Need to find a backup somewhere???

With Vick's ability to seemingly get hurt, is there any veteran's out there that we can sign for insurance? Jones is not the answer, period! What names are possibly out there??

 

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but someone was looking for some info from you in the Steelers vs. KC thread.

 

Tomlin said they won't be looking for a backup. For sure (better said: I hope) our Front Office has double checked Vick's injury history.
That said, I'm starting to believe Tomlin got better news than us, and this absence will be short. Otherwise, they would have started looking for a 3rd QB, which Tomlin said we aren't looking for.

Either that, or they are looking for a backup, under the radar.

 

chase daniels is available?

 

Well somebody in the front office liked "Dirty" enough to draft him in RD4.....We have to dress him. Hes our #2 now. AND I AINT HAPPY ABOUT IT!!!!

 

Did Colbert not return your call on Mettenberger?

 

They can revamp the offense for Vick ... then re-revamp it back if Vick gets injured.

 

...

 

Ben's gonna shock everybody and be back ahead of schedule has been through worst.

 

That was from yesterday wasn't it!? I remember seeing him standing there shaking his head. LOL!

 

I won't. My wife already knows about all my free time and has finally just learned to live with it. LOL.

 

Tebow would be better than Vick

 

if we do look to get another qb while ben is down, i'd consider mike kafka.

no new qb as of presser.

 

Wasting your time here, LJones is the new backup QB for the steelers until Ben returns and may even stay the backup if he fills in for vick at some point and does well.....

Never seen so much crazy talk about quarterbacks before, hell, call Bradshaw up thats as stupid as the favre murphy threads, obviously very little knowledge about QBs here on this board, reminds me of fans screaming for Bradshaws head his first 3-4 years here, he was throwing so many picks fans hated him, he was a pick machine through out his career pretty much....

 

This. He even alluded to as much in an interview with ESPN today - only ruling out this week.

 

diamond , you need to read slowly. nobody said murphy is going to play over vick or landry jones. we all know that's the pecking order so quit acting so high and mighty about that fact. all the tyler murphy thoughts were about him being the now 3 rd string arm instead of bringing in someone from outside the organization while ben is out. nothing more than an emergency qb just in case. we have in recent years gone to our 3rd qb so it's not out of the question to have 3 available. he's been in the meetings in preseason and at least had a couple of packages during that time so he would at least be familiar with some things. it's far from stupid. it's actually pretty smart and much cheaper than an outside player. when ben is back then he can go back to the PS.

lets also not forget noll used to bench him all the time for those picks. noll even started joe gilliam and hanratty at times, yea diamond we were clueless just like chaz noll back then. who knew at the time he would end up that good even when his head coach didn't?
