He is 37. He had a horrific season. We tried to trade him. He played the 'refuse to report' card leading to uber controversy. He had a GREAT send off.

So no. Absolutely not. I do not want Kipper back. Why would you?

Either he is back as our starter which means we are another season away from seriously looking for our next starter. Or he is playing backup to a guy like Ramo. We don't need a 6 million dollar cap hit sitting the bench. Besides I don't want to watch Kipper finish his career on the bench.

There is no good scenario if Kipper is back.
