I love what Bledsoe is doing, and I'm a huge Henson fan, and I like ROmo alot

but...

I hear the talk about trading a pick for Phillip Rivers, trading up to acquire Leinart, taking Jay Cutler with our 1st round pick etc. etc.

now, what I haven't seen suggested at all, is Jax QB David Garrard, so, how do you guys feel about him? he's 3-1 as a starter since taking over for Leftwich this year, and is playing pretty well, just a thought...

disclaimer: again, I love what Bledsoe is doing, and he should play out his contract, I'm a huge Henson fan, and I like Romo

at least he's serviceable, has talent, and has shown that he can win games in the NFL, the rest of the names I'm hearing, haven't proven a thing, and don't have more talent than Garrard, dude can toss a football 60 yards off his back foot

It is intriguing that a lot of teams that will be at the top of the draft have money investited in QB'S already (i.e., Houston, Greenbay, Detriot, Buffalo,etc). It is possible we could trade up to aguirre one of these "franchise Qbs" for a 2nd or 3rd round draft choice.

Me too, I would love to get a young QB in this years draft, but I dont think Parcells will do that. Wouldnt mind Rivers although they probably want too much.

garrard is alright, but I don't know if he would leave Jax.

I'm rooting for Jay Cutler to come in and groom under Bledsoe.

Parcells used to coach at Vanderbilt....so it's possible.

Henson isn't going anywhere, because he's Jones' pick. If we get Cutler, I really think Romo would be the odd man out.

I've got my QB Thoughts........

Brett Favre is great.

We could have drafted Rex Grossman in 2003.:mad:

We won't be drafting a QB early.
Outside of that not sure we make any moves at all.

BP loves Drew and Jerry has grown pretty fond of him as well noting his play is we have been so improved over last year.

Henson and Romo have enough potential that QB is way down the list for draft needs.

We need OL, LB, FS, WR.

If some of the highly valued QBs are still available, I hope the Braintrust at least takes a look.

Why would we need another reciever? Maybe some 5th round steal for a #4 WR other than that I dont see why we need another WR. Whats wrong with the ones we have now?

WR is the least of our needs. OL needs to be addressed some how along with the linebackers.

Garrard Is an overrated backup, as in, every year, you hear somehow he outplayed or performed better in TC than Leftwitch. But as soon as he hits the Playing field on Sundays when the games count, he is a barely average QB. I just would love to know who the heck are these idiot scouts who think he had better TC than Leftwhich.

He is what he is, a good backup to have, probably a Quincy Carter without the head case issues or drug issues. Thats why he didn't get even a decent offer when he was FA this year I believe or from what I read. And thats why he signed with Jax in offseason.

Rivers may be the only shot at getting a 1st rounder type qb in the next year or 2, but I don't think he's the QB of the future here or anywhere.

I'd put all my eggs in the offensive line basket this offseason. This team has depth at RB, and a very good pocket passer who can play near the top of his game for a year or two. The defense is gelling. Not sure what the free agency situation is, but the missing link to a VERY good team(SB caliber) is depth and experience at OL(and a little more experiece for the Defense. I'd trade a good pick or 2 for a solid OL veteran and perhaps draft for a speedster receiver in the middle rounds to help Glenn stretch the field. Other than that, I'd go "best available athlete."

In 2007, I'd plan on pulling a ditka-esque (sell your soul for Ricky Williams) deal to get Brady Quinn. He is the successor to Drew Bledsoe in 2008 or so.

Jay Cutler is the pick if he's still there when we pick.

I live in Nashville and have seen Cutler play several times. The guy is a star waiting to happen. I had high hopes for Henson and I think Romo will be a good back up. But I would cut the ties with Henson at this point and go with a known quantity. Cutler is the guy.

You have to be kidding.

With BP going into the last year of his contract (assuming he doesn't sign an extension) I don't see any way we trade for or draft a QB early.

Romo and Henson need a address in Europe this spring.

I would trade Henson and try and get a third rounder for him if Cutler is on the board. I think passing on him would be a huge mistake. He needs 2 years of grooming and he would be ready to go. Perfect fit for us and Bledsoe.
