Of the current backup QBs in the league...

[davos]

Matt Flynn? seriously?!?! man i dont understand our fanbase sometimes.....whats up with all the love of scrub QBs

Its not love, I'm asking who people like out of the backup QBs in the league. A great QB can be found through other teams (and I'm not limiting the search to solely FA). I threw a name out to debate and asked people to add on others. But thanks for your smart ass remarks ;)

If we are going to get a backup vet to compete for the starting job, I want someone who was a starter and played well in the past.

With that said I would get Bulger if he was cheap. Maybe Pennington if his arm isn't shot. Obviously McNabb and Palmer are both starters who still want to start and likely won't be cheap. Couldn't go wrong with them. Honestly most of the other guys are no better than Moore really.

None

/thankyou

Kevin Kolb. In fact. Kolb is young enough and good enough to become the full time starter. I wouldn't mind drafting PP first if he got Kolb/

Andy Reid's playbook can't even get Kolb to break a 75 career QB rating

Yea, hell no to Kolb. He's worse than Moore. The amount of hype he's gotten is insane for how average he is. Just goes to show the whole "market phenomena", Matt Moore has played 1000x better than Kolb in comparable playing time and with far worse coaching and yet Moore was never hyped by the national media and Kolb's has been getting a lot of attention and hype for over a year now.

Kolb plays the wrong system to be a fit for us.

Flynn has only seen limited action, although I'd agree he looked good.

Best fit is probably Volek. He's had the most experience and has played decent, but he's up there in years. Essentially, he'd be Rodney Peete II.

I honestly can't think of one, TBH. Kolb maybe, but I'm not sold on him by any means.

[Mr. Scot]

The veterans I'd most be interested in acquiring aren't backups (namely, Palmer and Garrard) but they're also not in the greatest standing with their respective teams.

You could also throw in a name like Ryan Fitzpatrick, though he'd likely be difficult to acquire. Not necessarily impossible though.

Please! no rodney peete II.... no...

that being said, I think we should pretty much try to get Volek/palmer/gerrard no matter who we draft.

[davos]

Seriously did no one read my posts? I'm not talking about FA QBs for us, so stop mentioning Bulger and Volek!! I'm trying to see who you think (of the young backups) could become something. I'm not talking about the corpses of Bulger or Volek becoming franchise QBs at the ripe age of 35+. C'mon

Matt Moore. The guy is seriously underrated by this league and our fans. I'm not saying he's a franchise QB but I definitely think with a good oline and a running game Moore will be pretty damn good.

[paulSM]

I'm not sold on Moore, but I'm just as sold on him, and he has just as good of a track record with more to look at that Matt flynn or anybody like that.

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Not such a huge fan of Kolb. His price tag is very high, so I don't know. I mean, if they're coming down on what they want maybe but didn't they originally want 2 first rounders for him?? Uck.

But if we ignore that, he's probably got the best combination of experience and youth/potential of the backups on the market

2 first rounders? gross. If it was 1 first rounder we could trade our #1 overall to the pats for both of there 1st rounders and then trade 1 to philly for kolb. Very unlikely situation but would be pretty cool.

A guy that no one ever seems to talk about, but just always seems to produce. Shaun Hill. Maybe not the best fit for a vertical offense but better than anything we got now.
