_______________ for quarter back! (fill in the blank)

Good point there TheMan1. What actually seems available.
First off, Brett Ratliff should be signed as our prime backup QB, so he shouldn´t be on the list.
Then, although I think Jason Campbell has great potential, he belongs with the Redskins, so that´s not a possibility.
Also, at the threat of ridicule, you all know I like Jared Zabransky, who is not on the list. So that factors in. So does Chris Pizzotti from Harvard, who has found a slot on the Packers depth chart.
I also believe, that you can procur players that are under contract under certain conditions, so I´ll leave that unknown up to speculation.
But then we can get into it, and my list of preferences goes:
1.Chad Pennington (this one caught me by surprise, the Dolphins shouldn´t leave him dangling)
2.David Carr
3.Rex Grossman

Any one of those is possible.

The question is, how do we convince the Colts to go for this? Maybe we can tell them that Cribbs will run back every kick for a touchdown so they won’t need a quarterback any more. Do you think they’ll believe us?

By the way, Manning should be insulted that it only took Cribbs to get him in a trade but it took Cribbs and Rogers to get Drew Brees. How many MVP’s has Brees won?

 ,Never happen that’s why i passed and voted for Cribbs

OMG BEST TRADE EVAHHHHHHHHHHHHH LOL!!!!

I am assuming this is a joke…

What kind of poll is this?

Look at the four options listed; I think it’s obvious what kind of poll this is.

Its a completely serious poll, supposed to be taken seriously. these are the only options for the team obviously,

this pole seems like a joke to me but i think the Ravens have stated that they will never ever trade Troy Smith away simply on the fact that we might end up with him.

I will take McNabb.

Joey Harrington.

…Naw, really?

Did you just make that comment so you could use your “sitting on the Couch” joke?

Ohhhhhhhhhhh… I see what you did there. You used his last name, which is also a type of furniture, to make the inference that he is no longer playing in the NFL, while one of the 200+ players selected below him is. I have not heard that one before, and immediately recommend you seek a position writing punchlines for a late-night talk show.

I read this very quickly and thought it said Mike Phelps for quaterback. While Phelps has the height at 6’4", I think I’d prefer LeBron ;)

probably would create less turnovers.

(Otto Graham’s corpse, of course).

flagged for promoting the desecration of Otto’s grave.

I rec any picture of Alex Mack.

Darn, you know what. Based on this picture I change my mind. He´s not a Guard, he´s a Nose Guard. Anyone?

He just needs the supporting cast around him.

To do what exactly? Be mediocre? You don’t think he’s a Reggie Wayne away from Peyton Manning, do you? Or even just a Steve Smith away from Eli?

Surround Quinn with an excellent supporting cast and you still have a middling quarterback. He’s part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Here’s a list of QBs who were more effective than Quinn this year:

Chad Henne
Marc Bulger
Bruce Gradkowski
Vince Young
Chris Redman
Seneca Wallace
Daunte Culpepper

I’m serious.

rec…

that reminds me of a video on collegehumor.com where it was all kinds of stuff that didn’t live up to the hype and the what if’s (PT Cruisers, Segway, new coke, surge, crystal pepsi, howard dean, XFL, reuben studdard, brain damage from cell phones, etc…)

Ok.

Brett Favre?

/no sarc

Technically it was more like 18 touchdowns but it was pretty darn good.

Here is a scouting report from arrowhead pride (originally copied off of nfl draft scout)
    * Very good at improvising on the football field
    * Has developed quick load and reload ability
    * Excels at eluding pressure in the pocket, showing the keen field vision and awareness to avoid the rush and is a dangerous open-field runner when flushed
    * Rhythm passer who might be able to throw the deep crossers, but is better served staying away from throwing the long ball
    * Has decent acceleration heading up field, but is best when changing direction sharply while maintaining balance throughout his run

    * Has to work on his release and delivery, as he stands on his toes in the pocket
    * Tends to force his passes into traffic and needs to show better judgment
    * Seems to lack the ability to locate his secondary receivers, zeroing in on his primary targets too long
    * Will force the ball into traffic rather than throwing it away
    * Most of his sacks come when he fails to locate his receiver and finds himself standing right in the path of the edge rusher

He also has good zip on the ball. granted, he does have some negatives similar to DA (bad judgement, forcing the ball) but I think he might end up being better when he gets a shot. He also is very mobile, while anderson was a statue.

I also worry that like with anderson, he did worse later on in the season (which means defenses were figuring them out). this did happen with thigpen and he might have lost a close game against the dolphins, giving them their only win, but he rebounded against a decent bengals team. He did have some of the problems near the end of the year that DA did but not nearly as bad.

However, thigpen was much more consistent. out of the 12 games he took a significant part in, only 2 he had a QB rating under 60 (his first PT in the NFL, and then his first start the next wk). he had 2 starts in the 60s passer rating (the one against Miami and one game with a 68 against the titans D that was spectacular that yr). he had less superstar games, but also less bad games than DA. DA even when he was good was a bipolar QB. these are his first 5 starts (in QB rating): 121, 57, 109.5, 59, 142.5 (all over the place). here is thigpen (after his first career start, the next 5…) 110.9, 89.4, 108.4, 76.1, 85.4…much more consistency.

I truly like this move. I like thigpen and with a little time, I think he could be a good QB. he definitely still has some problems, but some are the type that just come with experience and confidence. I also like his mobility and he was even a better rusher in 2008 than their draft pick jamaal charles (higher ypc AND more yards…wow…and he also had a receiving TD). DA also had a lot more time to throw and much better protection (thigpen is mobile but was sacked 29 times. DA is a statue but was sacked 14 times…there was definitely a discrepancy in the lines). he also had to throw on the run a lot.

I think that year he was a better QB than DA and he was on a much worse team. put him on the browns and I think he outperforms DA that year…

Imagine where he would have been drafted if he was 6’6 and had DAs arm, and went to Oregon State. DA was a big guy with a big arm, at a major college. thigpen was from a small college, was 6’1 (short by scouts standards for a QB), had a good arm but not Andersons. take away the arm issue, thigpen in the Pac 10 with 3-4 more inches and He is probably a 4th rounder…it is uncommon for D1-AA guys to be drafted period.
