Not the point of our discussion, you said very few positions available, I disagree. Just showing why I disagree. No big deal.

The point of the discussion, to me, is people such as yourself, clamoring for a PS QB, when, in fact, the PS is there for a team to develop players of potential.

 

Teams don't need PS QBs if they don't have one worth stashing away. (and that's the point of this discussion)

 

Reading more closely you haven't clamored for a PS QB so apologies for my confusion.

 

What you're wrong about is the fact that few positions are covered by the PS.

I think the idea of PS QB is for down the line development, not to come in during the season and help. So if a roster QB goes down, a free agent signing is more likely. I mean, look at the talent available, Brandon Weeden, Osweiller, Matt Cassel....

Exactly, your not using the PS for a 3rd QB in case your other guys go down. PS QBs are guys who you feel have certain skills or abilities that maybe just need extra coaching and time to bring out. They aren't guys who are going to come in and start unless you are throwing away the rest of the season. Otherwise your going to bring in an outside guy and run a more basic offence until they get acquainted with yours.

Clamoring? Obsessed?  I think you're going a bit overboard with the hyperbole.

I never! (I did apologize when I realized I was arguing with you about the wrong thing!?)

I've told you a million times to not exaggerate.

I’d love them to grab Hoyer for just a few weeks to eff with BB

Has that ever happened? Has BB ever really been eff'd with?

If anything, someone picking up Hoyer would end up with BB effing with them......

It won't matter that the QB knows the playbook if they aren't good enough to execute it. And if they are good enough to execute the playbook, they would be on your active roster as a #2 or 3 QB. Your better off dumbing down the offence and starting a veteran off the street then a PS guy.

I don’t think Kyle Sloter is terrible and much worse than any FA QB without a job midseason.  We struck gold with Barkley last season.  We whiffed on DA last season.  

 

More valuable, imo, than a 5th TE, 7th interior OL, 8th WR.  Sure, we may sign a vet QB if JA and MB get hurt, but the practice squad Qb still has use running the scout team and being the backup qB.  

 

Sure, some PS positions/players can be very important.  Some irrelevant. I’d rather have a security blanket at the most important position in sports over hoping there’s a retread worth our while and that he stays healthy.  Without a Ps qb, we would only dress 1 QB?

 

those that say it won’t matter because the season would over are making a terrible assumption, that the QBs injuries are season ending.  I believe our coaching and defense can carry us for a few weeks.

Those who thought some of our cuts would make it on other teams were correct. That's a good sign of our depth.

 

Nothing on Duke Williams yet. As expected I think he'll make it on the PS. With McCloud gone I could see Easley making it there too.

But what about Wade??????

Weren't teams going to be fighting over themselves to try and snag him away from the Bills and he would never see the PS?????
