tank, you have been putting some great BP posts in here and keeping the BP optimism all offseason, it's great to see

Yes I agree its not about *height, arm strength, and 40 speed -* instead of what really matters.

Which is the point of watching his college tapes and looking at his target progression just a little beyond his college receivers and just right for the pros. His poise is also miles above most rookie QBs.

We will see if he grows this year but as I said before I'm pulling for the kid.

Can't wait for camp.....

Approx Two weeks away! Dun dun dunnn can't freakin wait. I hope Trey is balling too and it becomes a real competition between the two. I'd rather see Lance get the remaining first team reps instead of darnold.

can't wait to see how the rep splits go when Brock is out there and when he will be out there

I know my optimistic side thinks we have 3 good QBs and one may turn out great 👍 I like Trey as well the anti Baker Mayfield. I also want him to get the first team reps, let's see what he can do. This two weeks is very slow for us lol.

I think we have 1 QB (Brock) that we know can play at a high level but have questions about maintaining after the injury and additional tape on him.

then we have 1 QB (Trey Lance) that is super raw but seems to have made a lot of progress this off season. Right now, pre camp, I think we can rely on Lance to play at a mediocre level and help us beat bad-average teams but not the top teams. He could have a big time camp and become a real threat, but it's his inexperience that worries me the most regarding playing good teams. I feel like he hasn't played enough top defenses or complex schemes to be effective, but that's to be seen.

then we have 1 QB (Darnold) that I'll only be optimistic if he's playing if it means Brock/Lance is coming back from the injury and it isn't season ending. If he's the leader for the rest of the season, I see us as one and done in the playoffs at best. I don't think we can truly compete with the top teams because our team relies on not turning the ball over.

last year we lead the +/- regarding turnovers Vs takeaways - that was instrumental in us winning the way we did. So i doubt we can be even top 10 in that catagory with someone like darnold. I think darnold can be respectable if it's a few games while Brock gets healthy.

I think we have one QB (Brock) who has superlative instincts and judgement, and if he can get one to two weeks of full go in practice, and one to two weeks of light go, which he's on schedule to do, he's your quarterback. I don't expect to see him in a preseason game healthy or not.

Then we have 1 QB (Trey Lance) that is super raw that Kyle will be very reluctant to start. He's got physical skills, and he's a smart kid, but he's a Long way from Prime Time. This team is Prime Time. I think the FO has determined that they are not going to invest this roster in him, and since it will take perhaps a couple of years for him to develop, and then you can't know how far he will come, I don't see him being even the primary BU.

Then we have 1 QB (Darnold) that was also a 3rd overall pick, has immense physical talent, that was a Kyle draft crush when he came out even though he threw too many picks at USC, he's been with crap teams and coaches in the NFL, and, surprise surprise, he's still thrown too many picks. Kyle thinks he can work with him and get him to let the plays and our playmakers come to him. I don't know. But I wouldn't bet the house against it either. I don't know about the house, but I would bet Kyle's going to have more confidence in the 6 year veteran he's worked with than whatever experience he can find in the magnifying glass in Lance's resume.

Here's the deal. Kyle has always preferred to go with two QB's, and put one on the PS. I know, I know. Don't even say it, because I don't believe Kyle and John are wired like fans. For a team to use 3 quarterbacks is about a one in twenty chance, and they don't see recent history being their fault, and we have too much talent to protect. With these three, we can't put one on the practice squad. With Brandon Allen, we can. If we can get more than a 2nd for Trey, I believe we will.

Does anyone know exactly how the emergency third QB will work roster wise? Does he have to be on the active? Or are they now allowed to count the practice squad qb as active on gameday?

im super curious how it works and how it affects who is active and who isn't, practice squad, and if we keep three on active roster

I agree with what you are saying regarding Brock. However we just don't know about the other 2.

Trey may be better than we have seen or could just not have the time to develope with this team. I'm hoping he gets some reps to see what progress he has made or not made.

Sam was a QB I thought would be good and like Trey never had the right environment for a Rookie to flourish.

I am being optimistic when I say we may have 3 good QBs. We shall see soon when camp and pre season starts. 🤞🤞🤞

In Summary:

*The 53-man roster is now 55, given the 2-man bump you are allowed from the practice squad every week.

*From these players to choose from, you are to designate your 47 players that are active for the week.

*If you have at least 8 OLinemen dressing, that 47 then turns to 48.

*The new Emergency QB rule now essentially allows 49 total players to dress, but only if that 3rd QB isint part of the 48. A redundant point in a way, but not really, because if the other 2 QBs are deemed eligible to play by medical staff, the 3rd QB has to go back and take a seat. If that 3rd QB is within the 48, they of course can come in and out of the game whenever.

*The Emergency QB cannot be 1 of the 2 players you are allowed to bump up from the practice squad on a weekly basis. In other words, he has to be part of the 53-man roster.

*Game now over, the 2 players bumped from the practice squad are now essentially allowed to automatically be "cut" from the 55-man roster and go back to your practice squad without having to pass through waivers.

You could only bump up an individual player two times per season. That's now increased to three times.

So we would have to keep darnold on the 53 man roster in order to do the whole 3rd qb thing. Kinda sucks that we will waste a roster spot that we hope to never have to use. Lol

in recent memory we've needed a third QB but realistically, the odds of you going through three QBs jn a game is so slim. They should of made it so a practice squad guy could continually be third emergency qb.

I don't even know how someone can have this opinion after last season.

Cause I don't live my life with "oh no, prepare for the absolute worst thing that can happen, no matter how unlikely it is".

what dont people realize - if you're down to you're third QB… YOURE 99.99% NOT WINNING THE SUPERBOWL. You sure as hell aren't beating Philly, Dallas, KC. Etc.

as much as people want to think this is a "plug any qb in and we will be contenders".. it's nonsense. Kyle has a mediocre win loss record cause he's been playing with QB2 & QB3.

every qb exceot Brock & jimmy have a winning record here with Kyle. Everyone else we have a .300 record of sometbing, bottom of the barrel.

if we are down to darnold, we are screwed anyways. Lol does having a body matter that much? Does it matter if it's darnold or allen? Just don't run Lance 15+ times a game like a moron and we will be fine.

if those guys go down with season ending injuries, it's over. Lol

it only worked last season cause our worst qb was starting and our best was third string. Jimmy was in the middle. Usually doesn't go that way - see every other team last year
[ Edited by tankle104 on Jul 18, 2023 at 8:51 AM ]
I know we like Brock, but I don't want another Jimmy situation where we have a middling QB because we didn't want to develop our Mahomes.

But maybe we have Drew Brees. I hope we find out sooner than later.

Emergency QB does not count as part as the 53
