tonyjustbcuz Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Kyle Orton, Denver Broncos (27)Jason Campbell, Washington Redskins (28) Chad Pennington, Miami Dolphins (34) Tarvaris Jackson, Minnesota Vikings (27) Kellen Clemens, New York Jets (27) Troy Smith, Baltimore Ravens (26) – Restricted FA Other than possible Chad Pennington and his super weak arm I think any of these guys would be an upgrade for us. A good number of them come with some mobility which could help them running for their lives behind our current offensive line. Personally, I think I am leaning towards Troy Smith with Kellen Clemens and Travaris Jackson tied as close seconds. Yes, I was leaning towards Troy Smith before Donte started campaigning for him. Other than some ridiculously bad luck 2 years ago Troy was going to be the Ravens starter. Unfortunately for him Flacco was a higher draft pick, manned the wheel while his team won a few games and had that prototypical QB size coaches swoon over. Geez! I don't know...I really am not impressed with any of those options! Find me a Warner, Bulger, Garcia, McNabb, or someone that is okay to good that has been battle tested. Draft in the 1st round your QB of the future and sign someone like the QB's I mentioned for two years who can start, and mentor the young QB while we hopefully improve our offensive line and give them two years to gel ! Those QB's are just examples and I'm sure some or all of them may not be available..but someone along those lines that is on the downside of their career. I don't like C. Pennington but he normally wins a fair share of games as I believe his accuracy is pretty good? maybe as a last resort...but I hope they dump Trent Edwards regardless of there QB situation !!

Cash Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 If Smith gets tendered at the lowest level, it would cost a 5th to sign him (assuming the Ravens don't match). I'd be fine with that. I wouldn't mind Campbell either, but the lowest tender means a #1 is the compensation. Yikes.
