I'd like to see us make a two prong attack on the QB position. First, we need to go after the best FA out there to supplant Gus with. We have no idea how the draft will pan out so we have to treat FA as if it's our only shot at fixing the QB position. Then in the draft still go for the best QB we can get. That way we're safe both ways. We have the best FA available out there at QB and we have the best QB in the draft that we could realistically lay our hands on that's learning in the wings. I want to see Saban "GO FOR IT" on the QB position. Frerotte is the safe mediocre way out. He's not going to get better he'll just hopefully not get worse.
If we get Brooks, or Schaub, or Couch, or whoever they are coming in to play the QB position. They are not coming in to teach the drafted QB the position. That's what the QB coach, and the other bazillion position coaches we have are for. That FA will be coming in to provide us with the best skills available to us for the time being.
I'm sick to death of us playing it safe at that position. We need to go for it in both FA and the Draft. Worse case scenario is we have a better starter and a great rookie waiting in the wings.
