SMC Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Is he going to cut down on the cheeseburgers? Can they do a weight clause like they did with Jenkins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 He'd be a good backup but you just cannot rely on him as a starter. The guy's made of glass. He makes Pennington (Who Ironically also went to Marshall) look like Brett Favre when it comes to durability. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GandWFan Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Byron Leftwich He played very well when Ben went down this year I would take him over KC and ratliff has 1 more year to learn What does Ratliff need to learn for 1 more year? He has been in the offense for 2 years now. If he does not get it now, he never will. If he is going to be "the one" he needs live action to grow, not classroom study and holding a clipboard.

RoadFan Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Have you ever really watched him? The guy has a pitcher's wind-up. He has the slowest release I've ever seen. It takes him an hour to get rid of the ball. Hell No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afosomf Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 I watched the games he played in and im still not convinced. He moved the chains and has a strong arm He is better than KC and he will be cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHJF Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 He moved the chains and has a strong arm He is better than KC and he will be cheap I still see Clemens as an unknown quantity, to a point. What I remember of him from 2007 was a lot of dropped passes vs. a lot of well-thrown balls. In other words, his stats weren't helped by his receivers or the running game.

I'm not looking forward to more Schottenheimer. They'll all be on even footing unless Captain Geritol comes back to sell some more shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECURB Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Leftwich will be cheap... has experience... and is better than Clemens and Ainge... I wouldnt mind seeing him brought in to compete and play if needed... (if Ratlif winds up sucking) I doubt the new coach will keep Ainge... and you cant have 3 young guys... so either they cut 2 current Qbs and draft a young guy and bring in a vet... or they cut one young guy and bring in a vet... This is all based on Favre not being here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets trade him to a team not in the norris div. and try and get something back for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minn would give up something for him if the JETS can do it... so would CHI I would think... I hope he just goes away... time to move on...
