Are NFL teams really this desperate? Keep bringing back the old guys?

Why not Troy Aikman? heh

He couldn’t do any worse than what they have now. That Sunday night game was horrible.......Eli wasn’t much better, either...........

Maybe Kurt Warner could return to St Louis.

It’s become a passing league. If you have a quality QB, you have a chance, if you don’t, you’re out.

The Browns started Hoyer for 3 games, and the offense looked like an NFL caliber offense. Hoyer got hurt, Weeden went back in, and the offense looked like they couldn’t move the ball if there was no defense against them.

NFL QB is an incredibly hard job, and there aren’t many people that can do it.

I sort of miss the days of the grind it out running games, but those days are long gone.

This was mentioned on a Cleveland newscast last night. The sportscaster seemed to be suggesting that it isn't a bad idea.

Cleveland Browns, what can I say, after spending all those years living not far from the Patriots stadium? Cleveland still complains about Bill Belichek and how awful he was when he was here.

It seems that at halftime, when other teams go to the locker room and find a way to win, the Browns go in there and figure out a way to lose. They couldn't do any worse if they went a few miles down the road to Glenville HS on the east side and asked the sports director if he knew of some former players who didn't get to the pros.

What's really sad is the fans seem to accept it, in an odd sort of way.

Roger Staubach is still available. Someone should call him.

Today is Y.A. Tittle's birthday. I'll bet he'd don the pads once again. He's only 93.

Garcia was a poor QB who had 2 good years. The Browns aren’t that desperate yet.

Don’t agree with this article in full but some general points are valid as others have alluded to, teams are hard-up for top quarterbacks. There are very few.

According to recent reports, it doesn't look like the Brown, nor the Vikings, answered Garcia's proposal.

If anyone needs an extra comma I found a couple just lying around.

I remember when Bradshaw retired and they tried to get him to come back - he said he noticed that nobody was chasing him or knocking him down in the broadcast booth.

Vince Young is available. Nobody loves washed up QBs more than Minnesota.

He should be calling the Rams. Or the Buccaneers.
