boyst Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) This is not a doom and gloom thread, nor is it a cut Kolb and sign "this guy" thread. This is a thread looking at options should Kolb's injury be serious. And, personally, I believe this guy might need to hang it up to avoid long term damage to his dome. Again, this is a thread about which option might be the best to head in to week 1 having on the roster with an injured Kolb and Manuel. http://www.nfl.com/freeagency you have to do some clicking, but you can see two pages of free agent QB's available now. There will shirley be more after Tuesday. The current list of FA QB's includes: Charlie Batch Jerrod Johnson Byron Leftwich Matt Leinert Alex Tanney Tyler Thigpen John Parker Wilson TJ Yates Graham Harrel JP Losman JaMarcus Russell John Beck The current list of QB's likely to be released includes: (I will update this as they become available or mentioned) I would have to think that Charlie Batch is the clear cut leader to bring on this team. Oh, and Barbarian, Skelton is in Cinci, we could trade Byrd for Skelton? edit: for spelling Breaking: Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo 5m Following today's injury to Kevin Kolb, the Bills will work out free-agent QBs Matt Leinart and John Beck, per source Expand Edited August 25, 2013 by jboyst62
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 I don't really want to see Batch in games, but I would love to have him as a 3rd QB / extra QB coach. He is obviously a smart guy to have survived this long in the league without having starter's chops anymore, and Pittsburgh has a pretty good culture.
Matt in KC Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Is JP Losman a free agent? **ducks and runs**
Chilly Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 TJ Yates isn't a free agent - he's the backup in Houston

WellDressed Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Right now Graham Harrell is Rodgers backup in GB.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Right now Graham Harrell is Rodgers backup in GB. However there's a chance that Vince Young wins the job as the Green Bay backup. On the Vince Young subject, is it just me or did it seem like Nix wanted Young but Gailey preferred Tyler Thigpen? We know Nix liked Cam Newton, signed Vince Young, and drafted EJ. Seems like Vince fit Buddy's profile.
BobChalmers Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Feel free to mock me for this, but a young JP Losman could win with this team/coaching staff.
T master Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Right now Graham Harrell is Rodgers backup in GB. Not any more & we tried to pick him up last year so why not bring him in for a try out too ???
bowery4 Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Batch would be a better back up then Kolb IMO, I also like who the stillers have backing up the rapist now, wish we had scooped him up.
