possible backups to pry away

by stanfordkp on Aug 17, 2010 4:25 PM CDT

not that i dislike DanO - just not that excited if he ever has to come i the game. here are some notables i saw from preseason game 1s:

kellen clemens:

dude showed some good poise in the packet and decent accuracy - jets seemed set on brunell at the 2. any chance we can pry him from them. i'd even ~~gift~~ offer Fred Bennett or a pick or something iono. thoughts?

luke mccown;

dude looked great for the jags. then again, they might wanna keep him when garrard never gets out of his funk

SAGE:

he's lightyears ahead of DanO

any others? thoughts?

Bennett

Has no trade value whatsoever. Zero.

A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

Cr@p

I mean, ummmm, Bennett for your backup RB or QB would be a fantastic deal for you! I love the Ngata idea!

Miami and Minnesota are going to either cut a good guy or have one at third string

That’s where you go if Dan-O sucks it up.

It's not really a question of if he sucks it up.....

… That’s like wondering if the sun is going to rise tomorrow. No, it’s how bad he sucks it up that matters. If he sucks little enough that the NFL owners wouldn’t call a meeting and vote the Texans ~~off the Island~~ out of the league, Kubiak will probably trust him, or John David Booty, or the Janitor as the backup quarterback.

I thought you were supposed to hand the ball off to Foster?

Back-up RB

In case you are in the market, and looking for a dependable RB, nothing stellar, but decent ball control and great for short yardage situations, look at Aaron Stecker. He filled in for New Orleans a couple of years ago, and spent part of last year on the Falcons roster. I think he was cut when Turner and Norwood both got healthy. Stecker has been in the league for a little while, but a 1-2 year deal for a back-up RB might be a good investment.
