Many of us are not all that thrilled with Clemons as a backup. I still think he is one of the better backup QB out there, but that really just means there aren't really enough starters, let alone solid backups.
However, if Mike Bercovici shows much, if anything, do we trade Clemons to the Cowboys? They are desperate for a backup, and there might be a real option later on for them. The downside is that Clemons gives us a better chance to win than Bercovici. But who is kidding who? We don't have a chance to win games if Rivers goes down. None. We would need a strong run game and defense (which I wouldn't count on right now), and a bunch of receivers who can all make plays.
If we try and trade Clemons now, we have a chance to get something. There are guys with potential out there, who as camps start getting on, will be available to the Cowboys. If we send him soon, there is at least a chance of getting a late round pick. If we wait, they aren't going to spend a pick to have a guy come in late unless it has PR value to them. The Cowboys don't need a backup, the are not a playoff caliber team, and they have no chance to win if Romo goes down, but if there is a chance to add a pick, it is worth at least considering.
