Why Tommy Stevens will be the #3 QB

Yes, and they felt they could convert him to a TE--maybe replace Hill and his contract, but that did not happen and they could not keep him.  We want him to be a player like Hill--not a pure TE, and both are listed as #3 QBs.  Obviously Brady loved his athleticism and Hill has value if used correctly--they just did not need 2 Hills in the big easy. We had no Hills, now we have a Hill.  At the very least he helps us prepare for New Orleans twice a year, but I sense he will have an expanding role like Hill does.  (Hill makes about $12m this year---who cares about the #3 QB?)

Having two Hills would be an uphill battle and quite the hill to climb all year long. Brady knew Stevens more that most coaches from working with him at Penn St. He was his guy and tried to stay loyal to us and not become a Saint until those jerks drafted him and left him no choice.

Well, you expect a JAG as your #3 QB. He is a JAG or lower, that is really a given. If he can help with special teams, he adds value that Walker or Will Grier do not add. 

I doubt seriously he will ever be used like Taysom Hill because I would hope our coaches aren't fuging dopes like Sean Peyton is and use some gimmick player for the sake of wanting to look like a genius.

Thank you for making my point. I agree with you, and not the tommy stevens can play 7 different positions crowd.

If Taysom Hill played for any other team he would not see the field.

he wont make the team...

 

That is possible too. He has to add enough value to beat out whoever is ahead of him in those positions he is being considered for. If he is mediocre at everything that doesn't really make him valuable, regardless of how versatile he is.

I definitely understand the value of having a Joe Webb type guy but he has to show that ability and proficiency, as well.

OK I think I understand Steven's role better now.

He's not a traditional #3 developmental pure QB.  

Stevens is a gadget player who also contributes on special teams.   And he can play emergency QB if necessary.   

I still don't see that as more valuable for the roster spot than stashing another OL or DL (especially a DL - you can never have too many of those guys to rotate in and keep everybody fresh).

Dont worry stevens can play OL and DL too.

If he can trot his ass out there like Taysom Hill...and deliver....ok...i'll know in 5 plays whether he can throw a wrinkle in the O..

Yep. I don't think there is gonna be a question about whether he can do it or not. 

...We need an injection of the element of surprise in the O...some of the  teams do it...its got to be constructed right tho.. if hes the man to do it...more power to him...be a nice change up from the predictability of FOX/Riv ball... of which i know whos getting the ball every play...

I am very concerned we are gonna see a return to force feeding the ball to CMC. Not sure how many noticed how he was often used in his limited action last season.

    • Smitty and Lance Zierlein see eye to eye on the top four, then they start diverging a little bit. It's an hour and 18 minutes.    Link only (due to NFL content.) https://youtu.be/LDzLS0viRX4?si=P5JkRNA8eqevnpHc Again, if you like hearing about receivers, give it a listen. I know at this point that it's easy to get overwhelmed and/or simply tired of too many opinions. That being said, I found the discussion about some of the receivers pretty interesting.  Tidbits: Both have Nabers WR1, but you can't go wrong with Harrison or Odunze. Smitty has Ladd at 8, Zierlein at 5. Smitty has Worthy at 5. Sixth is AD who needs to work on route running. Zierlein said two ex-receivers that Smitty knows have expressed concerns (and, just guessing, it could be Keyshaun & Irving). Legette is 9th. Which Legette are you getting? Many of these receivers, including Odunze will have to play in specific roles for them to shine.  Pearsall is 14th. He can play outside but eats in the slot.   The most interesting thing to me about watching these many analysts is that they all agree that where a guy is drafted and how he is deployed absolutely matters. It can make or break careers. Sure, you have some guys that can do it all, but those aren't as prevalent as we'd like to think, that's why putting guys in the best situations to succeed is so crucial. At the same time, you may not even know all the guy can do based upon the offense he was in on the collegiate level, so you at least have to explore the possibility that he can do more. Coaching is so important.     
    • I never tried HGH but tried a number of different gear related items over the years to include, test cypionate, test enanthate, sustanon, equipoise, masteron, primobolan, anavar and winstrol and damn sure enjoyed all of them. I heard a lot of good on HGH but also some bad. They sure do help in the short term over a number of years but when the playing days come  to an end you end up regretting all that stuff when you get past your 20's and into late 30's and early 40's. I would most definitely advise Bryce to avoid at all costs even if it means him losing his career. Gear is a silent killer and it slowly takes years off your life. Nearly killed me years later. He needs some good nutrition, some hard weight training and some explosive training on a field and I bet Bryce would very much have improved performance on game days. Drew Brees while taller than Bryce by a little was in fact very strong for his size and trained very hard for that strength which I believe helped him to be who in my opinion could possibly be tied for the best QB ever. Bryce needs to get on the Drew Brees training and nutrition plan.
