I don't care if that is a draft pick, free agent or trade.

I have ZERO patience for continuing to place hope in former late round draft pick slapdicks who never turn out to be the franchise QB the GM/HC hoped they would be.

No ****ing more.

What if he picked up a back up from another team?
For example:
Seattle picked up Hasselbeck from GB (went to a SB)
Raiders picked up Gannon from KC (went to a SB)
Chargers picked up Humphries from WAS (went to a SB)
The list goes on and on...
Would that be acceptable?

Would a 9-7 record next year make you happy?

So if you pick up a QB with the No. 1 pick in a draft that is not strong at the QB position you would be willing to accept the 2 or 3 seasons of growing pains before displaying any signs of unrest, however, if you pick up a high profile backup from another team there will be no room for growing pains?

Thats why you're taking the backup right? He's already experienced and ready to go?

9-7 would be a good record for a team with a new QB being trained by the Walrus. I would expect less from a rookie.

Less in year 1, maybe.

Year 3, nope.


Qb's acquired by trade or free agency don't win SB's anymore. 6 first or second year QB's were in the playoffs this year, IIRC.
