VABills Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 But, with a seasoned veteran this is going to be much easier. I'd like to see them get someone as early as possible. But, what is wrong with holding out a few months to save a few bucks, having Shane be the number 2 until then and then in May or June seeing what is left on the cheap for veterans. 238371[/snapback] Unless Shane decides to unretire it's not a possibility. He has already said he is retiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
col_forbin Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 Travis Brown? 238357[/snapback] Here, Here. Although he might would be a better choice for #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Here, Here. Although he might would be a better choice for #3. 238378[/snapback] Typically your #3 QB is a developmont project for the future. What future does Travis Brown have? He has been here for the last 50 training camps and never showed squat. Turn the page on DB and Travis too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Ray Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I know this wont be a popular choice here, but I wouldn't mind seeing Jay Fiedler picked up as #2. Here's why - 1) He's a veteran QB, with experience in the AFC East. 2) I think at this point he knows he's not going to be starter, so may be conducive to a backup role. 3) He's not strong-armed, but he knows how to manage a game (and he's an ivy-leaguer - thats gotta count for something ). 4) He's mobile enough. He's no Vick, but he's certainly no Drew either. 5) He's likely gonna get cut, and will probably get little to no interest, so he may come cheap. If not him, then maybe a Charlie Batch (familiarity with MM's system, starting experience, mobile and strong arm). My 2 pennies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_wag Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Brad Johnson will turn 37 the 2nd week in September. I am pretty sure he realizes his starting days are over except in the case where an injury occurs. 238370[/snapback] it has been widely rumoured that ARZ will have interest in johnson when he is released.........think about it, which situation is more appealing to him??......they can offer him a chance to start and it will reunite him with denny green (who he played for in MIN).........we would offer him no chance to start and likely less money....... i don't think it would be a tough decision for him at all.......

LabattBlue Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 What good would a develpmont project do with a second year QB?? 238395[/snapback] Losman #1 Experienced vet QB #2 Rookie or 1st or 2nd year QB #3 You never know when you may find a diamond in the rough. Maybe he turns out to be decent enough to step into the #2 role in a year or two. I would rather do that then bring back Travis Brown for another training camp.

CoachChuckDickerson Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I wouldn't mind an experienced vet coming it as backup. It is in my opinion something that NEEDS to happen. With that said however I do not want a guy in here who has been a successful starter in the past. YOU ALL KNOW fans will start screaming for a change is JP puts together a couple of rough games, which he will. QB controversy is bad enough without a guy who has a ring, B Johnson or Warner on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer the guy who had career 4-7 marks at Tulane, than someone who has a super bowl ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a Charlie Batch or a Shane Matthews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
