Tuel was not here to start this year...Marrone said "In a perfect world, he would be on the practice squad. However he played so well in presease, Marrone felt he couldn't put him on the practice squad for fear that he would be plucked by another team. Does that sound like a coaching staff that has no faith in him for future purposes? Though this weekend may not be very good because he is still green, he was seen as a long term developmental QB. What did you all expect?
HE IS A ROOKIE!!! Wow! He's still gotta learn. Again, Marrone didn't want to put him on the practice squad because he was afraid other teams may want to take him off the squad. He's a developmental QB. Apparently, Marrone feels most comfortable with him at this point. Not very many choices, he's the best at this point. Tuel is not horrible, he's just young and green and developing.
