- Oakland is committed to Jason Campbell.

- Titans could be interested in bringing in a vet but like Minnesota they don't want to give McNabb a multi-year deal.

- Cincinnati. Seriously doubt it.

- 49ers claim they're serious about keeping Alex Smith and having Kaepernick develop behind him.

- Seattle wants Hasselbeck back and if they can't get him they're rumored to be targeting Kolb.

- Miami..........apparently they would rather have Palmer but this seems like it could be a match. Also hearing that they might like Young.

As you indicate, those teams won't offer huge expensive multiyear deals. But I think both of those teams would not mind paying $$$ for a vet QB as a tutor for a year or two. So it depends on how deals were structured. A deal which they can get out of after a year or two (like the way we signed DMac last year) may be tolerable to both the team and to DMac.

So let's say JBeck is our QB next season, what's the over/under on wins? In your own opinions .

If Beck becomes a surprise success you're looking at 10-11 wins. If Beck is who we thought he was you're looking at 7-8 wins. Either way I expect this team to improve over the 6 wins of a year ago with a better running game and a much improved defense.

And put it this way they were able to get 5 wins with McNabb playing like Chad Henne.

After playing us last year I can't understand why either would want McNabb. Especially the Titans. McNabb had all day to throw that game yet still came close to throwing the game with his usual 3rd down ground balls, a forced Int after 7 seconds untouched, and an errant throw in OT that easily could have been an Interception.

I still think we are a 9 win team this year TOPS..

Although, we could always surprise people and pull out a KC year with alot of young ones starting.

I wouldn't be shocked if Moss was gone, and Cook was starting in Rabach spot.

I agree that DMac looked bad last year. But under that reasoning no one will give DMac a job and that seems unlikely. Someone will want him at least for his QB-tutoring brain and will overlook last year as an apparent aberration.

Even if John Beck isn't our savior, we have the sixth easiest schedule in the league we must have to rack up a few wins

Given Denver's desire for a big-time DT, this story smells of a Haynesworth-for-Orton trade:

Denver will need a proper DT for their 4-3 scheme. Personally, I feel that Dareus would have fit better. Von Miller is a helluva player, but he won't help them against the run in a conference with powerful running games (especially Oakland and KC). Haynesworth would be a huge gamble, but hey I don't care about that as long as they are willing to take him.

Do you think Orton fits Shannys system? He's not that mobile tho.

Personally I think he may fit KYLE Shanahan's system although less so MIKE's. And he may be the best option, fit or not. He actually had a pretty good year last year.

No offense to Von Miller but I agree. I would have taken Dareus.

Who's offense are we running Kyle or Mike or a mixture of the two?

Lotus..

KO has had a pretty good 3 years now in a row

Is this all just wishful thinking?.....or is it as jippdsoul posted in his comment, Shanahan needs to be drug tested?

Orton aint Joe Namath. The Bears were happy enough to live without him and it appears Denver is too.
I wouldnt give a pick for him. I'd rather deal with what I have.
