Talking heads around here think they will sign Colt McCoy.. I wanted Cunningham to be the backup since he is so different than Mac.. I hope he ends up on the practice squad..

Kind of feels like you'd want your backup to be able to run a similar offense as the starter, unless of course the starter is ***** terrible.

Actually with a good OC having two different style QBs wouldn’t be that big of a deal. If anything with the O line we have right now having someone can run for his life may come in handy!

It was year 2 for Brady.. but I get your point. A lot of Colts fans said it when they had Manning too. Also to add to your point he kept a 6th round QB around when the Pat’s had their 1st round Franchise QB.

BuffaloBillyG Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I think he's trying to get one or both through to the PS. Save a roster spot. Call up 1 on gameday for the first few weeks. I believe he did that with Hoyer a few years back. I would bet someone takes a look at Cunningham, though. Wonder if he can return kicks?🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergie's ire Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I seem to remember the Patriots did exactly the same thing two years ago, when Jones was a rookie. They decided to move on from Cam Newton and figured they could probably re-sign Brian Hoyer. Maybe they had an agreement, maybe they didn't. It's really not a bad strategy. Would we have been too upset if we cut Kyle Allen and just left Josh on the roster and then either re-signed Kyle or picked someone else up (like maybe Cunnningham off the waiver wire)? Here's the 2021 "final" Patriots roster before the 21 season: https://www.patspulpit.com/2021/8/31/22648576/new-england-patriots-initial-53-man-roster-after-cutdown-day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mood would be absolute joy at speculating what shiny new QB2 would be coming in, if it's someone that's a FA or a trade. People would hype up their choices all day long and be left with the return of the Peterman or Mason Rudolph and a PS QB that no one ever heard of...except one random poster that is hyped because they "really liked them coming out of college" a few years back.

The Frankish Reich Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 3 hours ago, Captain Hindsight said: Or an indication of how bad Bailey Zappe is Yeah, I'm gonna give him a pass on the drafting then cutting Zappe. If you're just not seeing it, then it's best to eat the sunk cost and move on. Zappe kind of reminds me of a Matt Flynn as Rodgers' backup. Gets in a few games and has great results. The Seahawks paid him to come in and be their QB after that. And then they drafted Russell Wilson in the 4th round, and Wilson thoroughly outplayed Flynn in camp and preseason. Pete Carroll made the right call. A less confident coach would've started Flynn ... ... we'll know when we see how much interest Zappe gets from other teams.

Note: less than half of the NFL has a qb3 on roster as of today. Edited August 30, 2023 by First Round Bust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
