I seriously doubt 2 of the 3 between QBs between Walker, Grier and Stevens are on the roster come September.  I'm more partial to Walker, personally. Chalk Grier up as a loss and move on.  It's on Marty Hurney that we are likely to flush a former 3rd round pick, but it's pointless to keep him based on draft position if the team thinks he doesn't have what it takes.

Why I can't say I have confidence in Grier, he's going into his 3rd year and he may be a lot better then last time we saw him.

His parents must be crushed by this news.  One more year at university and Kevin Thomson could have completed his doctorate degree in Footballology.

Bottom line:  Stay in school kids.

Sounds like the starting QB for the Uni team I played for here in the UK.

He was dogshit, but he was going for a Doctorate and was on the team committee, so obviously he started every game.

Would grad school students be  eligible to play for college teams?

Apparently there is a waiver for such players. Still not sure what this gentleman’s major is but grad student are apparently eligible to compete in Div 1 beyond the 4 year mark.

They should be. I kind of like Ramsey as a backup. Smart QB just has limited ability. I think he is capable of stepping in a game or two and playing safe football to steal a win/not lose the game.

Actually, yeah, I think he takes a roster spot here. Smart guy who has the skills to go in for an emergency run. He'd be a good observer on the sidelines as well and wouldn't be a threat to Darnold right now. 

If things went crazy, who knows, he might have a bit of that Jake spark in him.

He could put his skills to use here working out 14 years of practice squad eligibility.

If I remember correctly, teams are only allowed something like five tryout players this year.

If two of our five are going to be quarterbacks, our current backups might have reason to be a little nervous.

If you find yourself sitting in the Carolina Panthers QB room, you SHOULD be nervous.

I’m not sure another team has a QB room that from top to bottom could be shuffled at random and be close to the actual opening day roster?

Disagree. Darnold is the clear starter and head and shoulders above anyone else.

Beyond Darnold though, pretty much everyone else is easily replaceable.

I’ll concede that Sam is the starter day 1.  (And) I think he’s going to have success. However, if he doesn’t...  That’s gonna make more than Sam a little nervous.

      Monday practice tweets

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
