He now has a year experience sitting on the bench, he should know the playbook and if he practices enough he should have a good showing. Booty could be a long term investment, but try developing him now. He will take his bump and bruises but it'll be a learning experience. Even if he plays "alright" Minny should be able to make up for his mistakes, much like the Ravens did for Flaccos mistake. I don't have a problem with them looking at a FA QB but none of them stick out.
They might of saw something, but so far it isn't working out. If a QB isn't working out in fucking practice, how the hell is he going to transition to the game? At least the Cassel's and Romo's looked decent. T Jack and Gus Ferotte were called upon and playing horrendously and the name John David Booty was never even thought about or thrown out that. That obviously means he isn't ready and won't be for awhile.
They need to get someone with experience if they want to get to the NFC title game of Super Bowl.
For the simple fact that Jackson wasn't the answer, let him go elsewhere or let him leave the game. He's already demonstrated that he has no leadership ability, and all the other little intangibles that make a good QB. Gus is up there in Age, so you need to get younger, and there isn't an easier way to get younger outside of the NFL draft. I could see if Pennington was available but he isn't. Take a chance, it isn't like they could be much worse than anyone else on the teamIf Booty was as good and deserved a shot as much as you make him out to, then why would you draft another young QB?
[QUOTE="The Hardcore Legend" Christian Battlez;878938]I'd have no problem with Booty but we still need to draft someone just in case. We have no blaring needs right now. Except QB so I say we take a chance on Nate Davis. Draft a WR and a young Center since Birk is getting up there. Other than that. I think Leftwich did pretty good last year in relief of Big Ben and while Culpepper may not be as good as Roethlisberger he still has alot to give. Remember he hurt his knee not his arm.[/QUOTE]
Culpepper benefited from having a great receiver in Minny. Anywhere outside of a dome, he was atrocious. He isn't as mobile as he once was, so Culpepper is pretty useless in todays NFL.
I don't know how to fix your problem, but obviously Jackson isnt the answer. Try Derek Anderson, after last years shit performance his stock can't be that high. He is still pretty young, and you need a young QB for a long term investment. Look at most teams in the NFL who have shots at winning. The Steelers have a young QB, The Giants have a young QB, The Bolts have a young QB, and several other teams have Qbs who can go for a while.

As has been stated, there's not point in taking a risk on a young QB that hasn't even looked good when you're a decent QB away from being a legit contender.
Leftwich sticks out with what he's done in Pittsburgh, would be a upgrade over T Jack and has experience. Derek Anderson should probably get another look elsewhere. I'd take either one of them right now over a young QB who's looking awful.
McNabb and Philly are having a rocky relationship. Call them.
If T Jack doesn't have a heavy contract, I'd just keep him around as a 2nd or 3rd stringer, shitcan Ferotte, pick up another QB and keep Booty.
Makes things easier, and there'd be a pick you could trade...

I say we go with Cassel,Leftwich,Vick,or Garcia.
Cassel: Pros-Young,Mobile,Accurate,fits our system. Cons- Lacks starter experience.
Leftwich: Pros-Good Arm, experience as starter.Cons-Immobile,Hasn't proven himself as a great QB for the long haul.
Vick: Pros-Great Athlete,Great Arm, Playoff experience. Cons-Rust from being away from the game,criticism of accuracy.
Garcia: Pros-Accurate,Mobile,fits system.Cons-Old,criticism of arm strength.
All better than Jackson.
Damn, I forgot all about Garcia. Would be a nice fit considering he usually steps in, leads and wins. Arm strength won't be that huge anyway, he'd just need to step in and manage the game, sorta like what Collins did for Tenn. Peterson ftw.
Though if McNabb wants out of Philly, I know the Vikes will be all over that.

Josh Booty is the only Booty in the NFL worth backing up and getting behind. John David Booty is just too flat and not big enough to satisfy coaches and fans. They need a Booty that is fabulous enough to grab and stick to, no matter how hard the coaches and fans are at staying excited for a Booty that is just having trouble getting it done.
Seriously though, I don't understand why Aaron Brooks doesn't get another shot with someone. He's still young enough to pull some things off. Also, I agree with Brian about Nate Davis. Someone should definitely give that motherfucker a shot.

You speak the truth
1.) Jim Brown
2.) Barry Sanders
3.) Emmit Smith
4.) Walter Payton
5.) LaDainian Tomlinson
I wouldn't even rank LT in the top five. He doesnt have the ability to carry a team on his back. He is nothing but a coward. My list would be
Jim Brown
Barry Sanders
Walter Payton
Emmitt Smith
Eric Dickerson
Jerome Bettis
Anthony Dorsett
Curtis Martin
Marshall Faulk
Marcus Allen
Jim Brown
Barry Sanders
Walter Payton
Emmitt Smith
Eric Dickerson
Jerome Bettis
Anthony Dorsett
Curtis Martin
Marshall Faulk
Marcus Allen
lulz, LT is the best RB of this generation and one of the best all around backs to ever play the game and you're going to rank those guys above him. Unbelievable. Watch LT return to old form without a lingering injury and you'll probably be all over him like nothing ever happened 
But noooooo Wes, it's all about what you do in the playoffs, god only knows the 16 games before are irrelevant.

intangibles define a player, and Marshall Faulk was the more complete back. Marshall Faulk was gritty, wasn't a coward, could catch, could block, and his team could rely on him. Unlike LT. Who takes a seat on the bench when things aren't going his way. He did that against the Steelers this year in the playoffs and against the Pats a couple of years ago. Those backs I ranked ahead of them were team players, heavily relied on, and most of the success relied upon them. LT isn't needed to win anymore, they can do just fine with Sproles and Rivers at the helm.

LT has been hampered with injuries these last two years. If he can go back to his old form then he'll be fine. I still think AP is a better back right now at this point. But LT is better over the career. Oh and there is no way you can put Dorsett or Marcus Allen over LT. Curtis Martin should go over Jerome Bettis and Thurman Thomas is better than Marshall Faulk.
Curtis Martin isn't a better back. Jerome is one of the most underrated backs in history. He was a workhorse, a leader, and so much more. He was the man you can give the ball to every game and expect at least 80 yards. He was so powerful, you bring 8 in the box, The Bus still gained 3 or 4 yards. I can't say that about Curtis Martin. I don't think Thomas is better than Marshall Faulk. But I am going to bed, and i'll finish this later.
LT's been injured off and on the past two seasons but still played, dude is banged up. Are you seriously going to tell me all of that garbage when LT went years without missing a game (broke the record for most consecutive games for RB's in 2004, actually), hell that entire 6 year span and entry into the league IS the best of all time, take a look at all the accomplishments. But yeah, he's totally a coward for missing all but one regular season game his entire career.
Now onto this other mess, LT is strong, smart, has great escapability, can receive just as well as he can run, he can even throw and scores TD's like no other. On overall talent, LT is top 5. Fuck the playoffs and all that shit you bring up in every fucking argument. There's 16 games in the season before you even get there. You have no idea if he was being a "coward" or was really hurt. And I'm pretty sure he was hurt considering his numbers dropped off heavily.
LT isn't needed anymore? Yeah right, a healthy LT is the best back in the league. Sproles is too small to take a beating week after week as the #1 back, he's nothing more than a good #2 option.
