Jackass Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Volek starts this year...or, at least until TEN is out of the hunt. Part of me wouldn't be surprised to see TEN bring in another aging vet as the #3 in case Volek got hurt where #3 would vault over #2 if Volek got hurt. VY may get a start or two towards the end of the year to give him and the coaches some film to teach off of in the offseason. I, personally, bet that they will bring VY along EXACTLY like they did SM. 1454997[/snapback] I think Ten is out of the hunt now. but they will bring vince along slowly.

Ursa Majoris Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 but they will bring vince along slowly. 1455020[/snapback] They'll have to make it slow and they'll have to keep it simple.

DMD Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 How does this potential signing help Derrick Mason's FF value? 1455110[/snapback] If there is one thing for certain to be a positive, it is that Mason will have a better year with McNair than Boller. Bank on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 $12 million???? For McNair??? He'll only be healthy for 9 games, tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I know I am on an island, but I was really encouraged with Boller's play down the stretch last year, and was looking for him to finally step it up and have a productive season. I don't see why bringing in an old, broken down McNair helps Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why bringing in an old, broken down McNair helps Baltimore. 1455177[/snapback] Boller's play down the stretch was spotty. Yes he had quality games against GB and MIN at home, but games at DEN and CLE were two of his worst ever. Bringing in McNair adds instant fire to the offense. McNair likely won't be healthy all year, so Boller will still get some play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 ...plus, Boller will have less pressure on him, and more chance to develop under McNair...which (ideally) would improve the duration of his career. I cannot think that any struggling young QB would be harmed by sitting behind a talented vet on the downside of his career for a year or two.

Savage Beatings Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I'm still not positive... does Mcnair automatically get the start in yoru opinion? I would think so, but if Boller is the QB of the future I don't know that they would want to bench him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 is there any reason why this wouldnt be considered tampering? I mean McNair is still under contract with Tenn or did i miss where Tenn gave him permission to look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably get another one at some point but this isn't like they're bringing along Carson Palmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the fact that they even brought in McNair probably just reinforces what your saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a wild guess and say that they guy the are giving a one year 11 mill $ signing bonus will be the starting QB. When did Boller become the QB of the future?

Big Score 1 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Still no trade? I see the McNair / Baltimore contract being reported all over the place, but can't find anything about a Tenn / Balt trade. Think the trade report might have been an error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Titans | Talks with Baltimore cool off; team may retain McNairMon, 8 May 2006 14:37:46 -0700 TitansRadio.com reports the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens have not contacted each other since draft weekend about disgruntled QB Steve McNair. With trade talks on ice, head coach Jeff Fisher spoke of going in a different direction with McNair and making an effort to bring him back. ''I think Baltimore's window came and left,'' Fisher said. ''I think the next step is to try to communicate with [McNair] and see if we can work something out.'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I think they'd like to keep him but for $10-12million? I doubt it. Play Volek until Vince is ready and then Billy becomes te backup again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REZ Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Fisher has been quoted as saying that the Titans can't afford McNair's cap number this year. I think they are trying to get more out of Baltimore but Baltimore knows that eventually they'll have to release him. I don't see McNair redoing his contract to lower his cap number.
