What makes a backup QB trade happen

[HarleyDog]

I think AJ is better than many give him credit. Also, in the few games he played, we seen glimpses of improvement. The thing is, when you throw a backup qb in there, he doesn't just settle in after the first game. It takes a good 1/2 season to gain your confidence and even longer to gain the rapport and timing of your receivers. I think good teams know this and will value AJ much higher than we do. I hate to see him go because if the OL doesn't get fixed, we are going to need him. Yet, like many have said, after next year we get nothing for him and he walks. This angle is also known by the other teams who may want AJ. Patience will be key here in getting a deal done for an AJ trade. However, not the kind of patience we have seen in the past where we do nothing. Doing nothing with AJ is similar to playing Russian roulette with 6 bullets in the chamber.
