Gus is gone.

Sage is gone.

I'll assume, for the purpose of this thread that Culpepper get's the OK from the team doc's.

Given Culpepper's injury, and the fact that he may or may not be ready for the season opener, I think its imperative to have a servicable backup.  Who do you think we should go after?

Kitna signed with the Lions today. Gus won't come back. Who does that leave?
1.McCown- may want a better situation where he might start (i.e. Baltimore)
2.Collins- Might not be suited for out system. Plus is immobile as a boulder
3. Brooks- Might not be a bad choice, but probably will opt for Baltimore and a starting gig.
4. Weinke- I'd wouldn't mind this option.
5. Garcia- rumored to be linked to the Eagles.

Thoughts?

Garcia - interesting...

Fielder is out there.  As is Ramsey, maybe.  I think Griese is available but I cringe at the thought of seeing him on the field again.

What happened to Aaron Brooks?

Let me tell you, I'd love Aaron Brooks as a backup.  He's got some skill, but New Orleans is a slush-box for QB's.

Most likely he'll be cut tdue to his high contract. New Orleans won't pay him that much to be a back up. Anyway, NFL Radio has him and Collins (since Jim Fassel is the OC) linked to Baltimore.

I forgot to add guys like Ramsey and Griese. Oh well, I don't want to give 14 options on the poll!

I thought Brooks was already released.

What about Anthony Wright?  Or one of the guys from Dallas?  Matt Schaub?

WOW...  Imagine if we could get Schaub?

Isn't Jim Sorgi also a free agent?

Atlanta wants a first round pick for him. They may never get the chance to trade him with those demands.

maybe the Culpepper deal will lower their price a bit.

     Originally, I said Tommy Maddox.  However, I think Aaron Brooks would be better suited as a backup.  Jeff Garcia is an intriguing option as well.  However, THE ONE PERSON  I DO NOT WANT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER, IS JAY FIEDLER!!!!!!  STAY THE HELL OUT OF MIAMI YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF DOG CRAP!!!

I'm probably the only person here who liked Fiedler, but I agree. He isn't our new backup.

yeah its gotta be a cheap veteran... maddox. doesn't he go back to the mularkey days at pitt??

brooks would be an interesting option. again depends on the price. probably gonna be a bit too high for what we are at right now, but maybe if the market dries up. there is a thinking around the league that guys need to get their money now because as each day passes, the money pool is drying up.
