    I mean I can see him coming back. If he is actually willing to put in the effort to work for it and keep it up I can see him being a solid QB backup or starter for that matter.

    Guess this guy:

    In 1990, this QB participated in the first NFL QB challenge. He finished first in the retiree category and third in the regular competition. (The regular competition taking the top three finishers from the alumni competition and adding them to the regular field of current QBs.) Given his strong performance, Bobby Beathard, then the GM of the Chargers, wanted this QB to come out of retirement, but he was 39 at the time and chose not to try a comeback.

    On the eve of Super Bowl XLII New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, in discussing his choices for the greatest quarterbacks of all time, described him as the best "pure passer" he ever saw.

    All those guys were still active players in 1990 and in their late 20s to early 30s in age, not 39.

    You're not very good with timelines. The answer is Bert Jones. Bobby Hebert was 30 and still an active player at the time.

    Yep, Bertram Hays Jones.....

    Saw and talked with him up in Dallas when LSU opened the season a few years back. The guy still looks like he could play.
