ngbills Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 At this point I am all for letting Allen ride this season out. But if he gets hurt or we need a number two I do not want to see Peterman back on the filed. So what is the plan at back up? I like the idea of a vet mentor guy. Also see taking a look at guys with potential. Some ideas below. Usual has been: D Anderson M Moore Huh Jay Cutler Colin Kaepernick Really Paxton Lynch Davis Webb I have heard of him Ryan Nassib Johnny Football 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Someone. We’re going to need someone unless Allen is the LeBron James of QBs, made of iron and unbreakable. Knock on wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuncha Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) How about Landry Jones? Steelers cut him before the season started. He seemed to be a decent backup. Edited September 12, 2018 by Azucho98 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceman_16 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Isn't EJ still out there? (/snicker) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I dont know but I think we are def now looking.....I didnt get the impression from McD that he still had confidence in Nate Peterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Let's go get AJ McCarron from the Raiders. I hear he knows our Offense already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was laughing to myself earlier thinking about this scenario. Trade back for him, give them a 3rd! JUST SEND HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiders only take Peterman if we throw in a 1st round pick. Otherwise they will give us AJ back for a 7th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Whoever they get better be mobile or they'll get killed behind this offensive offensive line. Landry and Manuel are both somewhat mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM57 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I know of a certain veteran QB whose best attribute is his mobility. Not sure our fanbase could handle it though. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) I think it will be Paxton, they already kicked the tires on him. If not him, I think the 2 other more likely options are Moore and Anderson. It SHOULD be Kap, who is best available, but that has a 0% chance of happening. They won't want the media circus around their prized young rookie Allen. SECRETLY HOPING its EJ so I can get my popcorn and watch this board meltdown over a backup QB Edited September 12, 2018 by Alphadawg7 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruden is terrible at evaluating qbs. EJ was better this preseason than AJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Moore is my choice. Landry Jones may be my 2nd choice. I’d seriously take any guy that is, or was, on a roster this year over Peterman. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 The backup will remain Peterman, What is the point again of signing a THIRD QB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that some (or all) of us believe that he isn’t an option as a number 2. He can’t play. Add a 3rd guy and in a week or so (whenever he learns the playbook) release NP. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
