C.Biscuit97 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Not a great QB, but did great work with the young qb prospects at elite 11 this year. Worked with Blake Bortles a ton. Basically a player coach, who is a better coach than player. Makes sense to bring him in to help mentor EJ. Neither Tuel or Thad can really help on that front. Agreed and some posters are delusional what a backup qb can really do. There are barely enough good Qbs to be starters.
truth on hold Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) If he sticks who goes Thad or Tuel? Writing is on the wall theyre done with Thad. Won't even PS him this time Edited August 26, 2014 by Joe_the_6_pack
maddenboy Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I don't care if he sticks or not, Thad has to go. Tuel at least as the gun slinger in him, he ain't scared He throws picks, but at least he throws!
Kelly the Dog Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 If he is a good mentor and somewhat coach, then it could help. If it means that we keep Tuel as our #2 and not Lewis, and also Palmer as our #3, I don't like it at all. If he replaces Tuel who goes to the PS, then I'm all for it but hope they do not stop looking.
Tyrod's Tailor Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Excellent signing if this actually happens. `
Gray Beard Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 He's right between Kolb and Thigpen on that Rotoworld list of QBs.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Excellent signing if this actually happens. ` It'll be a meh acquisition IMO.
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 He's right between Kolb and Thigpen on that Rotoworld list of QBs. If we are forced to play any of those guys for significant time, we are screwed anyways. They aren't very good, that's why they're on the list. It'll be a meh acquisition IMO. I generally agree but who do you want? I respect your opinion so I'm curious. But if Palmer has to play, we're in trouble. I do feel better with him than Tuel or the ghost of Thad though.
Tyrod's Tailor Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 It'll be a meh acquisition IMO. OK let me rephrase, making the best out of a decidedly worse than "meh" situation (lewis & tuel)

I do feel better with him than Tuel or the ghost of Thad though. I'm hoping they'll be able to acquire Ponder if he shakes loose from the Vikings. He could support EJ in a backup role and I'm thinking they have already established rapport with EJ being his successor at FSU. OK let me rephrase, making the best out of a decidedly worse than "meh" situation (lewis & tuel) Much closer to the reality. Not a great scenario if any of the three make it to the 53.
BringBackFergy Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Did he bag groceries at any time in his past?? Grocery baggers typically turn out to be good QB's.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I'm totally with you on Ponder. Awful starter, really good backup/ mentor. Plus, he has nice arm candy. Always a bonus.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Just got the Alert Not that this isn't in the offing, but an alert from whom?

Basically a player coach, who is a better coach than player. Makes sense to bring him in to help mentor EJ. Neither Tuel or Thad can really help on that front. The Bills have a head coach. offensive coordinator, QB coach. How many people do you want telling Manuel what to do? How about getting a QB that doesn't need all of this love and attention.
The Wiz Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 We got the wrong Palmer. I know. I was hoping for the golden bear.
