Canales and Mike White

[Jmac]

Rewatched Whites stint with the Jets and he played well. Big guy with a big arm. Looks like the kind of QB that Canales could work with and fit his schemes.

I don't buy into the high pick QB bullcrap any more after what I have seen on the field. Canales helped develop Mayfield into the QB he is today, older QB at that.  Many high picks just end up sucking. Is it possible that White could excel here and be the guy? Watch some film and you tell me.

Mike White won’t ever be the guy. Here or anywhere else.

Right now, I think any QB situation is a crap-shoot at this stage in the season. How fast can a guy get on the same page after no exposure to even a playbook here much less relationship building with teammates? Not saying it can't happen, but I don't think we're looking at a San Fran-type situation where the starter goes down and an off-the-street backup (because Mac Jones was really pretty much assigned washup status before the season) takes over and excels. 

I hope we hit on something. You never know. Baker was terrible here and went at midseason to LA and just blossomed. Then he went to Tampa Bay and Canales and grew into what he could have been. Maybe Canales can do that with Hooker or White. Sure would be something to see.

He's not gonna be the answer but for the offense Canales wants to run we want a guy with an arm. Baker was well suited for what he wants to do.

Remember him from a few seasons ago, lively arm and mobile.

No qb has been successful with the Jets so you can't hold that against him.

Banking your hopes on a couch FA that has a cup of tea NFL career to date as an almost 31 year old QB is certainly something. Especially when you consider that he has spent literally zero time in our offense so far.

I think that White might be solid competition and possibly be better than Hendon Hooker, which is certainly a very low bar to clear. 

That's probably about where the level is for White. He's a potential upgrade to our PS QB.

Baker mayfield was a first overall pick

I meant that saying that about the Jets while we've also made Darnold and Baker look like guys who shouldn't be in the league

[woahfraze]

What in the world? 

White wasn’t signed even to a practice squad this far into the season for a reason. He’s a bum.

We didn’t pick him up to backup Dalton since Bryce is out. We picked him up to provide insight into the Bills’ scheme and locker room, since he was on their team last year.

This is also true. 

Darnold was showing improvement miraculously under Wilkes those last few games of the season when he was inserted back as the starter.

I think Mayfield just wanted out of Carolina and was checked out he looks nothing like did when he was here.

Mayfield was #1 overall and brought the Browns to the playoffs.

We thinking of the same Mike White? He probably won’t even make it off the practice squad.
