IMO he was the best FA QB available.

Yea, I had Volek and Sorgi right up there as well but then (as with all the good options) he was resigned because of a CAP windfall.

;D

If the staff hadn't been targeting a DE in FA (used our top picks) maybe they would have tried to get DA, but again, I am not really sold on that cat yet either.

Long story short is that I now believe that TJ is the man, will be the man for a long time and Gussy boy is just a stop gap until Booty matures a bit. That will leave us with to very good options as a starter and backup that have been "Grown" in the system.

Just goes to show that the Front Office/Coaching staff might know more than some yutz like me.
I would have given the picks a few years ago to get Cutler.

;D

You and me both, my friend.

So you feel that Jackson is a better QB than Cutler and will continue to be into the future?

I like Chilly's comment that there were 60 different starting QBs in the NFL in 2007. That really says something about how interchangable these guys are. I just want a QB in there who can move the sticks, and I really don't care who it is.

Gus looks decent. I like his mechanics.

Anyways, Frerotte is being brought into the exact same situation as he was in his last stint. He is backing up a young QB who may not pan out. Hopefully his age won't be a bother.

Dude, please don't say you are comparing T-Jacks in 2007 with Daunte Culpepper in 2004.

Maybe?

I think you need to reread my original post again. StillPurple got it. You didn't.

So would I.

I'm not to worried aobut Gus's age but rather will he get a good grasp of the offense.
At least they got him in (unlike Holcomb) in time to work with everybody throughout the whole offseason workouts.

Probably will be enough to get him up to snuff.
