Now we had better hope that rex doesnt get hurt because i dont think that there are too many free agent QBs left

yeah angelo figures that hutch could probably do just as well as him - we will find someone for a bargain. maybe we can still find space for polley now.

Flutie, Jeff Blake...and still Jeff George out there. Pick your poison.

Question why did we not bring Jeff George back?

could still happen i guess - we want someone for a bargain so he might be the man.

Either Flutie or George is fine by me... as long as they can still throw. We don't need a mentor, we need someone that can pull out a win or two if Grossman gets hurt. It would be a fluke to have Grossman out for the year again, but I can see him missing a game or two due to injury - QBs take some nasty shots.

I think that bringing back Kordell Stewart or Happy Feet Henry (Burris), would be an upgrade over weak armed Craig Krenzel.

Minnesota can have Johnson; he's just a younger version of Chris "Oh My Achin' Head" Chadler (who by the way is available too).

Hey, here's a tought! What's Small Hands Shane (Matthews), doing these days? Still rotting on the bench in Cincinnati?

I heard Flutie doesn't want to move again, so it looks like Blake or George or maybe Quincy Carter.

I think the Viqueens signed him just to [inappropriate/removed] us off!
I think in a better offense Hutch is plenty good enough to back up Grossman for a game or 2, he does have alot more game EXP and he will be behind a much better line and on a running team.
It wasent our Rookie QB's killing us last year it was that idiot telling them to take 7 step drops and not calling proper blocking for the play.

The blocking for any play ultimately lays on Olin's shoulders... he makes the calls. I really think that the fact that we had merri-go-round offensive line is the problem. We needed health and another veteran lineman.... and we have both now.

P.S. - could still use a better right guard!! LOL

What about Vinny Testeverde or Mike McMahon?

I know they sound like awful choices, but given our situation, they don't look so bad.

mcmahon is already with the eagles but man i would rather have jeff george over testeverde.

Paper said today that Carter is being treated for bipolar disorder... we need that like we need another crazy Zo. Bears released George for a reason; if they wanted him, they had him. Blake is just a guy; I'd rather wait to see if Cincinnati releases Shane Matthews. Matthews has a ton of backup experience and would fit in nicely (again)
