Given the wealth of talent at positions among the front 7 on d and at rb, the extra spot for a qb may be far to valuable. Of course injuries and the Foxboro Flu could whittle that down a bit over the next few weeks.
I think it may come down to whether someone like Rivers/Calhoun are deemed to valuable to let walk. Hell, wr could factor into this as well. Which brings me to my next question; was it me, or was Slater helping Mayo call in the d plays? Could have sworn i saw him running signals from the sidelines, standing next to Mayo at some point in the second half.
If there was anyone on the roster who could conceivably make the mive from player to coach this year, it is him. There has been a lot of talk about the reduced role ST's play, and if our P is booting it up for 6 seconds each time...hell, we could pick a few random fans out of the stands for punt coverage and do alright.
