Peyton Manning (IND)

Michael Vick (PHI)

Brett Favre (MIN)

Seneca Wallace (CLE)

Matt Hasselbeck (SEA)

Matt Moore (CAR)

Alex Smith (SF)

Matt Leinart (HOU)

Marc Bulger (BAL)

Todd Collins (CHI)

Caleb Hanie (CHI)

Brady Quinn (DEN)

Drew Stanton (DET)

Trent Edwards (JAC)

Luke McCown (JAC)

Brodie Croyle (KC)

Chad Pennington (MIA)

Tyler Thigpen (MIA)

Tarvaris Jackson (MIN)

Jim Sorgi (NYG)

Kellen Clemens (NYJ)

Kyle Boller (OAK)

Bruce Gradkowski (OAK)

Dennis Dixon (PIT)

Billy Volek (SD)

Troy Smith (SF)

Kerry Collins (TEN)

Rex Grossman (WAS)

So taking into account that there is no possibility of Vick or Manning or Favre, who do you think we bring in? You know were going to bring in a vet at QB. There is no doubt in my mind. Or do you think we make a trade?

my short list...

gradkowski

tarvaris jackson

grossman

thigpen

moore

alex smith

derek anderson

[edit: caleb hanie...i keep forgetting about this guy.]

i'm not loving that list, but i don't want anyone over 30. got to be thinking long term with these guys. someone over 30 won't be here long term. the guy needs to fit the young team and be in keeping with the growing young team philosophy richardson has. remember he wanted to give the young guys a chance to get experience on the field and was taking a long view with them. we have to find out who the franchise QB is going to be going forward and the only real way to know is to take risks with younger guys.

Unless you are under the illusion that Clausen is our long term man and we need an older vet to start a couple years and be a mentor to Clausen. I for one am not ready to give up on him but at the same time am not willing to put all my eggs in that basket

i have hopes that he could be, but i'm not counting on it, neither should the team.

we don't need an old vet to start a couple years to mentor anyone. that concept is as archaic as foxball. having a mentor would be fine, as long as we didn't start him. the danger in having an older one is the temptation would be there to start him anyways instead of letting the young guy take his lumps and get experience that is much needed for development.

you get a young guy and get him in the game. that's the best way for them to learn and the offense to grow with him as a unit.

look around the league and you'll see that most teams that are having QB changes are getting younger guys in earlier and it is going well. rookies are getting the start and they are creating a system that gives them a chance for some success. running the ball a lot is a huge part of that. only teams that should be letting a young QB sit behind an old one are those teams that already have an old vet entrenched into the role with the offense built around him already, like what green bay had. we don't have that here.

we are a young team without an identity on offense, but who is going to be forging one. best way for that to be forged is with a young QB who could end up being the franchise QB. get him in the game and get the offense built around his strengths and weaknesses and get him and the other players in sync with each other.

again, this is in keeping with richardsons plan for the team going forward. he wanted fox to get the young guys on the field getting experience and fox wouldn't do it, so he dumped the old guys. i'm thinking that was one of the conditions that rivera was given. this is a young team on purpose.

Seneca wallace, Matt Hasselbeck, and Bruce Gradkowski have all been starter's and might not end up with contract's from the team's there on now. Guy's like Manning, Vick, forget em. Troy Smith, Dennis Dixon, and Caleb Hanie are yoynger guy's with some upside but we've got young QB's on the roster now. Would Like to See Matt Moore brought back in next season too.

wallace and hass are WCO guys.

i do like the prospect of caleb hanie, though. i keep forgetting about him, but i like waht i saw of him. lots of room for growth and a good bit of potential there.

i need to be including him in my list of prospects for young vet QBs.
