This team will not get it done with Lindley. PERIOD.

There is nobody they are going to pull off the street who is going to do much better. No one can win it all with a 3rd string QB, and anyone who is signed is 3rd string at best.

I would argue that almost any veteran QB you pull off the street is going to be better than Lindley. I didn't say by much......but......he sucks and shouldn't even be on a roster IMO.

I don't see how Tebow would be a bad idea. A great leader and even better teammate. QB skills? Bad but they aren't much or any worse than Lindley and maybe even Stanton.

Jake or Tebow is better than Lindley at this point.

Tebow is garbage. No thanks.

And, just for fun, Jake's rights are owned by Tampa Bay.

About Tebow this is pretty funny stuff...

I’m not saying Tebow is this wonderful quarterback or anything — you definitely don’t want to take Tom Brady off the field to get him the ball — but I am saying that my eyes tell me an offense designed with him running the option would be more effective than one that necessitates Ryan Lindley’s receivers to be giraffes.

made me LOL anyways.

Where is Terelll Pryor at these days?

Oddly enough, they were talking about him on either NFL or ESPN radio this morning. I was listening to both stations off and on this morning and can't remember which. Their opinion was he should just convert to wide receiver and he'd find a job.

Probably more accurate then what we have now and he adds the ablity to run.

I said before, considering the cast of stiffs still working in this league, giving Tebow a chance isn't all that bad an idea. I mean, Derek Anderson is going to start for Carolina. But the reason why Tebow is being blackballed is because of politics and not because of his skill or lack thereof.

Skelton is backing up somewhere? I still think Matt Leinart is the best passer available, Be nice to trade for a QB of the future, Is Matt Barkley around?

I would give up a 3rd for Denvers back up.

I believe that would make me the best passer because I would pass on him with extreme precision.

We aren't getting another QB. Not to play anyway, we may get someone as a bandaid, maybe.

But this is what we have folks. We're playing the rest of the season with Lindley. Going into the playoffs with Lindley or Stanton. That's what it is.

If you had told me before the season started I'd have been horrified. After saying, "What, playoffs?" then I'd be like OMG seriously, with these QB's. Then I'd be shocked that we'd won games with Stanton. Another game with Lindley.

This is storybook stuff. Little kid stuff. All injured and destroyed, going into the playoffs with a badass record, 1st and 2nd QB goes down, everyone hating, coach of the year, no pro bowlers on the team, win a playoff game, win two, going to the SB, Stanton returns, wins SB. Dream.

As an interesting thought experiment: Go through the teams currently in playoff spots today.

Try to imagine where they would be if: they lost their starting qb for 8 of the 14 games played thus far. Of the 6 games played with the backup, the third qb had to finish 2 of them.

Well, last season the Packers were 5-2 when Rogers went down and went 2-5-1 and barely scraped into the playoffs. And we have anecdotal evidence that NE can get buy with a backup. If Seattle lost Wilson they're toast. Losing Stafford would sink the Lions. Eagles are doing fine sans Foles. Every NFC South and AFC North team would be toast. Honestly, I don't see any of the other contenders having this kind of success without their #1.

It appears our plan is just like Sunday was, run, run, run some more and try to beat people with great defense and field goals.
