Would you take a chance and sign any of these QBs?

[Ebenezer]

According to Footballsfuture.com these QBs might all be FAs under a new CBA.

Would you take a risk on any of them? Numbers in parens are their ages.

Kyle Orton, Denver Broncos (27)
Jason Campbell, Washington Redskins (28)
Chad Pennington, Miami Dolphins (34)
Tarvaris Jackson, Minnesota Vikings (27)
Kellen Clemens, New York Jets (27)
Charlie Batch, Pittsburgh Steelers (35)
Kyle Boller, St. Louis Rams (29)
David Carr, New York Giants (31)
Brodie Croyle, Kansas City Chiefs (27)
Daunte Culpepper, Detroit Lions (33)
Rex Grossman, Houston Texans (30)
Joey Harrington, New Orleans Saints (31)
Jon Kitna, Dallas Cowboys (37)

Wow. What a sad list.

Orton and Moore won't be going anywhere. Redmond and maybe Carr would be worth a look as a transition type while someone is drafted but that's probably a stretch.

Orton or Carr. But they are the best guys on the list and the best guys don't want to come here usually.

Re: Would you take a chance and sign any of these QBs?

wow. that's quite a conglomerate of...well...something. None of them are on my wish list, but Carr, Troy Smith & maybe Moore could create interesting competition should we not find a QB by any other means.

only the guys in bold would be clear upgrades, the rest i selected would be possible upgrades... some more likely to succeed then others. The sad thing is, guys like Smith or Campbell are probably just as crappy as Edwards and Fitzpatrick.

I thought about adding Pennington to my list but the chance of his being healthy for a season is about nill.

As a starter? No way. I have zero interest in any of those guys.

I take it many haven't been watching Carolina the past few weeks with QB Matt Moore replacing Jake Turnover. He's playing very well and winning games.

Rob Johnson also played well briefly for Jacksonville.

Re: Would you take a chance and sign any of these QBs?

i just want a capable OL that can let a running game take hold. i'm tired of boring football.

We have two decent backs...we have no real receivers. Get the backs running well. Get the TE (schouman and nelson have shown promise) some touches. Eventually try to find Lee Evans open and then can every other receiver and bring in a new corp of hungry, non-losers to the team. If evans doesn't turn it around with a decent running game, then the whole WR corp needs to be recreated.

But i don't want another QB to develop around this line and become "broken"

I would like to think a coach like Cowher or Grimm understands the value of a solid running game and would seriously develop a solid OL and running game around Jackson and Lynch.

Re: Would you take a chance and sign any of these QBs?

The only 2 on that list I like at all are Troy Smith and Orton.

Re: Would you take a chance and sign any of these QBs?

Matt Moore seems to be coming int his own but Carolina is more than likely going to seal the deal as their other option is better a getting the ball to the other team.

If Kitna wasn't 37, I'd consider him for a season. However, behind this atrocious line he'd wind up sitting in the pocket in a Hover-Round.

Croyle...never mind...

There has to be someone in the draft up to the challenge...ugh
