Guys, I really don't like this. I've been super annoyed at all the panic button pressing on receiver. I think this is a more serious conversation than receiver though. However, this is not panic either since we are talking backup.
My thoughts... I just don't like where we are here. I, of course, want maybe Peyton Manning at two and Brady at three. I realize thats insane. However, I feel like I do want to have someone that could have a spark when they take over.
I wished we had someone in camp who could have fought with Johnson for the spot. This didnt happen. I don't believe we have any option but Brad this year at number two. I don't like the way he has looked (even in game 3) But I will just hope he is the journeyman bus driver the team believes he is. I just don't hold out hopes that he will be better than Garrat was for Troy. I think he is a bit below because of his floating passes.
For number three this year, I was hoping for someone who could be a solid number two for three to five years. I was hoping for a Matt Moore type situation. Young guy. Raw but a lot of skills. Dumped by some team that was doing something short sighted or ignored in his previous outing because he had a bad line.
Sims is not this person in my mind. I just felt he was an overrated loser at Texas. I remember praying that Major would be put in. I just dont think he has 'it'. And I would rather not waste any grooming opportunity on him.
I havent seen much of Bollinger but he didn't look good to me. No spark. Maybe, I am missing something that Wilson and others see. But I am left cold.
I was excited about Beck. I thought that was the type of situtaion that could be very good. I am smarting over losing him.
What I wish we would do at this point is look around and see if anyone stuffed a promising young QB on their practice squad and grab whoever that is. In the absence of that, I would like to talk to Culpepper about backup duties. Have him sign a two-three year deal. It doesn't sound like he wants a backup role. But maybe a super bowl contender might make him change his mind. I think Tony is pretty secure that we arent planning to replace him and he might not get jumpy about a move like that.
