Quote:Even for the season?!?

 

I think the addition of Freeman could give us a QB to make the passing game more effective - that is, if he can find his form of last season. He wouldn't cost the team anything but his salary. But the problem with Freeman is that it would only be worthwhile signing him if he was going to be this team's QB going forwards. Freeman is an athletic QB with a big arm, he's talented for sure, but he has his limitations and he's frustratingly inconsistent. So unless coming here and working with this team's coaching staff eliminates or reduces his limitations and his inconsistency, and in turn makes him into a very productive passer, then I have my doubts as to how far this team can go with Freeman under the center. 

 

I guess he has proven himself to be a productive passer last season, and in the right system he could thrive. So maybe it is worth taking a punt on him, see how it goes, and if he succeeds then this team can use its draft picks to build a roster around him. But personally I don't think that will happen, or for that matter, be the right choice. For me, it might be best to let Freeman go somewhere else and continue to go with what we have until next year's draft when they will likely take a new QB who can hopefully help turn this franchise around.
