He doesn't extend plays so he'd be a waste here in Dallas imo.

Our backup needs to make plays outside of Jason Garrett's system or they will fail.

It's a reminder that Dallas really did make a hard effort last year to secure decent backups.
The problem is that only about 1/2 to 2/3 of NFL teams even have decent-to-good starters, so having a decent backup is even more difficult.

Anyway
The Titans signed Matt Cassell so felt Mettenberger was expendable.
The Texans signed Brandon Weeden and decided to keep him this year over several others.

Yeah but I think he's subject to waivers and the choice isn't his yet.

But we should be 4th on that list and really 3rd. Tennessee obviously doesn't want him so that really leaves Cleveland and San Diego.

This guy is 0 - 10 as a starter or in relief. Why rummage around in someone else's trash bin.
He might could beat out Moore but, what have you got really. Just another Weeden who
can't function in Garrett's offense. Stick with what we have and hope like heck Romo
can stay healthy this year?

Would take him as a camp arm at worst.

I imagine he might want to go to a team that he thinks he might have a chance at starter...even if that is unrealistic.

Oh, he will.

Tebow still thinks he's starting caliber.................

If he is better than Moore, that makes him an upgrade. The last time I checked, that is a good thing.

The Titans are 5 and 27 the last two years...hard to pin that on just the QB.

I'd pounce immediately. Let's see who claims him?

We definitely agree on this. And this actually would work out exactly the way I'd hope. I still very much like Prescott, as I watched him play every weekend..the kid has talent and if given a chance to develope could be atleast a very good back-up. But I believe Mettenberger is on par, talent wise, as most of the guys mentioned in this years draft. Let him and Prescott sit behind Romo and learn. We would be in great shape at back-up QB. And this still wouldn't stop us from drafting a guy next year if the coaches don't see progressive development. I say, do it. Dak and Zach!!

Hmmm... In my Mickey Spagnola voice "If the guy is any good why did the Titans release him"?????

Wouldn't hurt to claim him.

But I think the staff feels ok with just Moore and Prescott.
