I don't think most actually watch a snap of his 2024 or 2025 preseason games. There is a reason a 3rd round draft pick was jettisoned so quickly for.....Kyle Allen.

He is atrocious.

Well, as far as backups go, Kyle Allen is actually a decent one.  Better at this point than Dalton probably.

That being said, Hooker apparently had an atrocious game against the Texans.

He did something right. Player of the year in 2022 in the SEC. They beat Alabama in one of the best college football games ever.

I liked hooker in the draft and he hasn't had the effect I thought, but the deal here is would you rather have plummer or hooker on the scout team.....10/10 gimmie hooker. 

I mean considering the fact that Hooker is already 27 so pretty much past fixable and not really all that mobile I think Bryce Perkins would be the most versatile scout team qb out of the 3. Hooker>Plummer though for sure if Perkins wasn't/isn't an option.

Bryce Perkins is 28.

On what basis are people 27 years old unable to learn?

Hooker still seems to be the same QB he was in college. Super slow to process. Accuracy issues. It would take a miracle for him to become a dependable backup at this point given his age

I like him, he's from here in Greensboro, never really got the chance because of injury at end of senior year and then was sitting behind a suddenly and impressively reinvigorated Goff.

Practice squad signing here is a really good move. Maybe he can grow into the roll a bit more and take over back-up QB duties after Dalton hangs up the cleats. If not, maybe he can just be a really good player to run practice drills here. 

Either way, a good kid gets to keep living the dream for a while longer and get a paycheck. I've got no problem with that!

QBs and Kickers, we have a problem with that.

To be honest, most qb's on the practice squad just aren't good enough to become dependable NFL backs. A few might be, but they are relatively rare.

Yeah, I dont think age is the issue.
