If they want a third QB, can we please go the veteran route to tutor the young guys? 

 

Update. Just looked at the FA list. The only guy with NFL starting experience is smokin' Jay Cutler.

Can't put a veteran guy on the Practice Squad, so probably not going that direction.

Yeah not many vets available. Plus the 3rd QB may just be signed to PS and they would be ineligible

Yep, don’t want to see a repeat of that.  Thad Lewis, where art though?

 

Christian Ringo?  I wonder if he’s related to Jim Ringo?

The resemblance is uncanny!!

That's me, reacting to Little Joe Cartwright having 'borrowed' my shtick.  Not a problem Joe, these 15+ page threads are too damn long.  ?  Most of my material is reworked as well.

They are working out guys now at certain positions  that lack depth so they don’t have to work them out if they need to sign someone quickly during the season and they are still available. One Qb injury and they need a guy quickly. Same with OL, pass rusher etc.

 

the snark and overreaction in the media about them working out Lynch was hilarious.

Have we signed any of these guys?

Nope, probably just wanted to get a look at the guys other teams will be signing while they wait for more dinged up reclaimation projects to sign.

I believe if you sign any players before week 1 their contracts are guaranteed for the year, but after week one they aren't. Not sure if it becomes pro-rated or that can be negotiated for the final 15 games. At this point, no player they brought in would be ready for Baltimore anyway so it is prudent to wait if they want to sign someone.

The player workouts allowed for the team to update the teams emergency list and I don't believe any of the players have signed so any changes can be made quickly, especially if there is an injury vs the Ravens.

Really makes you question the team's ability to evaluate QBs. This guy was an absolute mess and a lot of people, physically at least, compare him to Allen. 

 

Ultimately, it really does not matter as he would serve as a PS QB most likely but damn. 

Not really. Beane is doing his job and continuously trying to find ways to improve this team. I love that they are always looking for talent. Just because we bring someone in, doesn't mean we think they are better than what we already have.

Seriously - just like the Eagles who not only worked out but signed Christian Hackenberg and played him in the preseason before deciding not to keep him. They should have just assumed he was what he was with the Jets. Nothing. Those hacks can’t evaluate QBs either! Wait...

IIRC, the guaranteed contact for the year only applies for vets with a certain # of years (I want to say 4 or 5) of experience.
