Mentor for our QB's

We obviously need one whether we draft Luck or not. I've thought about what kind of traits a mentor would need.

1) He should have some talent so that he could start a few games while our young QB gets the hang of the offense.

2) He should come here knowing that offering help to our young QB is his main job and that he will be the backup when the time comes to pass the torch.

3) Should be an QB that has had some measure of success but is no longer a viable every week starter.

Some QB's that might fit that criteria:

Charlie Batch

Jon Kitna

Byron Leftwich

Marc Bulger

and i hate to mention it:

Jake Delhomme

There are others that i missed but i think the backup Qb will be just as important as who starts for us next year.

God this is such a tough question to answer for:A) the boobies were extremely distracting, and very nice, and B) Great question and PantherFool and be sure to check in next time for my answer. Thanks again caller...

umm...couldn't agree more, but shouldn't you put in Kerry Collins into the qb pool? we have to think about places that are going to clean house to see if we can get any good back ups anywhere. What if Chad Pennington doesn't retire? I like Marc Bulger a lot as a possible back up.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
