For a backup QB, how about we bring in Nick Davila 'The Latin Laser'?

Or maybe Dan Raudabaugh? Just 8 yards shy of 5000 yards last year. 119 touchdowns 12 interceptions. Both have a ~66% completion rate. Sure it is the Arena League, but don't forget that is where Kurt Warner came from.

Or go to the Canadian league, where Warren Moon once got his start. Bo Mitchell is 25, from Katy, Texas (I'm guessing he and Andy might even know each other?), threw for 4551 yards in 17 games, with 26 TDs and 13 INTs and a 65% completion rate this year.

Yeah, I know it is unlikely to happen or even result in some huge success story, but the idea that there are no intriguing possibilities for backup QB seems wrongheaded to me.

If I went for any of the other leagues for a QB, I would see how Zach Collaros is doing in the CFL. Davila is 30 already, Collaros is still only 27 and also plays in a football league that I would trust the transfer of skills/stats much more than AFL where it's just absurd offensive numbers. CFL produced Warren Moon, Jeff Garcia, Joe Theismann, Joe Horn, and Cameron Wake.

Not to mention Collaros had 70.2% completion, 3378 yards, 25 TD/8 INT, and 9.4 YPA in 12 games. So he wasn't exactly a bum up there, eh?
