I’d bring him in a see how he looks. Similar to what we have in Bernard and Dorian…. Only older. I think I’d rather turn it over to the kids, but can’t hurt to see what he can do in a workout

It’s not a Kincaid/knox thing. It’s a Kincaid is a big WR that we will hopefully pay as a TE for the next 12+ years thing. And he’ll work out.

I think that should be 5 drafts as the 6th draft class hasn’t had a chance to prove stardom. Our top 2 picks have a chance to double the list of 2. I think Rousseau may add his name to this list this season as well. Taron isn’t a “star” but he’s in the conversation for the best slot corner in the league. Beane has had a tough time on day 2. AINT no doubt about it.

Sorry I’m being lazy, did they announce what we got in return?

Good. Less games to be injured

Bad pick. Cutting ties and getting something in return. Although many like to complain that Beane holds onto his picks due to ego.

How about Howie Roseman drafting Jaelen Raegor over Justin Jefferson. Hold him accountable!!

Link?

Sweet. Hope we get a 3rd, but I’ll be happy with Joel Klopfenstein He was. He signed and extension

He’ll raise the floor a couple millimeters once he learns the playbook. I’d add him to the PS if he’d join. My problem with him is injuries, although he stayed mostly healthy last season

He will Reading your initial post, this was def NOT your point

He might be THE best blocking WR by far. He was last season.

I was hoping we’d draft him late. Love his skill set for a backup. Grade A kid. Great work ethic. Mobile. Sign me up

Please noooooo Mason Rudolph!!!

He’s also 4-3 as a starter while playing for a bad team. Kyle Allen is 2-12 in his last 14 starts.

I think he’d go 0-3 if he were playing any of the top 23 or so teams

Interesting thought @Alphadawg7 i don’t believe it to be the case though. He’s been playing well. Elam has not. Dane is what he is. Good depth, below average starter. If Dane is our starter, i think our chances of winning a SB will have slightly decreased to my original chances. Unless Elam has secretly played lights out in camp, I think trading Benford would be a poor choice unless it were for a good MLB or OT

Right….. which is why we should have a backup that can make plays with his legs. It gives us more ways to win. It opens up another aspect of offense that the d will have to focus on. Most backup qbs aren’t going to be winning games with their arms unless they’re being paid more than what we are willing to pay. The minimum salary guys are generally not good enough to win with their arms. So if your backup QB isn’t going to be winning with their arm, why not have a guy that can win with their legs? If your backup QB sucks, I’d rather have a guy with mobility. I’d really like Sam ehlinger as a cheap backup. I think he could start and accumulate a win or 2 as a starter.

It’s how I feel right now. By all accounts, he’s been bad on most days in training camp. He’s been bad in games unless he’s playing against third stringers. He was bad last season. What have you done for me lately….. not in 2019. He doesn’t look the same. I hope he’s on the PS

I wouldn’t just want someone different if I thought the guy we had could win some games. I don’t think he’s capable unless he went up against the worst or the worst pass rushing teams. We saw how bad he was vs the terrible Colt pass rush. his previous game film doesn’t mean anything to me. He’s thrown very few passes since 2019 and looks to have regressed while getting few reps. Many players regress sitting on the bench getting backup reps. Watching him play this year, I don’t think he’s the same player as his starting game film. i didn’t necessarily like Case Keenum either. I’d prefer a backup QB with some wheels that can escape the inevitable pass rush and make a play with his legs. I liked him more than Allen. My point in all this. I care about the backup QB. This notion that if a backup QB has to play, the season is over is 🗑️.

I think it’ll be one or zero. I wish it were 2-3 but I don’t find that to be realistic. QB, OT, MLB

EVERY game is going to matter this year. If another backup could win ONE game that Kyle Allen couldn’t, it could save the entire season. I think there’s a better chance of Kyle Allen going 0-3 than winning a game. we saw how he looked playing with many starters vs the vaunted Colt defense

You’ve moved the goalposts of our conversation while putting words in my mouth. I’m not talking about paying a backup QB anymore than Kyle Allen. You asked who cares about the backup QB and are operating under the assumption that if Allen gets hurt, the season is over. It’s a very flawed way of thinking. I would hope that our GM doesn’t share the same shortsighted view. I didn’t say we had to pay a good backup. I think there are other minimum salary QBs that can help us win games better than Kyle Allen can. I think that just about any mobile QB would give us a better chance to win than Kyle Allen. Maybe I’m being harsh, but I think he’s terrible

Some injuries may require him to miss a handful of games. You can pretend to know that that’s not possible…. That he’ll just play through every injury that isn’t season ending…. But it’s not true. It happened his rookie year and can happen any year.

No. He is not average. it’s a weakness 💯
