Grossman was a legit MVP candidate mid-way through the 2006 season. He had mutliple 100+ QB rating games (not that I like the QB rating stat at all, but…). Grossman had a terrible 2007 season, but so what – I’m not saying he’s a HOF player or should even be starting.

… but he’s the better backup for this season. Orlovsky could fuck up playoff chances almost immediately if Schaub should sleep funny on his shoulder one random Saturday night. Just sayin’.

rexy would likely be third string anyway so the odds of his services being required in a game would be small. if he had to come into the game it would be in a situation where schaub was hurt and then orlovsky was hurt, which the odds of that happeneing are small. if the universe completely explodes upon our heads and rexy goes down too……well we;re screwed but again that’s highly improbable

but having Rex as the emergency QB3 is a good use of the rule. Based on what I saw in preseason I would make Rex QB2 and Dan O QB3E. Orlovsky makes too many bad decisions resulting in INT’s. He threw INT’s on 1st down against both NO and MINN by forcing the ball into coverage. That should NEVER happen on 1st down. He has to learn to throw the ball away or run for his life. I like his physical skills, but right now he scares me. Would much rather see Rex if Schaub gets nicked.

but if (and I emphasize the if, because I do not know) both Dreesen and Casey have demonstrated in practice the ability to long snap, then wouldn’t it make sense to cut Harris. Both Casey and Dreesen are players, rather than just long snappers. Casey at multiple positions and Dreesen is right now the 2nd best TE on the team. I see them as each having more value IF they can long snap.
