Either way Grossman is clearly the best passer that...we have access to, only thing that gets in the way are these pesky fumbles weather they be from Rexy or other guys like Moss, but mostly Rexy.

The last thing we need is another head case like Young. Why would you want a QB when his current coach said if he stayes he will leave? Makes no sense unless your looking for someon that can hang around with Fat Albert.

Because I'm afraid that not doing anything could easily lead to a situation only marginally better then Derrick Anderson and Max Hall. I mean don't get me wrong my mind changes on this every other minute, and Grossman in this system is certainly better then Derrick Anderson.

Still Young is easily one of the top physical specimens at the QB position today along with Vick, Newton, and Locker and we saw how giving a talented QB a chance paid off for the Eagles. We do not have a settled enough QB situation to just shrug off someone as talented as Young. Right now Young is the best combination of price, talent, potential, and hunger. Remember his feud in Tennessee started because he wanted to play hurt. Haynesworth on the other hand only wanted to play in nickel packages.

Besides comparing the problems with Young and Haynesworth is apples to oranges. Haynesworth is a true head case with serious issues. I'm not really scared anymore of bringing in Young because if/when we do he won't have a contract that makes him unmovable and above all I think Young himself is a good person thats simply had issues with depression.

Either way we'd be bringing him into compete and with our situation we don't really have that much to loose.
