Replacement for Basanez/Competition with Moore?

[methodtoll]

Now that Basanez is back in his home state of Illinois with the Bears squad, who is likely to come in and take his spot as the 4th QB? Will they compete with Moore?

[Squirrel]

Pat White.

Pat White.

I was thinking that we may just get another undrafted QB :-D

[Squirrel]

Probably so either a undrafted on one that falls to 5-6 round. DOnt seeing us picking up someone that will actually compete for the job in the next two years.

We don’t need a fourth quarterback to compete with Moore, we need someone to compete with Delhomme. The jury is still out as to whether Moore or McCown can be effective starters in the league. I’m willing to give either a shot, but right now I don’t see either one being a better option as a starter than Delhomme.

I really think this is the year we draft a quarterback, perhaps in the second round. They may not see the field much next year, but it’s time to start thinking about grooming someone to replace Jake, and perhaps even compete for the job (which is probably a long shot for a rookie quarterback under John Fox).

As I mentioned before, getting a QB in the draft will all depend on what they do with Peppers. If we can somehow come away with at least a 1st round pick + say, a 3rd rounder then I think they can be safe enough to use a later pick on a QB. However, if we do not trade Peppers this year, I believe that we probably won't invest in a QB. If we did, it will most likely be a cheap free agent pick up.

One possibility that no one really has mention is the possibility of Kyle Boller coming here. I know a lot of people are not really high on him and will be much comparable to Carr but if my memory serves me correctly, Fox and Hurney, at one point back in 06, were looking at trading for Boller.

Think you are right on Peppers and picks. We really are in good shape as far as the draft (not needing much). If we get some extra picks I could see them using one to pick a QB. I dont think they will get one in F/A though as we have two quality QB's behind Jake I think we will live and die by those three and the 4th will be either stashed on the practice squad or play another position (white) while learning to be a qb.

4th QB? Did Gruden get hired on the Panthers our sumpin'? You must mean for the practice squad.

lol, that's what I'm saying... starting threads about a 4th QB?

Who cares who the 4th is.... He'll never see playing time anyhow. Even if it comes down to a 4th QB, chances are someone will be brought in, i.e. Testaverde and 2007...

I am so sorry that I didn't make a repetitive thread about where Peppers was going and who will be a replacement for him

I am so sorry that I didn't make a repetitive thread about how Jake Delhomme sucks and we need a new starter at QB

and I am so sorry that I didn't make a repetitive thread about where Ken Lucas will be cut or traded.

Maybe, just maybe, instead of creating multiple threads on the same topic that we could, actually talk about something else for a change.

In regards to this, we have always had 4 QBs at the start of summer school and training camp and well into Pre-season. I am just saying that maybe we could always bring another QB in to compete with Moore for the third spot.

But you did make a repetitive thread on a new QB, it's all the rage...

You're exactly right. I really do appreciate this thread for that. I guess with all the daily panic threads, it's easy to read this as another.

However, for discussion, last year Lester Ricard had a few praises. I couldn't see anyone with drastically more skill to come in. It will be someone similar of a Basanez or Ricard skill type..

Every year folks on here and talking heads constantly talk about us drafting a quarterback.

Fox isn't going to do it. The one guy he drafted, Lefors. didn't last 2 years. He hasn't done it since and has made it clear that he doesn't think a rookie quarterback is worth the money to develop. He would much rather get a guy who is a free agent and has been around the league. It is much more likely that we will pick up a guy like Chris Simms or another free agent than we will draft a quarterback.

I expect that all you guys unhappy with Jake hoping we are going to draft a QB in the first day will be disappointed again. Fox likes Jake, McCown, and Moore.

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't even pick up one in free agency. I for one would be fine with picking up one or two guys but it is far from a foregone conclusion that we will.
