Both have impressed me with how smart they have played in this preseason, and both have strong arms.

I like the way Nate Davis plays, but there have been a bunch of reports that speak negatively of his work ethic and dedication to the sport. Id take him as a #3 though in a heartbeat.

Boss had thrown out an idea for Rosenfels. I like that. I like Tarvaris Jackson. I like any player currently wearing a Packers' uniform. There are people who can be had for the right price (or Page).

Sage Rosenfels (stopgap starter that would beat Cassel out from day one and be a great backup if we draft a QBOTF in the next draft...he would also allow us to draft for the strength of the next draft (wr) and wait to draft a guy like Luck/Barkley in the 12 draft if we chose to do so..depending on who comes out next year at the position)
Tarvaris Jackson (only as long term backup/change up player)
Tyler Thigpen (see Jackson)
Jeff Garcia (short term replacement/stopgap)
Nate Davis (developmental guy and solid #2 or #3)
Brian Brohm (I have like this guy since college and I know he isnt a perfect prospect, but he has shown good improvement since entering the league as a guy that could have been a first rounder. He could be a diamond in the rough IMO)

Im sure I missed someone, but those are the guys I would take on this team right now that I think would be a good fit for what we need.
