If you could have any back-up QB in the league, who would you take? - The Orange Mane

Taco John · 01-10-2007, 02:07 AM

Seems like a relevant discussion... Keep it to viable back-ups... Not people who are going to be starting next season.

DBroncos4life · 01-10-2007, 02:27 AM

Joey Harrington

SureShot · 01-10-2007, 02:28 AM

Matt Schaub.

footstepsfrom#27 · 01-10-2007, 02:28 AM

Jeff Garcia...wiley vet who's seen the pro bowl a couple times...played in similiar system...tearin' it up for Philly after McNabb went down...knows his place.

broncocalijohn · 01-10-2007, 02:51 AM

for 2007 I would say Jake Plummer!

Clockwork Orange · 01-10-2007, 02:52 AM

TrINT Green.

For back-up quarterbacks, I go:

1. Jeff Garcia
2. Jake Plummer
3. David Carr (/provided someone doesn't give him a starter role somewhere, which I kind of doubt)
4. Joey Harrington
5. Shaun King (with a shout out to -Slap-)
6. Tim Rattay

I hope Plummer stays

/Between the cap and Plummer's stated desire to find a starting job, I wouldn't get your hopes up. He'd be some great insurance for us, that's for sure.

Kaylore · 01-10-2007, 03:19 AM

For the Broncos? There's quite a few I'd like:

Jake Plummer
Brad Johnson
Koy Detmer (he can hold)
Kelly Holcomb
Damon Huard
Jon Kitna
Gus Ferotte
Mark Brunell - I think he'd be great.
Trent Dilfer
Charlie Batch

Vegas_Bronco · 01-10-2007, 03:37 AM

I'd pick the guy that doesn't fumble the snap on FG and extra points.

Imagine where the Broncos would be if Plummer was benched for Garcia.

(I guess crow mixed with crackers is kind of like a pie.)

Jim More Jr is gone. Atlanta's next HC gets to decide the direction Atlanta goes at the QB position.

Matt Schaub WILL be a Falcon next season.

Kaylore · 01-10-2007, 04:57 AM

I forgot to put down "me".

Would it be good for the team? Nope. Would it be good for me? Yup.

CBF1 · 01-10-2007, 04:59 AM

Brian Griese... it is always his fault

Odysseus · 01-10-2007, 05:05 AM

We should probably draft a guy whose already crippled and quarterbacks from an electric wheelchair. It would save the Broncos on paperwork and making any changes on the offensive line.

OrangeShadow · 01-10-2007, 07:29 AM

jeff garcia providing no one gives him a starting gig

Orange_Beard · 01-10-2007, 08:51 AM

Tim Rattay, he would come cheap and he can play.

Drek · 01-10-2007, 08:53 AM

Garcia, Carr, and even Plummer will be looking for potential starting chances, not a injury backup only type of role.

Personally I'd offer to take Kyle Orton off the Bears hands for a reasonable price (5th rounder?). He's got a powerful arm with experience out of the shotgun, so if Cutler is out we can keep the new vertical dimension of our offense in place. He's also got almost a whole season of starting snaps on a playoff team under his belt. As a QB he'd shown he can keep from losing games, I'd think he'd be even more up to the challenge with a better offensive unit and an extra season (though never playing) under his belt.

BABronco · 01-10-2007, 09:07 AM

Damon Huard. I was really impressed with what he did.

Jake Plummer is one of the best ball holders in the league; Elam loves him.
