NFC North

[MU B2002]

I have been trying to come up with a list of what "solid" back up QBs are out there.

Let's break it down by division.  (Feel free to interject)

NFC North
GB - Brohm (Maybe, but unproven at best)
Min - None
Chi - None (Bad Rex would outweigh good Rex)
Det - None

NFC East
NYG - Carr  (Serviceable)
PHI - Kolb (although McNabb may be more readily available)
Dal - None
Was - None

NFC South
Tampa - Griese (Too old)
Carolina - None
New Orl. - None (Harrington woud be a stretch)
Atlanta - ??

NFC West
SF - None
ARI - LI have a toothachert
Sea - None
Stl - Non


AFC North
Pittsburg - Leftwich (serviceable)
Baltimore - Boller (If healthy)
CLE - Anderson (depending on how bad the knee is)
CIN - None

AFC South
IND - None
TEN - Vince Y. (Insiders have him on his way out with Simms claiming the #2)
Jax - None
Hou - Sage?

AFC East
NE - Cassell (If not franchised due to Brady's slow recovery)
NYJ - None
Mia - None
Buf - Edwards and Losman both see to be destined to be career backups.

AFC West
SD - Volek
Oak - None
Den - Patrick Ramsey
KC - None.



After this I would say for QBs that Detroit could maybe get...

1. Cassell
2. Derek Anderson
3. Edwards, Losman, Ramsey some mid level guy like that and then spend a late pick on a QB to develop.



Like I said, no expert opinions, just boredom.

right, and the idea is that you do 'open auditions' for the position and make a decision by the last preseason game, and run the game like you would a regular season game...

tell your fans this is a band-aid for a bigger wound, and that hopefully we can develop someone and bring them along slowly like other SUCCESSFUL teams do.

Personally, I'd like to see them give LI have a toothachert, Carr, or Ramsey a shot.

Carr never had a line to block for him and was just beaten up while he was in Houston... give the guy a line and see what happens.

It always blows my mind when teams spend top dollar on running backs or linebackers when you can find guys anywhere to play those positions.

if I were a GM, my top money priorities would go to DTs, DBs, QBs, and then O lineman.

A good offensive line can make a mediocre QB look great.

I would like to add Jake Delhomme to my list of possible quarterbacks available this off season.  I am sure he will be skipping his birthday next year.

So rex grossman has been to a superbowl as a starter and he isn't as good as brohm?  homer garbage.

Matt Cassle will be franchised by the pats so he won't be availble until they are sure brady will be back and healthy.

Thanks. I am a Bears fan. 


When I did that weak little analysis I couldn't really see anyone other than Chicago taking a chance on Rex.  I just figured he would sign another one year deal and be back in the windy city. I just don't know anything about Brohm so I put him on there, and it probably was an error.  I also neglected to put Jeff Garcia on there and he is a free agent, and made about 12 other errors with people I omitted.  Sorry, I guess that's why I don't do this for a career. Also, my write up was done before they franchised Cassel.
