If you keep 3 QBs on the 53, you better feel real good about the potential of #3. That spot could be used for someone who helps you today, not 2-3 years from now. 

yes. unless it's a true developmental guy like Corral, you don't want to use that 3rd. Have realistic expectations for that potential 3rd spot and who you have available. If you can keep them on the PS, do it.

I'm going to whisper this one into the void as to not get rippadon's attention:

Carson Strong

Strong has 1 pass attempt and no completions.  It would take a miracle for him to land on a roster.

if he gets cut I would bring him in to have a look but there is a reason he didnt get drafted

Imagine if we picked him up and don't give him reps (which would actually make sense).  He might explode.....

id bring him in just to look at the knee, pretty sure we didnt use one of our visits predraft on him so it wouldnt hurt to just see whats going on.  He does have a howitzer for an arm

I'd much rather have a rookie with potential as our backup than Sam.  I was hoping Corral would become the 2 before the season was over, but we all know how that went....

I figured he'd do OK there.  Only place he's being mentioned is on eagles boards. They assume he's just not worth the time . Though it doesn't sound like they had any expectations for him.

He's apparently underwhelmed in the preseason/TC. Granted, he seems to be dealing with the same issue Corral was in receiving limited reps throughout, but based on what I have seen he has not been spectacular in the limited chances he has bene given.

Oh damn, I thought it was a knee thing, I dont follow the eagles so I just assumed.

apparently Reid Sinnett came into camp much improved from last season and the team has been mulling over the idea of trading away either him or Minshew to gain some assets in the draft. 

Because Sinnett has looked so good, Strong just hasn't gotten any opportunities and is looking like the odd man out.

I can guarantee you the head coach feels better about the third-string QB than the first.

No you can't.

 

Guess we'll see if he's cut and not retained, then.

What should happen...

Trade Darnold for a bag of used footballs. 

Keep PJ on the practice squad. 

Grab Skylar Thompson from Miami. I might give a late round pick for that. 

Matt… is that you?

If we are good enough to contend for a playoff spot, I would prefer Sam.  Not great, but maybe capable of winning a game or two if Mayfield is out.  

Plus anyone else we bring in will mean we have to pay them.  Not a lot of course, but we would be paying them, while Sam's cap hit is still on the books.

I'd love to see Skylar brought in as a another developmental QB assuming he doesn't make their 53 ... sadly he may have played too well for the Dolphins to feel comfortable to try to stash.
