I think I'd like Fisher to take a look at VY again

As a backup QB. Not sure if the terminology would directly translate from the titans to what Schotty does but c'mon, this guy had to be an upgrade to Clemens (not Clemons or Clemmons lol). I realize there is a history with fisher (not fischer) and Bud Adams and drafting this guy, possibly to Fisher's demise or at least conflict with the owner.

I was shocked at how good he played after the lay off, but....He scares the hell out of me.

Dr I totally get that but Clemens scares the hell out of me. Man, Clemens played lights out that last game of '11 against SF. He had me pretty excited about having something with him. I'm not typically a person fixated on the QB position, it's just an idea. I'm nervous about the backup QBs this year. Mainly because the Rams have finally built something here. Touch wood nothing happens but we're fucked completely if Bradford goes down. Don't get me wrong, I know there are other needs too. Just focusing on this one right now while watching VY for the second straight week. He also did ironically reach out to Fisher in the offseason

Honestly, I am more open to taking him than you could imagine.

I'd probably take him, unless Austin or Clemons do a complete 180, I really want to get a better backup QB.... A good backup QB is something you hope you never need, but you better have one

I'm with you on that one Dr. I think he could possibly be a decent back-up but his entire history makes me a bit sketchy. Plus you have idiots on Ramstalk that will be wanting Bradford benched if he doesn't throw for 398 yards and 4 TD every game.

I understand what you are saying but I will boycott that site if they grab him and be grateful we have someone better than Clemens

I'm not in favor of signing any Back up QB that doesn't have some upside. That would include VY.

Uh no.

SMRAM, you do realize that the only connection VY has with Fisher is that Fisher's owner Bud Adams made Fisher draft him against Fisher's will, then made Fisher play him, again, against Fisher's will. I'm sure the friction between Bud Adams and Fisher grew more intense with this disagreement, which probably led to Fisher leaving Tenn. However, that being said.................I just say no to VY.

I just don't see how exchanging one bad back up QB for another one, does us any good.

Agree.We can win just with Sam. If a backup QB is going to play we have no chances ... (Fisher's policy, maybe for the salary cap).

There are 3 good QBs in Houston, if they run with 2 I'd have either of the guys they cut loose over Clemens, Davis or Young.

I'd pass on VY. There will probably be a couple of QBs that don't make the cut that are better.
