Dan Orlovosky vs. Josh Freeman for backup qb



maybe I am missing the huge knock on Josh Freeman but stats wise he is leaps and bounds better than Dan Orlovsky. He has by far outperformed D.O. when it comes to playing against actual nfl talent, He is younger than Dan O. (who will be 31 in august) and Freeman is only 1 month older than Stafford (both 26). My main issue with Freemans numbers was his high fumble rate and his whole debacle with old coach Schiano (hence not the coach anymore so who was the main issue really?) He put up some pretty good numbers under Raheem Morris and he is only 3 year removed from when he put up 3500 yard 20 plus tds and only 5 ints which by the way in itself trumps Orlovskys career stats of 2900 yards 14 tds and 12 ints. I think we should cut Orlovsky pick up Freeman and at worst case scenario if Freeman doesn't pan out cut him and bring Dan O. back i don't see teams lining up to pick him up, my reasoning is Im sure Orlovsky has peaked already Josh Freeman still has potential left to be tapped into just needs proper guidance and from the stories I read Schiano was like a bully drill sergeant.

what do you guys think?
