With all the QB movements around the league, thought it'd be interesting to hear who we think has the best chance for success in their new home or new full-time starting role?
For conversations sake, who do you also see as the biggest mistake by a GM?
Is there a situation where Jordan Love or Jimmy Garoppolo get traded to the right team and become the favorite? Explain.
Also, if you feel a rating more relatable to trade/contract cost should weigh heavily in the measurement of success, by all means state your case.
*I took the liberty of assuming Winston as the full-time starter (minus Hill) in New Orleans, and Lance will start in San Francisco. Also, Mills was added as Houston's new presumed full-time starter.

Hackett will revive Russ Wilson in Denver imo. Great spot for both parties to succeed.

I picked Ryan, but its close between him and Wilson. Wilson's got the better group to work with right now admittedly.

I went with Ryan because Wilson has significant pressure to be the "franchise savior", and he's got a first-time head coach.
Ryan just has to be slightly better than Wentz and, in theory, they're in the playoffs.

None of them. 
I lean Wilson as seeing the greatest success. That defense and running game will keep the pressure off him but when they need him, I think he has the weapons to score.
From a cost/performance perspective, I think Trubisky might end up to be the best value signing. He has the tools. Maybe a year learning from a similar style QB while sitting in Buffalo did him some good. I’m quietly rooting for him.
I’ve started questioning Matt Ryan as a quality QB a few years now. He just doesn’t seem to have it any longer. The dude still makes rookie level mistakes from time to time also. If the Colts are expecting a Matt Stafford type impact, they’re gonna be rudely surprised.
I honestly don’t get the Browns. All that money, cap, and fan heat for a QB on a run-first team. The only thing I can figure is it’s more of the Jimmy Haslem stir-the-fanbase-and-make-money nonsense. They could have saved themselves a lot of money and trouble by just offering a 4th for Garoppolo.
Speaking of Garoppolo, I’m beginning to think the 49ers may be in the same spot the Packers find themselves with Love. They basically put a succession plan in place last year but I get the sense Lance just isn’t ready. With the radio silence on Garoppolo, I’m beginning to think they may ride him for another season with the hope Lance comes around.

I will predict only one of them will make the playoffs. Which one? Don't know. But If I had to put money on it, Ryan.
The cynical counter-argument is maybe AR saw DA’s imminent departure as leverage to squeeze the organization for yet another larger, record-setting piece of the Packers cap share. One less superstar on the roster means a larger slice of pie for the remaining bigs.
