The Official Warpath Sign Tim Rattay and Cut Todd Collins Thread

If he became available, what do you all think about Charlie Frye as a young backup? He's taken a beating in Cleveland, but under the right tutelage he might be ok.

No thanks. I don't think he has a strong enoough arm nor is he a very accurate passer.

Does Rattay have a stronger arm than Frye? I mean maybe he does

To expand that a little bit further, what back-up QB would fit Saunders offense the best?
1) Strong arm strength but not good on reads/immobile? Kyle Boller, Aaron Brooks, Drew Bledsoe(?)
2) Mid-range on arm strength and decent on his reads? Charlie Frye, Todd Bouman, Cleo Lemon(?)
3) Average-only arm strength but great decision making? Brunell, Collins, Trent Green (?)

I'm sure the players I listed aren't exact fits for the limited categories I provided but it's just something to get started with.

Saunders' system, like every other system, would benefit from having the best QB in there. Style is all relative to talent. Those who make the best reads/decisions are the best quarterbacks. Those who make poor reads/decisions aren't any good at all.

Of that list, Brunell and Trent Green are the only guys who should still be playing in this league. Maybe in a few years, Lemon can be a backup, but that's about it.

I think so. Frye throws like crap. He looks like a HS QB. I'm not sure how he made it to the pros.
