Let's hope that doesn't happen. It seems just about every player that makes the cover of Madden seems to get hurt the following season. We have enough injuries on this team.

Guys, there are better QB's in free agency than Kitna & Frerotte. How about David Garrard?

Unfortunately ghandi...I am such a stickler for Saints and Dolphins games that.......I have no idea who you mentioned. Can you help me out?

One more thing....all this talk about Lienart and Young and the second coming of Jesus Christ...what about McPhereson?? I thought he had the "tools."

David Garrard is Jacksonville's backup QB. Guy had one heck of a season after Leftwich got hurt. He is very mobile & his awareness & accuracy helped lead the Jaguars to the playoffs this year. If you want to know about his college career, he was East Carolina's QB when they actually had that ranked team the year the hurricane hit them.

If we're going to let AB go, then we draft Leinart and bring in Kitna for one year. That's my plan. But I still think Leinart can start right away.

Deuce? I can't agree with that. At least not completely. I think we need to focus our draft on defense and find some decent offensive FA pickups. A reciever, a lineman, and a FA QB. Now I say that as the common sense plan (IMHO anyway) but I would retract if I could find a list of available FA QB's and saw that the list was nothing but garbage. If that is the case then I would have to go with Deuce. It is imperative that we let Brooks go for the sake of the cap. 6 million is gooooood FA money.

Fatius, I posted a link to a listing of all the free agents availible in the "Free Agency" thread

He won his last 6 games but I'm feelin ya Jeebs. I am going to put up the link and you guys take a look for yourself. 8 TDS and 3 INTS and only 3 fumbles the last 6 games and only lost 1 of them. You guys do the rest of the math. The stats are not great but he found a way to win and he didn't screw it up. I think he would be a great pickup even as a starter for next season. If we get Leinart next year let him sit the bench like he is going to anyway and let Ferotte give us a chance to win. Kitna, Ferotte, Collins, Volek, Harrington and Schaub should be our top targets in FA.

Schaub would be the only guy on that list I would go after. Harrington just doesn't have it, Collins is a washed up drunk, and Volek, Kitna, & Frerotte are nothing more than career backups. :? :? Schaub, on the other hand is the real deal. Unfortunately, Atlanta's not going to let him go, especially to a division rival. :x :x

Agreed on all but Volek. You can't lump him in with this group, he went off with the Titans when McNair went down 2 years ago and I think they are holding onto him for McNair's retirement.

I think Volek can start: 26 TDs 13 INTs 86.9 career rating 60.1 comp %

That's in 10 career starts thrown in with a bunch of mop up duty. Compare those numbers to the starters in the league from this year. (His playing time equates to a bit over a full year as a starter when you throw in all the spot duty.) Those numbers are far from career back up. I would take Volek in a second.

As for Schaub, I agree. He seems to be a solid QB, but we're not getting him.
