QB and what MHR wants? 2.0

by Bron#1 Fan on Feb 19, 2012 7:56 AM MST

In the 1st part the poll cam out as the following: 29% for 2nd tier guy and Brady Quinn; 17% for late round draft pick; 12% for top draft pick and 11% for veteran guy like Gerrard or Campbell. So for those of you that picked any thing but Quinn and 2nd tier, you will have to pick something else this time around. Lets jump into some names.

Brady Quinn has been thrown around because he knows the system, but he might also want out of down? Who knows. Brady has started 12 career games, and won only 3 of them, but that was with Cleveland so how much stock cn we hold in that...jk...but not really. His career coompletion pct. in a whooping 52.1%. He has a TD to Interception ratio of 10-9. And a QB rating of 66.8. He has never started for our mighty Broncos, so the jury is still out on Brady.

Dennis Dixon has only played in 4 games, starting 3 of them. He has a record of 2-1. His career completion pct. is 59.3. He has a TD/Int. ration of 1-2. And a Qb rating of 71.4. He has been stuck behind both Roethlisberger and BAtch for 4 years know. Maybe Denver can offer more playing time for this 1 time Duck.

Josh Johnson has played in 26 games and started 5 of them. Unfortunately he has never won a game in which he started. He completes 54.2% of his passes, and has a TD/Int. ratio of 1-2(5-10). His QB rating is 40.1. He does run good with ball(37-254(6.9)-0

David Carrs name has come up, this is for you Zac Man. With 92 career games, and 79 of them being starts, he definitley has the expeince we are looking for. In those 79 starts he has a record of 23-46 with his best year being 2004 at 7-9. He has not started a game since 2007. Has played 3 of the last 4 years in NY with the Giants. He completes 59.7% of his passes and has a TD/Int. ratio of 65-71. A career QB rating of 74.9 makes him a very intriguing prospect to back up Timmy.

Jeff Garcia is another name being mentioned around here. Hasn't played since 2009, but was signed last year by Houston. He is only 42 years old so he should stil have some tread left right? Has 125 games of NFL experience and has started 116 of those games. HAs won and lost 58 games in those 116 starts. Completes 61.6% of his passes and has a TD/Int. ratio of 161-83. His career QB rating stands at 87.5. Also could intice TO to come to Denver, so Zac Man I just had to. Don't know how mush he has left, but could be a great asset for Timmy in his learning how to read D's.

Those are the big 5 that have been mention around he lately. But if you have others pleases list them in the comment section. Go Broncos and have a great day!!!

Garcia! Garcia!

I would like to see Jeff Garcia come to denver. Even though he is 42, he still has some juice left in him. He used to be a scrambling QB, so he would be a good mentor for Tim Tebow and Adam Weber as well as a decent back up. He would be and upgrade from Brady Quinn. I also believe we will only need him a short time (1 to 2) years before Adam Weber is ready to back up.

I would like to see us

forget a veteran. If you look at our schedule next year, I do not anticipate a big year for the Broncos and we would do better to get a good 2nd/3rd round pick to go along with Weber and just keep building our team. I would love for the team to make a move forward and we might but I dont see it being reflected in our win/loss record. Be patient Bronco fans and continue to build this team from the bottom up with younger/faster/stronger guys and we will be a contender in the future. Hurry this up? and I think we are a perpetual middle to lower middle of the pack team.

We've got as good of a shot as anybody else in the league

I think we can improve on 8-8 even with a tougher schedule. If we can pick up a good DT, CB, and MLB (hopefully Nate Irving is already that guy) our defense will be even better. If we can pick up a good RB with fresher legs, a WR who can consistently catch the ball, and some offensive line depth we’re only going to get better on offense. I don’t think we’re looking at a period of perpetual mediocrity.

I love your optimism

I just think we are still 1 good draft and the experience those players will get this year away from being a good team. You can not have that many games you give up 30+ points and lose like we did. You have to compete game after game. We do need more from our MLB or a new one if Irving cannot pay and I am thinking he might not be able to or he surely would have been on the field instead of Mays. We have got to develop plays for our TE’s and running backs in the passing game rather than have them blocking.

You also have keyed in on one of my biggest concerns which is depth throughout the team. Our backups at most postions are training camp fodder for the better teams in this league. We need real depth.

I like the fact...

that EFX acknowledges they need better talent and back ups…its just a matter of how they intend to execute to their plan to improve. IF – they spend wisely in FA – which they say will be “value” in FA to upgrade and draft well and when Tim improves – they should be really competitive – I think if they wanted to win it all now, they would buy a few big ticket FAs…BUT they know these guys often dont pan out or live up to their billing…meanwhile they rebuild without using that word…actions will tell all, we may not know though moves they try to make that dont go through…

What is your problem?

We have a guy named Tim Tebow. Heard of him? Ya well he is young, and to draft a young QB would be a waste. We have bigger needs and the young QB would never start a game in his career unless Tim Tebow got hurt.

by Bleedorange on Feb 19, 2012 1:15 PM MST up reply actions

My problem

is that long term, as much as I root for it to happen that Tebow turns out to be a great QB, I have serious doubts. Also, it is insurance, If we have a good young QB and Tebow does pan out, you can trade him, if not then you dont have to start from scratch.

by kimbertr on Feb 19, 2012 1:23 PM MST up reply actions

Or it creates a QB controversy and splits a locker room

It would be much smarter to build the team around Tebow, get a quality young veteran backup with a similar skill set like Dennis Dixon, and draft a late round developmental QB with a ton of upside like B.J. Coleman, Kellen Moore, or Chandler Harnish.

Dennis Dixon in a landslide!

Jeff Garcia is way past his prime while Brady Quinn and David Carr are completely irrelevant. Josh Johnson would be a great second choice.

I agree with this 100 percent,

The best thing about Dixon is that he can play the same style that Tebow does. We wouldn’t need to revamp the whole offense if he had to come into the game.

I want a mentor type guy. So I favor Garcia or Carr over another tebow type.

I’d love Pennington if he was healthy.

Can you find the 'W' in this mess? Tebow can.

by Zac Man on Feb 19, 2012 9:42 AM MST reply actions

But we already have the ultimate mentor in Elway if he will actually work with Tebow.

I would much prefer to see someone come in who can play the same offense Tebow does. As for Garcia and Carr specifically, Garcia is ancient. And Carr was sacked so much in Houston that his body is probably not much better than Garcia’s. I can’t help thinking that if we signed either of those guys and Tebow went down for any extended period of time, we would be scrambling to bring in another qb, any qb to replace the backup who would likely be injured before they had played two full games.

Never let them see you bleed.

Oh yeah. Trust David Carr.

What has David Carr ever done to make you think he’s qualified to mentor anybody?

I say Dixon or Quinn

I am a bear of very little brains and big words bother me.

Isn't Garcia like 59...

AARP has to be sending him letters by now….NO THANKS.

by JuiceIsLoose on Feb 19, 2012 11:44 AM MST reply actions

Jason Campbell :). He'll probably only go somewhere where he can be a starter though.

Of this list I’d prefer Dixon or Garcia.

Tim Tebow wears 3WM and drinks Tuscan whole milk.

Kinda funny nobody has mentioned David Garrard much...

Garrard took off the whole season to repair a herniated disc in his back and should be back to healthy by this spring, and he has ties to JDR our new DC. He would have to have the pretence of knowing he will back up Tebow and be ready to start in case needed. Draft BJ Coleman in the 4-5th rd and develop him with Weber and may the best man win for the 3rd spot…

Other is a perennial All-Pro

why would you not want him?
I’d even bet we can get him for the league minimum with no signing bonus.
