I'll take Leftwich as the veteran retread. Hopefully he would only play if both Clemens and Ratliff suck.
Of all of the FA QB's I would rather have Leftwich. He should be healthy because he hasnt played alot so he should be pretty fresh and he can through the ball. If he sucks let him ride the bench and tutor the young guys.
Are you serious! Do you truely believe that statement. I would say he is on par with clemens but no way is the guy better. He would have stuck as a starter in his first 3 tries at it.
Don't know if this has been posted, but walterfootball.com (are they a trusted source?) rank Brett Ratliff as the #3 FA quarterback this year. http://walterfootball.com/freeagents2009QB.php
JETFAN, i've been waiting for over a week now for some of those post-it notes to fall off. i can't keep it up much longer...what gives?
Hell yes he's better. His completion percentage improved every year. He's not as bad as people make you think he is.
When the news about Brett coming to the Jets came out, I thought to myself that this would be a temporary experiment and we were once again not grooming a long term QB to lead our franchise. With Farves return still not known, we are still following our tried true position in terms of Quarter backing.....What ever works!!!!!!!!
Most Jets fans always jump to exaggerated, uninformed conclusions like this. If a player has a few bad games -- who cares how well he may have played before -- that's it, he's done. Don't even try to trade him -- just cut him. These Jets fans, you see, are really, really smart.
