I agree with Zombo. A choice between DA and Weeden is an easy one.

How did we end up using a 1st round pick on Weeden? Thank goodness we have a new regime in charge.

I'm wondering what time Mik started drinking this morning.

Maybe he's celebrating Fat Tuesday or maybe he's on a bender.

God, I love benders.

Well, I'm in the midst of a bender that has been raging late. I fucking love benders!!!

Possibly true. Nevertheless you don't want to see your QB missing open receivers. Especially on short passes that are necessary to make a first down and keep drives alive. We used to have a QB that seemed to constantly come up short that way. Can't recall who exactly. I think his nickname was "The Prosecutor".

He relieved an injured Charlie Frye and we won an exciting game against KC.

Then he started against Pittsburgh and Baltimore, games we lost, but he played OK.

Then he had a horrid performance in a loss to a bad Tampa Bay team before Frye came back for the finale.

The next year Romeo did his infamous "coin flip" while trying to choose between Frye and Anderson while all the school girls got excited over training camp holdout Brady Quinn.

Then Frye shit the bed in the opener and Anderson had that good season under Chud.

Then he pretty much shit the bed the rest of his career. With the exception of the MNF game against the Giants in 08.

And then Quinn shit the bed.

Which begat Delhommo, McCoy and Weeden who have all had their share of bed shitting days.

Stop the shitting of the sheets.

Why not post his 2006 stats as his first year?

I posted the stats of the first year that each of these persons became a primary starter in the NFL.

I don't recall if DA first year as a starter was 2006 or 2007.

I didn't look him up because, unlike the others he is not a Hall of Fame candidate or championship caliber QB, and he was not drafted in the last 2 years.

That was DA's best year. I did not use the best year for any of these guys per se, though, obviously for some like the rookies that was their best year because it was their only year.

How many passes did he throw last year?

4 lol.

Doesn't fit the argument.

Besides which...saying "he's played for Chud the last 5 years" is a bit of a stretch. How many passes did he throw last year?

i don't get the thread.

are you saying the people on the list are available and for that price or are you saying there are people out there equal to those at that price?

i mean i don't think tom brady is up for auction.

You are taking the title of the thread too literally. Obviously John Elway and Troy Aikman are not available (or, maybe they are?). I was simply comparing the stats of all these people in their first year of starting in the NFL to Weeden.
