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.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
