This camp report from today has some good news in it:

[PhinBeck]

Frerotte isn't crusty by any means at all. Yes, he is 34, but he has nowhere near the wear and tear of somebody that age. He hasnt taken anywhere near all the hits that somebody like Trent Green has taken, or Brett Favre, and they're a year older.

Plus, he's only signed to a 2 year deal anyway, with a very cheap contract for a potential starter. He can easily start for 2 years to make way for somebody thats drafted next year.

LOL using the same excuse you bashed when the argument AJ was already 29 and we respond yes but he doesnt have the wear and tear. LOL

Now with that, yes I agree Frerrotte has a few years, I believe 3 effective years. I just dont have much confidence that he is an answer. Use any basis you want but 4 games in relief doesnt make up for the 3 other starting opportunities he blew.

Like I said, right now if everything remains teh same, Gus should start. He is mored poised under presuure and that is a big factor. If AJ doesnt start showing teh same poise and comfort, then he shouldnt start. But to think that Gus is a better long term solution than AJ if AJ pans out is naive and wishful thinking IMO. I am not against Gus, I am not, I just cant forget that outside a few games in relief with a well oiled offense that had cohesion and several years together, he could not even stick with a team. Yes Gannon peaked late, but count the years and teh number of qbs that did what Gannon did, versus teh ones that were just plain busts.

great to hear good things about the offense, scary to hear about how poor our secondary is!

Furthermore, we seem to have quite the battle going on at the WR spot as well. Chambers, Booker Boston an dWelker are pretyt much asured a spot. I used to think the same thing about Thompson but with the play of Gilmore, Davis and Newson, Thompson may be in trouble.

Exactly, agreed 100%...Actually I insisted that Thompson should`ve been cut last years camp to see how the young guys would fair.
With chambers, booker and boston..Thompson will be no better than a #4 receiver!We gotta play welker,gilmore,newson,davis..heck I would even keep Farmer or Bellamy whos already gone instead of thompson

It's a shame the previous regime didn't have Welker more at WR. From what I recall, he never even took snaps with the offensive unit. And what the **** has happened to Berlin to suddenly make him a good QB?

Roids!!!!!! He got em' from Raffie!!!!!!

Brock Berlin had a dynamite practice, twice connecting deep with WR Bryan Gilmore

Berlin threw a high-arcing deep ball down the right sideline and over the head of Gilmore, who made the finger-tip catch as he stepped out at the 1-yard line. CB Reggie Howard was beaten on the play.

:ladysman: Berlin


Reggie Howard :grouplaug

Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

Absolutely right.

i hope brock berlin makes it we should keep all 4 qb's!

I'm with you he showed a little something in the game the other day. I'm pulling for this guy to make the team. Then after that it's just a matter of time.
