I came up with a few names and I'm sure this list is nowhere near exhaustive but here are a couple of guys who could come in to Miami, take over capably if Jay goes down, and who could possibly push for the starting job. We all know Wanny's terrified of a QB controversy so I don't see Jay losing the battle but if Jay falters there'll be no avoiding it next year, Wanny will have to pull him in favor of someone else. The question is who will that be?
Since Lucas has already proven he can't even play up to the level of Fiedler, and if he returns there will likely be a full blown 'Fin-fan mutiny, here are some of the names that might be worth a shot:
Shaun King: He's efficient and is mobile, but can occasionally throw the errant pass. Sounds a lot like the guy we have under center right now.
Rob Johnson: I believe he only signed a one year contract and he fell out of favor with Grueden this past year. He's had his shots and hasn't produced but maybe he could do better under Norv's system. At any rate, he's probably better than Lucas.
Charlie Batch: He was decent in Detroit but he couldn't quite get the job done, but then again, who could with that pile of crap team. He may be worth a long look.
Kordell Stewart: He'll probably go somewhere to start and would likely be very unhappy as a backup anyway but he'd certainly be an upgrade over Lucas, and maybe he can get some of that magic from last season back.
Other than these few that I've mentioned I can't think of anyone who will A) be available, or B) who would be much of an upgrade. What are all of your thoughts on the above mentioned names, and are there any other affordable, BACKUP QB's (in other words: Griese, Plummer, etc. don't count here) who would be able to go into Miami and make an impact off the bench?
Thoughts????
