Great, unrealistic options: Tim Tebow, Kurt Warner, Brett Favre, Rex Grossman, permanent-Patrick Peterson

Realistic, disappointing options: Dennis Dixon (played in Arians' offense before), John Skelton (was in offseason camp, I believe). None of the available options, including Thomas and Lindley, are the least bit appetizing. Please be OK, Drew.

Fun fact, the first result for "John Skelton" on Wikipedia is a circa-1500 English poet.

edit: reports are saying sprained ACL and Grade 2 MCL sprain. What would that be, 2-4 weeks?

Jake the Snake

JAKE THE SNAKE

JAKE THE SNAKE

The crowd goes wild as Jake Plummer runs onto the field; his flowing locks billow dramatically as he takes a lap around the field eating up the applause. "This is it!" he thinks. "This is the year I take the Cards to the Super -"

The sound of the alarm clock is especially cruel this morning. That wretched sound amplifies his throbbing headache. After he pushes empty beer bottles out the way to turn off the alarm clock, he notices the TV is still on. Sportscenter is still talking about some scrub named Doug Stanton spraining a MCL... blah, blah, blah this kid just has a sandy vagina. "I coulda played through it," Jake says to himself. Besides Derrick Stanton is a terrible name for a quarterback. It sounds like a porn star's name.

One of the beers still has a couple swigs left in it. Jake might as get a head start on making sure he forgets his most recent dream.



Edit: Dear god when looking him up I found this

quote:

On March 23, 1997, Plummer was accused of fondling three women at the Tempe, Arizona night club, Club Rio. The women stated to police that Plummer reached under their skirts and down their pants while dancing with them and consuming alcohol. When one of the women objected, he allegedly kicked her in the leg. Plummer was formally charged on May 28, 1997, with felony sexual abuse. He later struck a plea bargain, received two years probation, was also fined $1,020, and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.[17]

Actually the cardinals are like top ten in sacks allowed with only 22 on the year. Palmer blew his knee just stepping up in the pocket, and Stanton was injured on the only sack or QB hit given up in the whole game to the Rams' vaunted pass rush.

it would be a solid position to step into for any qb for a number of reasons: good D, good O-line, good skill position players, good staff, and coming in just in time for an essentially guaranteed playoff berth. playing for a max of 6 games and a decent shot at a ring has to look good to somebody

Lindley has 181 career pass attempts with zero TDs. Does anyone know a way to look up whether there are any QBs with more career pass attempts and zero TDs? I did find that Bobby Hoying in 1998 was the only QB to have a season with more pass attempts than Lindley's 2012 and zero TDs.

didn't he also play that game on 0 reps after being named the starter like a day before the game? I mean I doubt he's any good but he also got like the rawest deal on his starts

That's definitely possible because Whiz was juggling Skelton/Lindley after Kolb went down, but he had started the previous game and it was the 4th game he played in that year.

He's actually perfect for Arians' offense. His only pass is the bomb, and Arians' one true love is the deep pass. Arians could finally eliminate runningbacks altogether and add another receiver if he had a half-back-qb hybrid who was only accurate 35+ yards downfield
