He would fit in nice and tidy. He's probably already held some of the clipboards!

Deus Irae, I don't know why you think this guy is done but I think he's be much better than what we have now.

I agree. Hes only 35, has been fairly productive as a backup QB and knows at least the base part of the offense.

Question is, you bring him in but like Hoyer will he last until the practice squad? Don't know.

We realize he can't make a superior team like the 49ers but

probably can make an inferior team like the Patriots.

He was playing for vet minimum when he was here and the Pats let him go. If the Pats are so high on him, why didn't they keep him?

Personally, I liked the guy and was sorry to see him go. I'd be happy if they signed him. But it isn't what I like, it is what BB likes, and he gave us a clue when he let Huard walk.

He wasn't good enough to stick with the Chiefs or the 49ers as even a 3rd string QB, but New England should pick him up?

No, thanks. I'll pass.

This almost sounds too weird to be correct but in '06, '07 & '08 he had 17 fumbles, 18 interceptions and 24 TDs while playing in 26 games with KC.

Why would anyone think an old retread like Huard would do any better in the Pats offense than a guy like Walter (who at least is young and has upside)? I'd use the words "washed up" for Huard but, in order to be washed up, you had to have been successful at first. *****, why not just drag Drew Bledsoe out of retirement, he's only 37...
