The Dallas Cowboys are shopping for a backup quarterback. (thank you, thank you , thank you) Brad Johnson did well in minicamps and they like him, but the Cowboys feel his arm strength isnt there anymore. (gee, do you think?)
I like Brad Johnson, always did, but I just dont want him out there if Romo goes down for any time at all. Like say, maybe a play or two?
I havent heard any names yet but will be watching anxiously.
Who do you think would make a good backup for the Cowboys? (Please dont say Brett Favre)

I just saw Chris Simms name. Hope he is healthy.

Brett Favre. Because if Brett Favre had no arms and no legs, he'd still be the best torso in football.
Seriously, I think taking a chance on Simms would be a good move. Or maybe Gradkowski would fit the bill.

Funny Lefty, funny.
It really would be a chance on Simms. He was just developing when he went down and who knows whether he can still play. Gradkowski doesnt do it for me. I dont know why. Leftwich and Culpepper still think they are starters. Too bad they lost Matt Moore. He was coming along nicely.
We have a playoff team. We need a playoff caliber backup. If that makes any sense.

Wish I could take credit for it. That's a Frank Caliendo line.

Geez, Leftwich? Culpepper? I wouldn't touch either one with a 10 foot pole right now, the former due to injury concerns and the latter, well, for one thing he only wants to go somewhere were he would start and for another I think he's washed up. As it stands now, I don't see any slam-dunk backup types out there in free agency.

Leftwich is supposed to be healed and with his weight loss maybe he would work out as a backup.
I think Culpepper could back up. He most certainly wouldnt be any worse than Brad from what I saw of him in Oakland last year.
Personally, I think Joey Harrington would be worse. Or is he signed somewhere already?
