This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

My wild speculation is that many teams fear this. by tdiddy07

For a team that thinks it has a chance to contend, why add a backup quarterback that could sew division, either from complaining about playing time or from bringing divisive issues to the attention of the team. That's pretty similar to the Tim Tebow phenomenon a few years ago. However, like you said, a team with an entrenched qb and a backup need would be willing to have him compete in training camp.

But you'd think there are enough teams that are bad enough that it's worth seeing if he can return to old form and who can use a shot of publicity. The problem is that in the past couple of years, Cincinnati was one of those teams. But it has a conservative fan base for which the signing probably would've harmed attendance.
