He is a solid as hell back up, period. How much do back ups cost? Cutting him saves what, 4.5M? You aren’t going to get a good back up for 4.5M. It’s going to cost somewhere around 8-10M. Mind as well keep him for that 4.5M as the back up in my opinion.


I've been trying to point this out for weeks, but it keeps seeming to fall on deaf ears (or would that be blind eyes). The difference between keeping Blake and letting him go and paying for him anyways is merely the cost of a backup qb.  You actually can get a decent backup for around $4.5 mil, but if you want a decent backup who can potentially start for an extended time, it's going to cost you more. I actually love the idea of actually letting Blake start next year while drafting a rookie who can take over mid-season when he's ready.
