Of the current backup QBs in the league...

Wtf? No Billy Volek. If our FO is going to put next season on the line with a 100 year old qb do you think they would pick a career backup or someone who was a successful starter to lead the team?

Come on. Yet people talk about the supporters of drafting a QB like their clueless morons lol.

Kolb is below average and way too expensive. I didn't see Flynn play, so i don't know. And Hanie only played what a half, and threw 2 picks? No thanks.

Again if were going to go this route and expecting to pluck a QB from another team, it has to be someone who's been a starter and hasn't poo the bed doing so.

I do think we need another QB for competetion and I cannot defend the play of Clausen,but I think some thought should be given to how Matt Moore was so much better the year before coupled with the sucess of our running game the year before versus last year.I think at least some of our demise was in the play and personal of our offensive line.We let Vincent go which I thought was huge and then lost Otah and so on and so on.Other differances in blocking was the loss of Moose and Hoover who were both good blockers

All I am saying the first thing we all do is look at the QB when everything goes to poo when we may be overlooking a big part of the problem.

I hope Moore turns out to be a good back-up, but that is all that can realistically be expected of him at this point. The reality is Moore had only 4 good games in his career. These games just happened to be at the end of the season in 2009 and everyone got hopeful (including myself). He looked as bad, if not worse than Clausen last year. He had the same deer in the headlights look and that is unacceptable for a 5th year guy.

If we go QB in the draft and it appears we are going that direction, we will have to grab a vet from somewhere to fill the void for New QB or Clausen to get up to speed. I really don't like any of the options unless Orton somehow is released (doubtful). Palmer is not going to happen and Kolb would be great but two first rounder is ridiculous. Why do people say he is bad? The Eagles throw the ball more than any team in the NFL and they traded away a top QB because they believed in Kolb.

    • I didn't say I thought throwing it was a bad decision, I said I thought not running those 3-5 yard routes to pick up the 1st down wasn't a great call.  Yes the play worked out, but I didn't love the play call, it's like when a bad shooter is taking a 3 and you're yelling "no no no" as they're going up and then they make it so it worked out. That's still gambling on them to make the play and I take no issue with that. But I just went and watched the play again, we had T-Mac and XL running downfield crossing routes, Coker went in motion behind the LOS and then moved up a yard or two after the snap but not even past the LOS, Sanders chipped the DE and then ran a drag route right long the LOS. The play worked out, but I don't really like that particular play call and route tree with the game on the line on a 4th and 2.  If you want to send one route downfield as an option that's fine, but there were only 2 realistic target options with that route tree and they were both 15-20 yards downfield.
    • If BY comes back, they 100% need to bring in legit competition.    Heres what as you are alluding too. This team can either sign Icky&Mays or BY, I do not see both without cuts/trades/etc. My vote is for Icky&Mays, draft a QB....  
    • JB shouldn’t even be a thought IMO.  Bonus if he ever matters for us.
