What about Pike?

Recommended Posts

We have a thread on how great Moore is, and on how crappy Clausen is, so I think that the current Huddle standards are being met. But what about Pike? Think he makes it on to the final roster? You can assume Clausen will, he's under contract and Hurney believes in him. And of course, Newton takes a spot. That leaves one roster spot, unless we carry four QBs.

So, do we sign a vet and cut Pike? Or do we carry four QBs? What do you think?

Tony Pike--ex Cincy QB who this Fantasy Football expert predicted would be an all-pro someday. You know, the tall skinny kid?

I wondered what happened to him. I mean, we should have seen more of him given our QB situation last year.

pretty sure he blew away in the wind.

but seriously, about the only thing he has on clausen right now is the fact he's largely unknown. He'll get his chance in training camp, just like Clausen, but he's gonna have to show WAY more to keep his spot.

personally, I dont think our backup qb is on the team. Cam Newton will be the starter, he will be a scrambling qb and will have a playbook designed for his scrambling skills. It only makes sense to have a backup capable of those plays as to not throw off the entire offense. Who that will be, I dunno. There is a remote possibility that armani is groomed to be cams backup since he has similar skills.

Who knows anything about any of our QB's after last year. FoxyscrewJRball was a disaster. If Pike had potential it was not going to be uncovered or developed last year.

Okay let's just stop it there, he pretty much has no potential.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
