Would you be opposed to a trade with a QB desperate team if the opportunity was there? Though I agree it's ideal to have a backup with similar characteristics to your starter for scheme fit.

If you really think given a whole season of opportunity that Clausen can match Flacco's success than you just don't know football, period. And if you watch enough football you know how stupid it is to just look at stats in a vaccum, this doesn't even matter for Clausen because he's not even good enough to rack up garbage time stats.

Haven't seen anyone match his games against Oakland, Cleveland, Cincinnati and San Diego yet, beside the point, you're putting way too much stake into numbers. Between Smith and Smith last year they dropped enough TD passes that would have given him his 4K, 30 TD season, would that make people happy? Only you are saying Mallet and Flacco are comparable, I must have missed Mallets 10 playoff wins and 5 straight playoff appearances to start his career and a large collection of impressive passes with a high degree of difficulty and his 26 game winning drives. Maybe we should get Dalton or Stafford, they have had 30 TD seasons so they're clearly better because stats. Mallet played fine but he wasn't pressured much and checked the ball down all game besides 2 or 3 throws. We were a top 10 offense with Flacco this year we aren't anymore, I'd thought that would be enough proof for the small minority of our fan base that doubts his contributions to this team but I guess it isn't. Matt Cassel looked pretty serviceable in New England's offense and look how that turned out.

Maybe the Steelers should go get Mallet, he had better stats than Ben today and they could save a lot of money to pay their defense, I'm sure Mallet would be serviceable with Brown, Bell and Bryant

More confident than making an audible out of a run play on 4th and 1 in the 4th quarter of the SUPER BOWL after giving up a 22 point lead? How short are our memories!

24 TDs and 4 INTs and many dropped TD passes since his rookie and sophomore years including last year at Pitt where he far outplayed what Mallet did today in a much bigger game.It's not just 'one' playoff run, and entertaining this idea is literally insane. I question if you were a fan before 2008, maybe let's see what our serviceable QB can do with a true #1 WR instead.
