You could very well be right, but the same thing could have been said of Trent Green early in his career. I find him intriguing because DV/AS wanted him pretty badly in that draft. That makes him interesting despite his past performance.

If he were a high priced FA, I wouldn't want to tie up a lot of cap room on him, but it seems like he's going to come pretty cheap. If so, he'd make a perfect come-back player candidate.

Brees is the only one of those choices I would like to have here. That's very unlikely to happen, unless he wants to give his shoulder more time to heal.

If not Brees draft a QB to develop in the next year or two.

I thought Ken Dorsey was a steal coming out of college, for someone to develop. I know he got to play some this year, but I really don't know what kind of numbers he posted (not much, if there' no more interest in him than this).

If so, he'd now come cheaper than he otherwise would have given his risk (and the Chad Pennington experience). He's my #1 QBOTF candidate at the right price.

Failing that, I'm hoping that Harrington gets a 2nd chance in KC. I also like Josh McCown a little. Certainly as a #2 or #3. I'm afraid we will end up with Jamie Martin again.

Anyway, this is the only list I've been able to find so far.

http://www.theredzone.org/2006/freea...sp?Position=QB

Anthony Wright UFA Ravens
Charlie Batch UFA Steelers
Chris Simms RFA Buccaneers
Chris Weinke UFA Panthers
Craig Nall UFA Packers
Damon Huard UFA Chiefs
Dave Ragone RFA Texans
Doug Flutie UFA Patriots
Drew Brees UFA Chargers
Jamie Martin UFA Rams
Jeff Blake UFA Bears
Jeff Garcia UFA Lions
Jesse Palmer UFA 49ers
Jon Kitna UFA Bengals
Josh McCown UFA Cardinals
Ken Dorsey RFA 49ers
Kliff Kingsbury RFA Jets
Kurt Warner UFA Cardinals
Sage Rosenfels UFA Dolphins
Seneca Wallace RFA Seahawks
Shane Matthews UFA Bills
Shaun Hill UFA Vikings
Tim Hasselbeck UFA Giants
Todd Collins UFA Chiefs
Ty Detmer UFA Falcons
Vinny Testaverde UFA Jets

Any other options that might become available this year?

Drew Brees UFA Chargers
Josh McCown UFA Cardinals

These would be my choices since mostly they are UFA's... But realistically they are only going to go to a team that they could start for.. Not sure if they would come here and mind learning and riding the bench for 1-3 years...

If the Lions were to keep Harrington and let Garcia go.I wouldn't mind if we looked in to him.Hes a tough, moble QB.But he is also kinda up there in age. Seneca Wallace has also looked good to me when he gets the chance,hes ugly :) but very moble and has been behind a solid QB for 3 years.

**** GARCIA, REMEMBER TO SAID HE WAS GAY

I was actually surprised when Arizona picked up Warner this last off season because I thought McCown was their QB for the foreseeable future. Maybe there is some issues here I am not aware of but he would be someone of interest to me.

Ragone is definitely one I would find interesting. That had to suck for him being stuck behind Carr these last couple of years. But I think he has the skills needed and with a veteran to show him the ropes in Green there is some serious upside to this kid, IMO.

Imho, Harrington just isn't very good. Plus, reports are that his teammates don't like him. Sounds like a Grbac.

Brees would be nice but I don't see it happening.

We need to draft a QB. And maybe take a look at Ramsey from Washington. I thought he played well before Gibbs ****ed with his head.

And Schaub...though he may be a flash in the pan. He looks good though and I'd start him over Vick.

Matt Schaub!!!!

That would be THE BEST pick at QB.

All you who keep talking drafting a QB, we have done so at least twice in the last couple of years. The one I can think of off the top of my head would be Casey Clausen. I don't think he is even on the practice squad.

*EDIT: we drafted James Killian this last year as well and we have noone on the practice squad. *

So I don't know why anyone would think we can draft a QBOTF at any time and certainly not in the later rounds. :shake:
