One thing G-man said on Panther Talk last night.

[top dawg]

I usually try to listen to Panther Talk on Monday nights (even though I am at work).  I missed most of what G-man said, but I did hear him say  that if Joe Webb plays well enough to make the final roster, then he will make the final roster.  G-man expounded by basically shooting down the idea that he would keep someone at a needier position if they didn't play up to the level of someone else at another position.

 

Much like he has a general philosophy of drafting the BPA, regardless of position, it sounds to me like he incorporates that same ideology when deciding who makes the team.

 

Take it how you want.  G-man strikes me as a man of his word.  I just thought I'd share the parallel.

I like Webb, but I just don't know that we have the luxury right now of keeping a third QB over another quality player at a position of need.

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

Webb is much more than a 3rd QB. He is a multipurpose player who can run the option better than DA and line up as a WR.

So Webb had a decent game against a bunch of guys that won't make the 53 roster for either team.

Only way Webb makes this team is if Gettle plans on unloading some salary and drops DA this year or next.

Webb could easily go to the practice squad. DA just got an extension this offseason I believe....he is staying this year. Webb isn't better at QB.

[Jeremy Igo]

Gettleman isn't going to even hint at any individual player being cut yet. Not sure what he was expected to say?

Yea, that is not possible,

[TheRed]

He's not eligible for the practice squad.

Webb doesn't have practice squad eligibility.

I did hear him say that if Joe Webb plays well enough to make the final roster, then he will make the final roster.

The quote and sentiment are nice but there is some grey area IMO. For example Joe Webb May be a more talented football player than let's say a 5-7 DB but the likelihood of him contributing to the team as a 3rd string QB is less than the lower ranked DB. The DB can maybe work himself into the rotation or contribute on ST.

As I recall, the question wasn't about being cut, it was about the speculation as to whether or not he would keep three QBs on the roster, in light of Joe Webb's success, in lieu of another position. G-man, in his own kinda matter-of-fact way, basically said the best player would be retained, period.

By all means we still have three preseason games, so anything can happen. I'm just saying, if Webb balls out, then don't be surprised.

It shouldn't be forgetten that part of the reason he is here is because he has a similiar play to Cam.  Not nearly as good but could be a better use for us in case of an emergency.  

 

If he displays the same ability in the next couple preseason games than I am all for him making the team.

 

Some gotta remember we can only dress so many of the 53.   But unlike the other positions if an emergency were to happen the 3rd QB (undressed) could be activated during a game.  (I believe that is what the rule says)  However, if he isn't on your roster you are pretty much screwed.

[rmoneyg35]

I could see him being on the roster but inactive come game time. I believe we will keep him. I see us cutting Godfrey and also I could see us putting a few players like Philly Brown, Lucas, ect on practice squad. We could cut him and resign him if Cam gets hurt.
