Clackwoods Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Well, We have lost our boy Fitzpatrick to the Bills.http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9270512...y-blog?MSNHPHMAWhat are our options at quarterback? I want to know if Jordan is good enough to step up and take over if Carson gets hurt again. I wouldn't mind promoting him to backup and bringing in a sixth or seventh rounder as the third stringer! Pat White in the third anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spor_tees Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Gus Ferrotte is now available. Actually I see the best fit being....wait for it...Rex Grossman. The guy has had no chance in Chicago with a bad set of receivers and up until this year a weak running game. Grossman has enough of an arm, and enough maneuverability that I think he would make a fine backup to Carson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baraka Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 we have enough to worry about without spending a third round pick on pat white. but it would make for interesting wild cat formations. i've been hearing a lot about patrick ramsey, he seems semi-capable and cheap. grossman probably wants to compete for a starting gig, and would ask for too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 If they're going to sign Ramsey, or someone of that caliber, not sure why they didn't just keep Fitz, but whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurgan74 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I know it won't happen, but Byron Leftwich is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Depending on the average dollars per year, this could net us as high as a r6 comp pick. More likely a r7 pick, but then again, QBs do tend to be paid on a higher scae than most other playersI was hoping he'd stay - I will bet they will sign a scrub veteran QB toward the tail end of the FA period on the cheap.

I am guessing they sign an undrafted QB and maybe bring in a veteran like Brad Johnson, Gus Ferrotte, or Charlie Batch.Personally I would prefer a Rex Grossman or J.P. Losman. David Carr wouldn't be bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know if Jordan is good enough to step up and take over if Carson gets hurt again. I wouldn't mind promoting him to backup and bringing in a sixth or seventh rounder as the third stringer! Pat White in the third anyone?Promote Jordan? No way we would probably have the worst backup quarterback in the league if we had him as our number one backup, did you see him when he got in the game? He had that deer in the headlight look, I'm not that big on Palmer 1.0 less Palmer 2.0. Someone said we have too much to worry about to draft Pat White in the third round, that's a lie we need someone capable to back Palmer up, we have witnessed how quick a quarterback is done for the season and we are done for the season. I want us to at least have a fighters chance if that happened, now I'm not saying Pat White would give us that fighters chance but damn he's a better option then Jordan Palmer.

gregstephens Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Why not Joey Harrington? He sucks as a starter, but he couldn't be any worse in the fill in role than Fitz. Damon Huard? Culpepper? Vick? Favre? Derrick Anderson?(Ok...just slap me now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whur CHad At? Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 We need a viable backup who can start and play if need be. Maybe Leftwitch or Garcia or someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jditty47 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 i wouldnt mind vick to be honest...with our line now, a mobile back up would be nice. jp losman would be good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAPPYJAQ Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I hope it's someone with a nice arm, too. We didn't even try to throw the ball downfield, partly due to Fitz' lack of arm strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 It's wierd. I feel like we should all be saying profound things about Fitzpatrick moving on but I can barely bring myself to write one of those thanks for the fish goodbyes.

jditty47 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 and another thing...why i would want to bring vick in...CP needs someone to light a fire under his ass and get him motivated to keep his job and progress us into a playoff contender.

Besides, within his first week in Cincinnati he would be tased and in jail for some kind of parking violation or forgetting to scoop up his steaming dog pile in the park. Just out of curiosity...is there any kind of judge order that says Vick can no longer own a dog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jditty47 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Utecht is a good TE its just CP doesn't like to utalize them. Vick will be just like Ray Lewis once hes out, hes gonna be a beast. If we can get his rights for a 6th or 7th rounder, why wouldnt we? I know why we WONT do it, so dont think im being dilusional. I know we won't take a run at Vick, but I for one am looking at the potential upside. Look at the garbage we had to put on the field when CP went out last year...its hard to get a good backup. If not vick I would say Losman like I said, then Leftwich, then Grossman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whur CHad At? Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 It's not CP who doesn't like TE's, its the Brat attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAPPYJAQ Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I'd like to see Grossman here and I think it'd be as good a match as he'll find, in terms of learning from Zampese and possibly getting on the field next year. Most teams have solidified their backup QB positions already. We need a #2 and a #3, as the other Palmer is not the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
