    He's great in the lockerroom and a helluva leader. why would we get rid of him? What happens if RG3 is killed and then Kessler gets banged up? Will we bring back Spergon Wynn to QB us to the playoffs?

    I'd trade him for the highest draft pick we can get from any of hte possible QB needy teams. If RGIII and Kessler go down, who cares who plays QB, the season probably isn't going anywhere anyways. It can be argued the season is going to be shitty anyways so why not trade a player that has some value while the opportunity is there.

  • My understanding is that all of the following QBs are still out there, available to be signed:

    Tavaris Jackson

    Jimmy Clausen

    Matt Flynn

    Josh Freeman

    Bruce Gradkowski

    Chad Henne

    Ryan Lindley

    Matt McGloin

    Michael Vick

    Charlie Whitehurst

    TJ Yates

    Now, yes, this seems to be a pile of doggie doodoo (Michael Vick pun intended), no one can say that Josh McCown has a much more stellar record than this bunch. Why would not someone who needs a veteran backup QB just not grab one of these guys off the street rather than trade a draft pick for McCown?

    McCown isn't going to the hall of fame or anything....but he's light years better than everyone on that list.

    His career win pct. record as a starting QB would argue otherwise. But for right here, right now, you may be right.

    Terminating Davis' contract would seem to end any thought of trading McC...

    No biggee, but Matt is currently the Raiders back up...

    Maybe Dallas will be desperate enough to give JFF a chance 😉

    You forgot IIRC, Johnny Boy is suspended for the first 4 games- darn that substance abuse thing. So he'd be of no use to Dallas, at least in the short term. He's been keeping a mighty low profile of late. 🙂

    I figured that a couple of those guys may have been signed.

    I don't care about his career win pct. That's a convenient stat to use because his isn't very good. But based on what I saw with my own eyes last season, he's a better player than all of the guys on that list at this point, and he's a better teammate than most of them as well.

    Well, you are right....I don't think I would trade any of them for him at this point.
