Actually Schaub didn't really prove much in Atlanta. In any case the advantage of all these guys (Schaub, Kolb, Flynn) is that they've been in the league learning how to play NFL football so the unknown with them should still be more reliable than the unknown of a rookie. That's why they usually cost more than we'd expect from what we've seen.

Yea I was gonna say all shuab really proved was if Vick goes down they are comfortable enough for shuab to hold it down until Vick came back.

I don't think GB can get a 1st because they have no leverage but I could see GB def getting a 2nd if they Tag him.

Kolb had that one good game against the Saints when Vick was hurt.

I think it was against ATL, when Robinson rocked Jackson. "Black Sunday" as they called it, the one that prompted the league to institute an emergency policy about head shots and the like.

Re: 2012 Free Agency/Offseason Movement Thread

I'm confused as to why Kolb is suddenly the standard for a bad QB signing in free agency after one season playing behind the worst O-line in the league. I'm not saying he's the guy they hope he will be or anything, but these things take time.. Matt Schaub was very mediocre when he got to Houston if I remember right and he's developed into a franchise QB. (That could depend on who you ask though..)

Eagles are open to listening to trade offers for free agent wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who is expected to be franchised."

No one wants to comeback to the massive rebuilding project the Colts are about to undertake. Manning made up for soo much an unless Luck comes out playing great right away then its going ti be awhile.

That's why I don't understand why Manning wants to go back.

Colts need that money to fill in SO MANY voids they will have. They have a few players that might be able to play in a 3-4, but they basically have to sign/draft a entire front-7 and depth and pother positions

Can't say I blame Garcon. He is pretty much on his last big contract. If you think you can get more money in the open Market might as well go for it.

How old is Garçon? 35? Last contract?

I'm saying that 1 year isn't long enough to throw in the towel on him. Maybe they paid a bit too much, but saying he's a lost cause after 1 season behind that o-line is a bit extreme if you ask me. People seem to forget that things still take time in the league.

Packers WR Donald Driver will take a paycut to remain on the team but will likely release T Chad Clifton, according to Yahoo Sports.
