B. Absolutely not. I realize he's not elite, but what we have at OG now, is nothing short of hot garbage.

And adding hot, stale, putrid, rotting garbage to it isn't going to make the rest of the line smell less like [BLEEP]. The kind of guy I'd target on waivers along the OL--and we definitely need to add a body or two--is a younger player with something resembling potential that lost out in a numbers game. A guy like what the team saw in Shatley and Wells a few years ago, who might develop into something down the line. Even if the guy's going to develop into another flaming bag of dog poo, I'd rather take the shot at a guy with the ability to develop, not someone who's already done and not going to get any less washed-up as the year progresses.

Remember, this is Coughlin's mulligan year, and likely Marrone's too. None of the QBs on this roster are the answer. Playing Bortles over Henne given the risk of eating Bortles' salary next year indicates that this isn't a team out to tank for the first pick...yet. If we do end up folding up the tents and playing Henne, would you rather have someone on the line who's old and bad, someone we already know is bad, or someone who might end up being not terrible?
