QB rumor on 980...

celts32 · 11-13-2006, 10:10 PM

Yes, Bulger is having a great year and they have no backup groomed....rediculous rumor.

STL would never let bulger go, and bulger would NOT accept a backup role when he could start for at least 20 teams.

he's a good QB, but we nee to at least see campbell before worrying about that an the cap cost would be insane... unless we didn't feel the need to have a functional defense.

Bulger as a backup... that is really hilarious.

Hey why not just trade for Peyton and put him on the bench too!

It's no more halarious than the person that started the rumor. It's not likely he'd consider coming here as a back up, I think we all would concede to that, but that's the only way I would consider having him. Him saying no thanks to that would be what I would expest. Nothing gained, nothing lost.

It wont be Bulger they bring in if JC flops, it will be Trent Green.

thats insane. campbell has to play we have invested way too much into him to bring in another veteran qb. If you ask me the qb the skins should covet if they are going to try to get one is matt schaub who is vicks backup in atlanta. pretty sure he is a free agent at seasons end.

I'd guess Schaub would want to be a starter somewhere though, wouldn't he?

Of course he is going to want to be a starter, and some team is definitely going to want to bring him in as a starter.

I think it's funny that people think we can bring in these starting quality QBs and put them behind Campbell. That's not reality for a variety of reasons.

I agree. What makes anyone think they are tied to Campbell? He has been 3rd string until now. The only reason he is getting a chance is because the season is over.

As far as the "we have made an investment". We invested draft picks. Those mean absolutely nothing to this team.

This is Campbell's chance. If he shows that he is effective, than there is a possibility that he will be the starter next year. If he is so-so than I guarantee they will bring in one of Saunders old guys (if Saunders stays) or another veteran QB. My biggest fear is that Brunell remains on the roster next year because that would be way to tempting for Joe to bring him in when the starter struggles.

I am not convinced we have seen the last of MB this season.

Campbell has 7 starts to show that we can move forward with him. I think as long as he's not a disaster he'll be the starter next year. I hope and pray Campbell leaves nothing up for debate. I really hope he comes in and takes hold of the starting job and never looks back.

I'm saying if the skins get Trent Green he comes here as the starter.

I get that, I was talking about the people that think guys like Bulger would come here as a backup.

You are correct, no way that happens.

MTK · 11-14-2006, 10:23 AM

I'm not so sure that he's hurt or if he's just 37 and fighting against a broken down body.
