Back-up QB options?

Now that Jake is off the board. What route do you all think we should go for a back-up? Do we keep Brunell on for another year? Does Chase Daniel get a good shot at it in training camp? Do we bring in another vet?

One person that slightly intrigues me as a possibility if we go the veteran route is Shaun Hill of the 49ers. With the Niners signing David Carr, Hill's days are pretty much numbered in San Francisco. I read an article where he is being offered up as trade bait, but if he isn't traded, he will probably be released. He's only 30 years old and he has knowledge of the NFC West, which the Saints play next season. He's had a few impressive games with a team that didn't give him much to work with outside of Vernon Davis. I think he could be had on the cheap and could bolster the QB position. Just a thought. What are your opinions, not just on Hill, but the back-up spot as a whole.
