Here are my concerns. He's not young anymore which in and of itself will effect his mobility. He will have been out of football nearly 3 years if he doesn't play the rest of the season. He won't have played good football in close to 4 and that includes when he was healthy.
Very few if any, play poor football for 4 years in the middle of their careers, sustain a potentially career ending injury and come back to anywhere near their prior form.
I don't know the exact terms of his deal, but we need a qb of the future, not the past. We need a guy that can play for us for 10 years. Daunte may be a good teacher and with his injury and poor play a restructured contract shouldn't be too hard to work out especially since very few would be interested at all. It could certainly be incentive laden as well.
We trade our top 5 for a later 1st rounder and a 2nd 2nd rounder (if we aren't giving a 2nd rounder away already, think we are as part of the Daunte deal). We get a qb late 1st round and then fill rest of the spots in the 2nd and later. Daunte is the starter for a year or two or whatever it looks like he can handle and the late 1st rounder learns. Push for a guy that is a Junior who is debating coming out of college football until he graduates.
Secondly deal Joey and deal him fast, he's no better than Frerotte or Feeley. He may be worse. I say start Cleo for the rest of the year, Marcus is the backup and trade Joey now for a 2nd or 3rd year potentially promising LB or D lineman. I'm sure Detroit, GB, MN, BUFF, AZ and several others would be interested in Joey as a backup/starter.
