I was saying it would be Lindley all day yesterday because he made the most sense. Lindley knows the system and is familiar with the receivers. I wouldn't be shocked that if in a week or two he becomes Stantons backup.

Personally I feel Lindley had a better training camp than Thomas. But that is to be expected because he had been in the system for an entire year and Thomas was so raw coming out of college. The main reason Thomas made the team over Lindley is his potential a few years down the road.

While I can't judge who had a better Training Camp between Lindley and Thomas, I can remind you how awful Lindley continued to be in NFL games including pre-season games since he was drafted because he threw a "beautiful ball" per Whisenhunt.

Even though Lindley has been exposed to BA's offense for several years, Lindley graphically proved once again in his last NFL action (pre-season game) that he cannot execute at the NFL level.

Seems like a nice guy and family man, but other than being an emergency stop-gap option, his life in football next year likely will be in coaching kids unless he has a hundreds-fold improvement in recognizing and reading defenses, improving his decision making on when and who to pass to, and greatly improving on his NFL and college career completion average of just under 50%.

Wonder if BA and Tom Moore would consider a complete NFL QB makeover project with Tim Tebow to be worth their time and effortt? If anyone could transform and develop Tebow into a legit NFL QB, it would be them.

Everyone get's to have their opinion but...........

BASK goes from being great with next man up to idiots for bringing back Lindley? Really?

I'm going to be happy with this move like I am with 97% of BASK's decisions since they are.....like.....having the best record in the entire NFL. Especially since they have weathered a ton of injuries and are playing a rather difficult schedule.

So throw up in your mouth and consider BASK idiots or whatever, Class is class and winners are winners and conversely whiners are whiners.

this post is a little harsh, but i agree with the sentiment. Lindley knows the system and everyone else out there on the QB market is garbage.

Just a little harsh, I gotta step up my game. :)

On a scale of 1 to 10 how do you rate BA or SK or Michael Bidwill?

I'm at a 9 or ten for all of them so yes, I get a little agitated with posters getting all nasty etc about the Lindley signing. 8 - 1 record with 3 captains on IR and playing in the NFCW and .........well we all know how crazy tough this season has been.

I'm at a 9 right now. Only way it could be ten is if they had somehow found any kind of pass-rusher/RB depth this last off-season.

they've been masters of turned chicken-ish into chicken salad this year.

Good point on the pass-rusher, counting solely on Old Abe wasn't the best of plans. The RB situation is also a good call on your part as we don't have anywhere near a decent stable at this point.

they gotta go pass-rusher some way, somehow either in FA or the first two rounds of next year's draft.

Someone they project to be an OLB pass rusher.

I say both FA and within the first two rds. CAP will be an issue for getting a big name FA pass rushers so I figure another Old Abe type signing and then drafting one as well. It's not like we couldn't use two pass rushers,
