This is a different situation. It’s similar to the Ravens, who basically have three young guys, because Kyle Boeller is still young. If you’re not going to win now, and the guy isn’t going to be your long-term QB, and you don’t have a long-term QB, at least finalized yet…what good is it to keep him around? Especially at his price tag. And guys like Leftwich and Simms have leadership ability. Damon just doesn’t make sense–we got rid of all the other vets except for basically Chiefs HoFers (Tony, Will and Donnie), so why does Huard get to stick around? Pat Surtain is still here because we’d lose so much money if we cut him, and he can mentor the young guys.

I don’t realistically think that either. But it solidifies my point, eh? You keep a veteran backup around for when your starter goes down, and you need an experienced hand guiding your ship. To go with 3 guys that all have less than 3-4 years of experience, is pretty whack. You talked about leadership and Brodie maybe not having it; how is the team going to be led by a 2nd/3rd string rookie/2nd year man? There’s a reason veteran QB’s are the consensus backups in the league.

Ew, why would you eat crow? I mean I don’t even think crow is really considered an edible bird.
