Any young promising back up QB's the Niners can take a look at? Or trade for?

Taking a page out of what the Bills just did, because I think that was a great move. Brian Brohm has potential. But what about us? Why don't we try and find a diamond in the rough for cheap?

Colt Brennan in our spread would be great. He as amazing accuracy.

Troy Smith? Ravens backup QB?

Kolb, Eagles back up?

The Chargers pride themselves on having one of the deepest rosters in the NFL, and they believe the quarterback position is a particularly strong one. Charlie Whitehurst, a third-round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, enters his third professional season in 2008.
Charlie Whitehurst, a third-round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, enters his fourth professional season in 2009. The Chargers pride themselves on having one of the deepest rosters in the NFL, and they believe the quarterback position is particularly strong with Whitehurst, starter Philip Rivers and fellow backup Billy Volek.

Whitehurst patiently waits for his opportunities, he plays an important role on gamedays. When the Chargers are on offense, he relays the plays from Head Coach Norv Turner to Philip Rivers through the communication system in Rivers’ helmet.

An honor roll student throughout his college career at Clemson, Whitehurst earned his degree in marketing in December 2004, a full year before his eligibility expired. He left the Clemson, South Carolina campus as the Atlantic Coast Conference’s third all-time leading passer. One of the players who ranked ahead of him was Rivers, who spent his collegiate career at North Carolina State.

Whitehurst’s dad, David, was also an NFL quarterback. He played for the Green Bay Packers from 1976-83. When the Chargers played at Lambeau Field in 2007, the Packers were hosting the team’s annual alumni weekend and the entire Whitehurst family made the trip to Northern Wisconsin to take part in the festivities and watch the Bolts.

Charlie is not the only former Clemson Tiger in the family. His sister, Carrie also attended Clemson on an athletic scholarship and played forward on the Tigers women’s basketball team.

Didn't we do something similar last year when we got JTO. Didn't have to trade for him but it did cost us a few games. I guess be careful what you ask for.

Let me tell you, There is NO WAY the Eagles will trade Kevin Kolb. He is their future. Besides, why trade for Kolb? All he knows is the WCO. We don't run that offense anymore. However, I was thinking...

Why not the backup in SD? Charlie Whitehurst.
