We may see Gus re-sign again at a reduced salary.  I think they got rid of him only because he would cost $4.38 million against the cap next season, and that number is not justifiable for a backup QB.    If Gus goes elsewhere,  I wouldn't mind seeing Brooks, Maddox, or Weinke.  Also, drafting a QB in the low rounds (Jacobs or McNeal), would make for an interesting scenario.

Garcia?  Wouldn't mind at all.  He flourished with the Niners before San Fran. imploded.  Just don't ask him to lead a team.  Here he has solid group that could be a pretty good fit.  But as a backup, that's prolly not on his agenda.

I picked Garcia. I think he fits the back-up role very well, and would do a formidable job.

I heard the Eagles rumours as well, so it seems unlikely.

Looks like we have targeted Maddox:

The Dolphins contacted the agent for free agent quarterback Tommy Maddox, who could take the backup role if Gus Frerotte doesn't re-sign.

He stinks.

He was so bad last year people trashed his house after he cost them a game.

I voted for "some rookie" as well, but I think that a great option for a backup QB now would be Omar Jacobs. We should be able to get him on day two of the draft, so not too expensive and it gives us a talented-but-raw developmental guy behind Daunte.

It's pretty refreshing to be debating who we want as backup instead of who should be starting at quarterback!  Grin

Personally, I think there are many capable backups out there including many who have been on our roster. before I believe most of the past guys can perform well enough behind a competent team, which we now have, and do ok. I also think there are many others available as well.

Keep in mind, said backup may possibly be the opening day starter...

In no way do I want Maddox, or Ramsey anywhere near Miami. I don't even want them in Jacksonville, Atlanta, or Tampa Bay because that is too close to Miami for my comfort. Brooks could be a viable backup and I know this will make Brian cringe but I would bring Griese back over Ramsey or Maddox!!!!! I would try to re-sign Gus as he wasn't great but he did get the job done for the most part and he already has a year under his belt in this offense.

I wouldn't mind seeing Jeff Garcia as the backup.  One, he's mobile.  Two, he's a decent leader.  He is a little long in the tooth as far as a starter goes, but he's a smart player.  If he were forced into action say in week 8 or 9, he'd have our offense down pat.  He's got a nice arm and throws well on the move.

If we could score Garcia, that would be huge.
