They announced that a day or two ago. That they wanted to get JFF up to speed a little, then mix it up and see if either guy could go out and win it.
I think it's different. Cleveland is installing a new system with two QB's who have a combined 4 starts between them. Manuel missed a lot of time last year, but it's the same system; just with upgraded weaponry. I didn't expect either QB to look great right now. I expect to see progress throughout the preseason though.But for the names, you could have just written a Bills camp-to-date review. Something about Lake Erie this year.
We will see injuries at QB so I'm not worried about it because its inevitable.
possible they're trying to figure out if they're even going to carry 3 QBs this year.several teams only carry 2 these days.
It was the first pre-season game. It's pretty standard for third string QBs to get the most playing time, even when the first two don't have a lot of experience. I guess keeping people healthy is the main priority of the first game.
agreed. tho he'd better quit that sliding head first crap or he'll be on the IR before camp ends...
Thought he went feet first maybe besides once when he should have. Got out of bounds on a play or two avoiding contact. He made some solid throws from the pocket. A few throws that will be completions in the future. First game success imo.
My question is why is Tyler Thigpen your 3rd QB? That roster spot is typically reserved for a younger player you are trying to develop... thigpen is an older player who already flamed out in KC and Miami
Well Manziel is that "development" guy... and if Hoyer goes down via injury and Manziel struggles, as a head coach would you really want to possibly lean on another 22-23 year old "development" rookie as your starter if Manziel also goes down?
Ooof... That won't turn out well.
oh those crazy browns... drop the 30 year old 3rd string QB for a 34 year old one.... BRILLIANT
You mean the veteran with experience in Shanny's offense that can help mentor the young guys because he knows he is not the answer at QB and is available to help both of them?
Isn't that what a QB coach is for? But instead of an actual prospect holding the clipboard you'd rather have a QB who has more career INT's than TD's? and his 17 games of experience in this system that produced 23TD's and 24 INT's and a QB Rating of 72? I'd be aiming for a better "mentor"
I'm sure there are better examples, but Colt McCoy was semi-competent for his experience level when he had Jake Delhomme to mentor him. When Delhomme wasn't re-signed and Seneca Wallace became the only veteran QB presence McCoy's play slipped. Wallace made it no secret he was playing for a job and wasn't going to help the young guy whereas Delhomme went out of his way to help him. So, yes, I think it can make a difference.
interesting. hadn't thought about that. except Johnson would be done by the time they got a decent QB.
i don't think it means anything either, but where did they even come up with the whole trade Hoyer to Houston thing?
I guess it came from this tweet from former NFL QB Sage Rosenfels.
I've never understood the obsession of trading a quality backup. So you can be totally screwed when/if the starter gets injured?
that and i think Hoyer starts most of the year.
we'll have to agree to disagree.
big contract and on the old side?wouldn't expect a whole lot IF Houston wants Hoyer as their starter.
Damn. Still rooting for you guys, but it doesn't look good. Was hoping that Johnny Football would be a savior. Let's just hope it was an off night that becomes a good learning experience.
defense may out score the offense this year, so much impact play back there. If Kirskey and Gilbert translate quickt here is not a hole anywhere on the unit.
thx, random dude from patsfans board
agree with your first sentence... but dont agree the coaches are hiding anything... there isnt enough talent at the WR position or the QB position for this offense to even be in the top 20 this year. then consider you have mediocre to bad QB's learning a new offense as another roadblock to success
