I would call Brett Favre and see if he wanted to come out of retirement before I'd consider any of the players on Rabid's list.

Or, if you didn't mind giving up a draft pick, maybe consider calling the Redskins to inquire about Kirk Cousins?
Maybe we could just put multiple RBs in at the same time and run the wishbone?

Realistically though, I'd imagine that Clemens will be the guy going forward if Bradford is out for any time.

They'll have to bring in someone obviously, but I don't know who. All the talk about bringing in Tebow, I think, is stupid. Not the people bringing it up - just the idea. You don't change your entire offense to suit one player. You just don't. At worst, your bring in someone that can play within the scheme, and you take away half the playbook. If Bradford is hurt, our entire season rests on Clemens, and that's not good.

So, if I had to choose from the above lot of meh, I'd take Vince Young I guess.
And I wouldn't even be thrilled about that. But at least he can operate with half a field and run.

No you don't. And you know in your heart of hearts that it will never happen.

VY was one of the reasons why Fisher is no longer coaching the Titans. I don't think there is any realistic chance of him being a Ram as long as Fisher is the head coach.

As i stated earlier i give V.Young a call. Stay balanced,lean on Stacy,throw to our TE's,protect the football, and go deep on PA occasionally. Young still has a cannon arm. Keep it simple with a chance for big plays still.

Clemens isn't even capable of being a game managing QB. He will either kill you with turnovers or get killed himself.

You cannot change the offense midseason with the youth we've got here.
You think our offense is one dimension now? Lol at bringing in Tebow.

Why bring in some mediocre QB that has to learn an offense. May as well roll with Clemens. We're going to lose a big share of games regardless, sadly. :/

I say we give Matt Leinart a ring, he has the most talent out of all the free agent QBs... Unfortunately.

What if we brought in the highest rated CFL QB and gave him a shot?

Dieter Brock 2.0 anyone?

Might as well, it's the only one he'll ever get in his life.

Unfortunately, Joe Germaine was able to only win 1 SB ring with the Rams, too.

We could start Hekker at QB and just run fake punts until they catch on.

Trade for kirk cousins

Not that I'd advocate for Cousins, per se, but some other young backup QB or a practice squad raid could be an interesting idea that I hadn't thought about until this post.

I wouldn't give shit to that team. It's not a bad idea, but the Redskins deserve nothing.
