David Carr - He could be had. I'm sure I read he has stipulations in his contract that could make him a free agent after this year. The Texans could end up with the #1 pick. Unless they get a SWEET trade down deal they can't pass on Leinhart. Capers could be canned so a new regime might want to start over with "their guy" at Q.B.
I'd take Carr in a heartbeat...if the price was right (contraxct wise). The only question I have about him is whether the 3 year *** kicking he's recieved in Houston has has long term effects on him mentally and physically.
Joey Harrington - Harrington was making strides last year in my opinion. This year he has no excuses though. He has playmakers all around him and has regressed badly.
I would'nt want anything to do with him.
Matt Schaub - He has looked great in limited playing time. There are issues though.
#1 - With Mike Vicks obvious inability to stay in one peice WHY would the Falcons trade a back up Q.B. who can start and win for them? We all saw what the Falcons are when Vick gets hurt and they have no backup 2 years ago....they are a 5 - 11 team.
#2 - IF the Falcons are crazy enough to move him they would have to be blown out of the water with an offer. I for one am not prepared to take another gamble with draft picks for a guy who, even though he has shown a lot, is still unproven.
Drew Brees - We have NO SHOT at him. He is the Chargers Q.B. for the next decade. He has already shown this year that last year was not a fluke. He is poised, makes plays and almost never turns the ball over.
I fully expect the Chargers to make him a BIG MONEY contract offer before he sniffs free agency.
Philip Rivers - He is like Schaub, accept he has shown even less. I really like Rivers but, like I said with Schaub, I'm not willing to give up the farm for someone elses backup Q.B.
If we can get him for a 3rd rounder in the '06 draft and a conditional pick in the '07 draft then I'm all for it.
If the guy is lights out then we give up a 1st in '07 (as part of the conditional package)
We have SO MANY other needs (Q.B., Left tackle, defensive tackle, outside linebacker, corner, safety). Giving up a first (and more) as well as a HUGE contract for someone elses backup Q.B. is a Speilman move...
