Stabler and Young were okay, . . . . . . . for lefties.

So was Zorn. Leinart is proving he's going to be good.

Boomer Esiason was not too bad. He is better as a studio analyst. I usually don't watch pre-game shows, but I have caught the CBS post game shows. Now that they have JB, that isn't too bad a show to watch.

we HAVE to bring in TWO QBs next offseason even if Romo is the dude
1) have to have a decent vet who will agree to play backup
2) have to spend a top draft pick, if not trade up, to get a QB that is groomable to starter. I think we should go after the top pick and get Quinn even if Romo is the dude. He can sit for a few and compete. You can always trade one of them away when you decide and recoup those draft picks you gave up to get him. and we can use the FA money to help the OL (and replace Rivera for the love of all that is good). Even if its not Quinn, Ireland needs to find a first day QB that has REAL potential to be a starter.

For the first time in a long time I have to admit that some of the ideas on this post are just beyond common sense. Guys like Simms, Plummer, Detmer and Brunell? Damn, I'd hate to go to war with these guys. They all stink and so far BP is batting about .500 on the offspring of former players. MBIII (thumbs up) Carpenter (thumbs down). And guys like Volek and Garrard are looking for starting gigs. Bleedslow will be gone and that is of his own doing. If Baker is the dude then he needs to be getting coached up now just in case something happens.

i heard from this guy, who knows this one guy who used to date this one girl whos brother dated a secretary whos brothers uncles aunts father in-law twice removed who works for a garbage company over heard that we would bring back either quincy carter or chad hutchinson as the back up

Drew Henson told you that?

I forgot he was a southpaw. Best ball fake along with DeBerg in the business.

A vet should not be that hard to find. Keep the kid baker to slowly develope. I see no need to draft another QB if Romo is the man. He is only 26; we can get atleast 6 years out of him.

How much money do you want tied up in the QB position?

well, we could go into next season with Romo, Baker, and Crayton as the depth chart for the single most important position on the field...
Would you prefer that?
If Romo is the dude and we're committed to him, then we're not going to attract anyone that still thinks they are a starter (Griese, Simms, Plummer....).
I'm not (and I don't think BP will be) comfortable going into next season with a green starter, Baker, and a rookie as the QB depth.
I'm saying we have to bring in two QBs next offseason. I don't know who it will or should be, but preferrably I think we need one vet and one groomable rookie.
How much money should be tied into the QB position? Obviously more than we have spent for the last 10 years. The position has hamstrung us severely for a decade now and I'm ready to see us have some quality options there instead of continuing to gamble on penny stocks.

What about a kid like kyle Orton? I doubt the Bears will release or trade him though. He started several games and isn't a statue like Drew.

But David Carr was benched yesterday.

Could his time in Houston be up? I think Carr still has the potential to be a good QB, but has just never had the talent/coaching/support around to allow him to develop. He's been too busy avoiding blizters his entire career.

But this is a kid that averages more than 50sacks a season and doesn't complain. He doesn't b*tch to the media about his OLine or his coaches. He just goes out there and tries.

He'd be a solid backup w/ the potential for trade bait.

I wouldnt give a 6th round for Carr.. Especially when his throwing motion is similar to my wife's..

No, Carr is still the starting QB for Houston. Kubiak once benched Young in SF because he said he needed to slow down and see what's going on. Same deal with Carr, according to reports. David Carr still has the 6th highest QB Rating in the league this season. I doubt he's going anywhere.

I agree. I hope Romo does well this year so we can trade him for a draft pick.
We need 2 solid veterans and a young development qb for the future. Romo is nice story right now, but the chances of a undrafted free agent qb being the long term answer is pretty slim. Even if he turns out to be pretty decent, we can and should do better.

Just keep counting him out. This kid will prove everyone wrong that he wont be successful in this league.

I feel like if he reaches his potential he could become a better Matt Hasselbeck/Marc Bulger

 

[Kangaroo]

Not sure of their contract status but here are some guys I would like

Kelly Holcomb
Damon Huard (But he may get a shot at a starting gig again)
Jamie Martin
Josh McCown

That is me though
