I hate this get a QB every year mentality. Why would anyone we pick up in the 5th or beyond be a better backup? They would be a developmental QB at best, i.e. a 2-3 year project. Then next year people will be saying the same exact thing after the guy this year has "shown nothing" because duh he was a developmental pick.

Possibly. If one is good enough to where they think they can groom him, but if not why waste a pick on a QB just to do it?
Is Leniart still here??? I'd love to keep him as a backup if possible.

I think you have to be concerned about his shoulder. No performance on film after repair.
9. Houston QB Dan Orlovsky
The Texans signed Orlovsky to a three-year, $9.15 million contract with $2.4 million guaranteed believing he could replace Rosenfels as Matt Schaub's backup. Orlovsky, though, is mired in the same third-string role as Rosenfels is in Minnesota. Orlovsky lost his second-string spot in the preseason to Rex Grossman (?!?) and hasn't won it back. We may now never know whether Orlovsky has learned where the back of the end zone is. (AP Photo/Ed Zurga)

Who just had to have this guy??????

04/09/2011 - Bryn Renner was the star of North Carolina's spring game for the second year in a row. But this time was different. He wasn't just a backup flinging the football around the field trying to make a name for himself. "To be honest, I was a lot more nervous because I was running with the" starters, Renner said. Renner, who is replacing four-year starter T.J. Yates at quarterback, completed 9 of 13 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown. His 43-yard touchdown strike to Erik Highsmith was the major highlight of the day. The Tar Heels opted against a traditional spring game, instead playing a controlled scrimmage that lasted about 45 minutes on an overcast afternoon. No score was kept in front of a crowd of about 15,500 people. It was a stark contrast from last year's spring game, which took place in front of a crowd of 29,500 and was televised on ESPN. Renner passed for 184 yards and a score in that contest. He was just as sharp and just as excited this time. North Carolina coach Butch Davis described his new quarterback as "gregarious, passionate, hyper, high-strung." "That can be contagious," Davis said. "That's infectious. Everybody is like, 'Man, this guy is geeked up. He's ready to go.' So they want to play to the same level that he does. He's just got to realize that there are a lot of things that he's not ready to do yet, but he will if he'll keep working." Renner agreed. He cited his pre-snap reads and adjustments as areas he wanted to improve in the aftermath of the scrimmage. Renner also is looking for some comfort in his new role that will make him more like Yates, who had a knack for staying calm under pressure. "It's definitely something I need to control," Renner said. "I have a lot of energy. Sometimes it's kind of like nervous energy, but then other times it's like I'm just really excited to be out here and be a Carolina Tar Heel. I just have to channel it." - AP Sports

Overview
Despite starting the previous three seasons, Yates entered his senior campaign fighting with Bryan Renner for playing time. Not only did Yates win the job, he earned Honorable Mention All-ACC honors as one of the more improved quarterbacks in the country.
His maturity and mental toughness throughout a season most Tar Heel fans would rather forget is sure to impress NFL teams. For Yates to earn a shot in the NFL, teams will have to be impressed with his intangibles, because his lack of ideal arm strength and accuracy makes him tough to grade as anything more than a late-round consideration.
Analysis
Positives: Cerebral quarterback who does the little things well. Extends his arm and carries out the play-action fake well. Possesses enough mobility and pocket sense to feel the pressure coming, step up to avoid it and buy extra time for his receivers to separate. Understands the offense. Shows the confidence and recognition to move defenders with his eyes and make his progressive reads. Good accuracy in the short to intermediate zones. Consistently throws his receivers open on underneath routes. Not a legitimate scrambling threat, but will take what the defense gives him. Has made steady gains throughout his career. Emerged as the unquestioned leader of this team amid plenty of off-field turmoil.
Negatives: Might be maxed out. Doesn't possess the size, athleticism or arm strength most teams are looking for in a developmental prospect. Only average arm strength and accuracy outside of the hashes.
2010 Season
Yates established 37 school records at North Carolina, including career passing yards, single-season passing yards and single-season total offense. Yates led the Tar Heels to an 8-5 mark in 2010, including a 30-27 double-overtime win over Tennessee in the Music City Bowl Yates started 44 career games at UNC and was a 2010 honorable-mention All-ACC selection. As a senior, he completed 282 of 422 attempts (66.8 pct.) for 3,418 yards and 19 touchdowns, and was second in the ACC in pass efficiency and yards per game. He became the first Tar Heel in school history to throw for more than 3,000 yards in a season.

Because we have yet to have a decent backup. Sage was the best and Grossman and Leinert remain just long enoughto get back on track.

I think Powe is still there and Deunta Williams. How about that. I like Nathan Enderle as you & BL know and he could be in 7th.
