Preseason game 2 - who impressed who needs to get their ass cut

The game played out like I expected. Plummer will not make the 53 as most of the guys you didn't watch last night but are bitching about. I doubt most of the wr's that played last night will make the roster save for Mingo and Moore. I think Moore replaces TMJ and ISM will be cut. Coker will not make the 53 but may make the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Evero has done a fantastic job with the defense. It's going to suck when we lose him when he gets a HC job. I like the Canales playbook but it's clear that the depth on the Oline and QB just aren't good enough to run it. Hopefully we can get a chance to see what it will look like with guys who will actually make this team in the next game.

There are a couple of possible qb3's that could be cut, assuming we carry 3 qb's that is. None will satisfy the fanbase for immediate competition for Bryce, as if there was one out there that could beat him out for qb1. Hilarious.

The way I understand it, we only have our choice with the players on the waiver wire--4 years or less experience---and not the veterans who are cut and become immediate free agents....Not sure I would do this, but if you took Zappe you would have a backup for 2 seasons--cutting Dalton who is gone after this season.  You would also add over $1m to the salary cap--again, probably not worth it....I think QB 3 is going to be a PS player.

He will probably make the team but ISM needs to go.  He just isn’t good IMO.  Would like to see Blacksheer get some looks on returns.

He played the full game again this week and has shown nothing. The media noticed and asked Canales in his post game presser about it. I actually think he initially makes the final 53 but gets cut 24 hrs later when waiver wire pickups become official

Yea I would love to steal Milton as a long term project if they try to send him to practice squad.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
