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.

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?

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!

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.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
