Third year in a row we're tempting fate with Cooper "noodle arm" Rush. You'd think Jerry would've learned from the Laughenberg fiasco.

Why would he do that when he could step in and start for other teams?
'Stepping in and starting' doesn't seem to be that easy right now.

Winston couldn't find any takers and is now playing for peanuts for the Saints, and Cam Newton is out there already unable to find a job.

It looks to me like teams have made their decisions.

Winston is a different case. You have to want to start a retard. I think Dalton is a little more serviceable.

The Pats make perfect sense for Dalton. Honestly the only thing that could prevent it is Belichick's ego

there was an absolute glut of QBs on the market this spring. no valid reason why we couldn't have improved on Rush.

Rush gets a lot of hate. Not saying I like the guy but he has never played a meaningful snap. He has done well in preseason. I mean the guy will never be a starter but we don't really know that he is an ultra shitty backup either.

Most backups people like are backups because they got their shot and were awful. Not sure if a guy who has never gotten a shot is any worse.

They aren't going to pay for a backup.

they can find the money for Crawford but not a credible backup for the most important position on the field. gotcha.
