Albany,n.y. Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 He has his 2 backups on the practice squad & will probably keep them there until he uses up the callups on Hoyer. He also has Garrett Gilbert on the PS after Dallas let him go. Not surprising that he has pulled off another legal way of getting around roster limits.

Cruiserplayer Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 In our fantasy league Bill never drafts a kicker or dst. He is always bending the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 So who cares. the BU QB is better and more important than some NAVY or Wake Alum sitting at roster spot 53. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17islongenough Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 They have Hoyer on the PS. With the rules this year it's not that big of a deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 7 minutes ago, goober said: Is that strategically getting around limits or having garbage backup QBs It means their backups are so bad they aren’t worth a roster spot on 31 other teams and willing to accept PS money. 1 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Beating them again this year will be fun. I think there is a good chance that the bloom will be off the Hoodie rose by seasons end. NES drafting hasn’t been All That for a while and I’m not buying the pervasive opinion that he is smarter than everyone else. MJ might not be trash but he certainly isn’t a treasure either. And Gilbert???? Hoyer???? Puleeeeze😵 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 What this means is teams will take extra shots on rookie QB in a game when the QB has no backup in a game especially on teams which coaching staff is not secure. This must be why Brian Flores was meeting with Gregg Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, I an retired military and watched many inter service games, they are not prepping you to be an NFL QB.

Nelius Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 The Patriots are going to be so awful this year. This is not a case of Belicheat turning absolutely nothing into a pesky playoff bubble team, this is the bottom falling out.

He's just not cutting players subject to waivers for now. Every team does it. I don't know of any team doing what NE is doing-having their 2nd string QB on the practice squad with only 1 QB on the 53 man roster. Hoyer's not being re-signed like the Bills did with Freguson. BB did the same thing with his PKs part of last season, calling them up from the PS on game days & not having them on the 53 man roster. He doesn't have to be on the 53 man roster to be active on gameday, they just need to use one of his call ups, but if it's the same as last year each practice squad player is oly eligible to be called up to a certain amount of games. After NE uses up Hoyer's call ups he will either have to be added to the 53 or they'll have to get more PS QBs if Gilbert uses up his call ups too.

Really looking forward to the Dolphins vs. Patriots week one game. Somebody's got to lose! Tua has some pretty good skill players now but I still think he is going to struggle against the Patriots D. Even without Gilmore. As for Mac Jones. Freaking Dolphins D better not let him have a decent game. New England will probably just run it anyway though. Mac will have like 18-20 pass attempts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coach wants to leave theirs teams destiny in the hands of a backup. So... And yet, injuries including at the QB position are a fact of life, and those teams who have cultivated some decent depth will be unquestionably better off when the time comes…see Bills with Trubisky, who arguably will be a starter again next year somewhere. Hostetler & Foles even won Super Bowls as backups who had to step in during those years—to say nothing of Reich, who engineered the greatest comeback in NFL history as a career backup… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
