Why would a practice squad signing ever affect a starter?
Exactly, if anything it is a bump to Kevin O’Connell stock. He will be activated as the #2 on game day.
Was going to start a separate thread on this. But Kevin O'Connell was a second attempt at finding a Brady heir.... Guit being the first. In fact, the Pats were often considering it a 3 QB race late (yeah, could be empty rhetoric), but obviously they've realized Cassel isn't the future. Otherwise, they wouldn't keep rolling the dice. It's not like they couldn't keep paying Cassel.If Cassel gets hurt.... losing two QBs in a season isn't extremely rare. Or if he just struggles for two weeks in a row, and/or O'Connell looks good in mop up duty. For deep leagues, Pats believers, or NFL playoff centric leagues (i.e. leagues that go thru the playoffs).... O'Connell isn't the worst handcuff nor shark move. Keep yer eyes peeled.
