If Kyle Allen can't even beat a Punter for the backup job that's a bad omen for him. LOL Yes, familiarity with the playbook counts. In courtesy to Barkley they need to make it a bit of a competition. Today per Astro report Kyle was running with the 2s and Barkley the 3s So I imagine they are trading off. Edited July 28, 2023 by Beck Water Quote

I did see that in the Astro Report, however there are a lot of times at camp where things conflict as to who runs with what team. Heck some days it feels like different outlets are watching entirely different practices lol. But, yea, McD does tend to stack his initial depth chart by length of time with the team. Can't remember if they did that last year with Keenum, though. Of course he's a longer playing vet than KA. Quote

I could be wrong, but I also think Barkley didn't sign until later in the pre-season. They didn't do it with Trubisky, either AFAIK. Quote
without a drought Posted July 28, 2023 Posted July 28, 2023 Every year teams run around in shorts and helmets and every year the fans and the media overreact and play fill in the blanks with their "wisdom". 1 Quote
RichRiderBills Posted July 28, 2023 Posted July 28, 2023 I would look hard at Phins QB moves and poach Skylar Thompson of PS if they are so bold as to cut him. Would be pretty dumb w Tua's issues....but who knows? Quote
