Should the Chargers trade Kellen Clemons

[rikardo]

Hell No.
IMO Kellen Clemens is a solid backup (and that's a very important position to fill).

Kleo Lemons > Kelley Clemons

No! With Clemens we'd have a chance to win some games. Watching Sorensen we'd be toast.

Ironman Rivers says it doesn't matter who's #2.

128 and counting. Only 10 more seasons to catch Farve!

Of course, if the consideration is high enough, virtually anyone should be subject to trade. That said, I would not want to trade Clemens for anything that any team is likely to give us for him. He has shown well for us thus far in our offensive system and looks like he will be a very solid #2 QB option for us. I would be more interested in locking him up with a long term deal at a cheap price than I would be in trading him.

Let's not get crazy now...

The Rams would never do a deal like that. Wasn't Clemens there backup QB last year? We'd get nothing for him. The Rams would be foolish to give up anything for him. Maybe a 7th. He won't be traded.

Agreed. Their GM would look like an idiot and have to eat crow in front of impatient Rams fans, who already are ticked that Lee Snead didn't have a better backup plan behind injury-plagued Bradford. Maybe after their current backups mess up or get injured--But why give up our big-time insurance plan in Clemens?--We have nothing to replace him with (Sorenson is not the answer), and whatever scrub did come in wouldn't know our system for long while. Maybe next year when we draft Rivers' eventual replacement :0..

Why would locking up Clemens to a long term deal to be our #2 QB be a bad thing? We had Volek for 6 years. Didn't you like knowing that we were set at the QB position when we had him? So why wouldn't it make sense to sign Clemens so that we know that he will be there for us for several years to come? That does not prevent us from drafting Rivers' ultimate replacement because we could then carry 3 QBs when the right QB for us is available in a few years. It would be one less issue to resolve.

He's locked up through next year. No need to look much further with a backup.
