Quarterback advice

Hasselbeck is on bye this week. McNair is supposed to play but is one big hit from being knocked out of the game.
Should I start McNair or pick up one of the following?
D. Carr vs. CLE
T. Dilger @ HOU
J. McCown @ DAL
A. Wright @ PIT
K. Orton @ DET
J. Martin vs. JAC
C. Simms vs. CAR
G. Frerotte @ NO
If I pick up one of these guys, who should I drop? I need Bryant this week to start along side Branch.

Given that list, I would, like lumberman suggests, stick it out with McNair... An important related side note, though, I would NOT even REMOTELY consider Trent Dilfer... I think in his final start for the Brownies he is going to stink it up against the woeful Texans, who are either going to win the game (and pave the way for Dilfer's benching in Week Nine) or come damn close, but lose in a Frye-led comeback. That's what my  is sayin', at least... Good luck!

You never know about Mcnair. He's playing now...but when the game starts he's in a suit.
With that said Id play Gus Forgot against the Saints. If for no other reason than it seem like every game the Saints play in is a scoring fest. Drop Mcnair at the last minute and pick him back up if necessary at your first op. Or ride the Forgot in the back up role.

I just want to throw this out there... While I kind of agree with sk and rick that Frerotte should be a good play this week against New Orleans, I think there might be a little "situation" going on down in Miami like the one I explain about Dilfer, i.e., I've heard that they like Sage Rosenfels down there and, boy, did he come in and throw a sweet one to Chambers while Frerotte, meanwhile, was stinking it up against an eh KC pass D and it wasn't like he wasn't getting help from the running game via Ronnie Brown. I kind of see Frerotte potentially set up for disaster this week. He's been doing poor as of late; there's a guy behind him the team is at least interested in getting an extended look at and this week he is presented with a game in which he should do well and that they should win. If either or both of the aforementioned are not happenin', don't be surprised if he gets pulled during the game and we have a full-blown QB controversy next week down in Miami... ... Here's one LOCAL piece I just quickly found on "the Gridiron Newsstand" that hints at the "potential" for such a "situation":
"Frerotte still starting"

What if I could trade McNair for either Leftwich or Brooks? Should I do either of these trades if the other guys agree to them? If so, which is better?

I personally wouldn't... Not that McNair is a fantasy stud, BUT Leftwich is a "fantasy Aikman", i.e. while a great NFL player, not worth much on the fantasy gridiron, and Brooks is a bum. His play is totally erratic and his job is surely in jeopardy. Again, I would stick with McNair.

Steg, my back is against the wall as my team is 2-5. I need to win this week and probably the next five weeks in a row to have a shot at the playoffs. Hasselbeck is on bye so I am really just looking for a good matchup for this week. If, after this week, Hasselbeck gets injured, I am pretty stewed anyway. I need to take some risks to get to the playoffs. Otherwise it would be time to trade for next year.
In light of my position, would you trade for either Leftwich (@ STL) or Brooks (vs. MIA)?

You seem bent on a trade, but I'd still go with McNair. OAK is already a poor D, and now has Woodson and (safety, cant remember name) gone. With Brown starting to show his nagging injuries, and Henry with major rust from his suspension, I'd think the TEN passing game is where they'll make hay.
I'd play McNair.
If you really want to trade, Leftwich is you more consistent performer. He'll get you 1 TD and <200 passing most weeks. But I still say McNair will outperform him this week.
good luck!

...but I would go with McCown or Frerotte if I had to choose one. McCown's the only one there who has put up any big numbers this year(despite last week's poor showing) but Frerotte has the better matchup!! After those two I'd go with Dilfer then Carr based on match-up only. In any case, drop McNair if you decide on switching QB's.... this was the only week you were gonna play him anyway and you can't afford to drop any of your WR's or RB's!!
