Volek not likely an option

Though I understood the logic behind bringing in a vet that would be familiar with the new offensive direction, I never understood the clamoring for Volek. He's a 35 year old backup QB that has never been more than average. He's not necessarily someone I'd want mentoring our young QBs.

does this mean we're sticking with moore as our veteran QB or we just aren't going after volek?

I don't consider Moore a vet.....not in the defintion of what you want when you have a young roster at QB. Moore is still a young QB.

Remember when everyone was talking about Volek being a good fit because of his familiarity with the system and Rivera? Someone pointed out that this only made sense if Rivera liked him (maybe Scott, IDR).

This report tells me that the answer was "no", Rivera doesn't like him.

I actually really like Volek. The Chargers staff managed to get their defense + Volek + Sproles to defeat Manning's Colts in a playoff game after Rivers and LDT both got hurt. Volek's body of work is by no means terrible. He's probably one of the best backups in the league, and considering we had what many would consider the worst starter in the league last year, I think that'd make Volek better than Clausen + St. Pierre + Moore...

"League source" all too often winds up being someone's agent, so I don't know how seriously I'd take this.

He might be right, but Reed is the guy who posted a big column explaining why there was absolutely no chance of the Panthers picking up Keyshawn Johnson about 24 hours before they signed him.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
