't convert a 4th down in playoffs. Stanley's QB sneaks may be the answer in short yardage.)
4. Carolina Panthers QB whisperer Joe Brady could work with Stanley
5. New England Patriots. If Tom Brady leaves I expect them to bring in several candidates to help the team. The organization once took a chance in the late rounds on another Big Ten QB and it turned out ok.

The game speeds up every time you go up a level. I can't imagine Nate in the NFL with faster D lineman, LB's etc.

Well I guess he is just going to have to prove you wrong.

You're suggesting the Ravens draft Stanley simply to keep on the roster for QB sneaking on 4th downs?

Sorry it wasn't meant to be a legit list. I more or less threw darts at a board and justified the selection. But this in mind if the qb sneak averages 3 yards or more per carry it could be ran everytime and you wouldn't have to punt

Cowboys need a better backup and we know how much McCarthy loves him some Hawkeyes.

You have a point, but Tom Brady really was just a mediocre QB in college, but blew up in the NFL, so their is hope for Nate.

What was his major in college? I appreciate what he has given to Iowa; but, I don't think his accuracy is NFL level.

I think he will get plenty of opportunities to work on that extensively if he's not doing it now.

I've heard of the above other than Carolina. Nate will have a better interior line than he had the last two seasons.

 

[Hawkeye Marching Band]

Many teams need QBs. Bengals, Dolphins, and 'Skins would be looking (though they need other positions as much or more). Chargers and Patriots are letting their veteran starters go, Raiders aren't sure Carr is the answer any more, and several teams (Lions, Broncos, Falcons and Steelers) need backups.

That's kinda how the NFL does it; very situational. They would get rid of a very good 3rd string Linebacker for a long snapper if its a need.

 

[mtdew_fever]

I'd agree it's all a crap shoot for Stanley. I think we can all agree he will likely get drafted and have a shot to make a team's roster.

A team like Baltimore will pass on Stanley. He is much too different than their starter. It wouldn't make sense.

Saints on a mock I saw (4th round). Seems early but he would be a good fit in NO given one of Brees or Bridgewater will be there and the other gone.

Denver needs and EXPERIENCED back up. Drew Lock had a nice run but I have seen QB's have good short runs then once the DC's figure them out they struggle. I think Stanley is NFL material.

Ferentz factor and good combine push Nate up to the Vikes in the 4th

 

[steelrain]

I would love to see Stanley go to the Patriots. Become the next Tom Brady.

 

[Stormn Norman]

Stanley will end up somewhere working on getting rid of the ball a lot quicker and having better pocket presence, with that being said he definitely will get a shot and with improving upon those things might even get to play some.

I would add the Saints to that list. Brees is not getting any younger and their backup is more of a runner than a passer.

I hope he goes somewhere, but not to my Vikings.

1. Denver maybe.
2. Pittsburgh, no. They have already said in a post season presser that they are happy with Mason Rudolph as a backup to Ben. They could take a flyer on Tua if he would fall to the 2nd round due to injury concerns.
3. Baltimore, no.
4. Carolina, doubtful. They just drafted a young backup last year.
5. New England, maybe.

5th-7th round pick. Needs to perform well at the scouting combine.

 

[UNO_Hawk]

Might be the only one but would love for my Bears to take a shot on him! Would love if we got Beathard also.

I think Rudock is available. Just get all three while you're at it.

Guess what I meant was wouldn't mind if either one got brought in for some competition.

I feel that he improved on both those areas as the season went on. Part of having pocket presence is actually HAVING a pocket. Nate was dead to rights against Michigan and PSU.

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Judging by the fact that the Vikings were willing to part ways with all their athletic QBs to sign a statue behind center, I bet Minnesota will take a chance on Stanley so that if anything happens to Cousins, they won't be missing their statue at QB.

Grow out his hair, add a beard, and replace Charlie Whitehurst as "Clipboard Jesus"

 

[BigDelHawk]

I think he rises at the combine.
