I like Harrell... but I guess I want a guy I feel has more upside. PS is for to take chances with a guy with good potential but not NFL ready. If everything went perfect for Harrell he'll be what? The next Jeff Garica? That's not bad at all... but in my mind someone with Tom Brady potential just seems like more worth taking a risk on.

Don't get me wrong potential doesn't mean much... other than in the draft... but a guy like say QB Kevin O'Connell has TONS of potential if Mike McCarthy can fix what ever his problem is (which I don't know what it is and yes I know some problems you just can't fix). But I think he's problem is mental and footwork (because he has all the physical talent (at least he did in the draft)). Mike McCarthy may not be able to fix the mental but the footwork he can fix and the mental problems may become fixable when the footwork is fixed.

But Mike McCarthy school might be just what he needs to upstart his career again.

Yeah, ideally by the time we need a new starting QB Harrell will be near the end of his playing years. However, the huge upside here is that if we can keep developing him, we can either trade him or Flynn for a lot more than we'd get for him now.

My point was a guy like QB Kevin O'Connell has more potential than Harrell and if Mike McCarthy could develop O'Connell they'd get a higher draft pick than they would of Harrell.

Thing is though, since McCarthy came in, how many QBs have been poached off our PS?

The only one I can think of is Brohm, but then it's because he's a 2nd rounder with (some semblance of) potential.

There was another one other than Borhm as well... but I can't remember his name.

And there was that guy Thompson draft that later got cut.... he picked up a couple other places. I'm not sure if was ever on the practice squad or not...

so basically 3?

Flynn gets traded to the Cardinals for a 3rd round pick before cut down's and we keep Graham Harrell!

It would be amusing -- though perhaps a little terrifying -- if Matt Leinart came to town to back up Aaron Rodgers.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game
