For whatever you think of him (and I'm not a big Trubisky fan, for sure) it'd probably still be kinda hard to justify giving Trubisky less of a contract than Taylor Heinecke got.
-
I get that. And I can see it to a point. I'd just have to know they can develop into something more than a guy who runs around a lot and throws the ball really far. There's way more to being a successful quarterback than that.
-
Either, honestly. it's okay to have a guy that needs more development as your backup, but he still needs the right characteristics.
-
Athleticism is way down my list of priorities. Accuracy, intelligence and the ability to make quick reads are prime factors. Anything beyond that is gravy. Quarterbacks whose prime characteristic is their athleticism don't last anywhere near as long in the NFL as great passers.
-
Excluding developmental guys that teams are trying to train for the future, most organizations look at the backup quarterback one of two ways: A) We want him to be as good as possible just in case our starter suffers a big injury and he needs to play several games B) If our starter gets hurt, we're screwed anyway so let's just get somebody cheap Which of these options do you prefer?
-
That game showed both sides of the coin. He played very well but got hurt and they thought he was gonna have to leave the game.

I've got a feeling that story's bullsh-t but I suppose it's possible. Pretty sure Easterby and Caserio share an agent, i.e. the guy who convinced McNair that we were ready to throw crazy money at Caserio if he didn't hire him immediately. That story was absolute bullsh-t.
-
I actually think it's possible we'll be worse this year than last year. I'm okay with that as long as we see progress in year three.

One of my uncles served under Patton. I didn't know about it until I was in college. Hated him. Said he was a glory hound. Same uncle loved Omar Bradley though. Said Bradley used to smear mud over his stars so he wouldn't be distinguishable from the enlisted men.

Wentz update: Trade is close, with three teams involved
Mr. Scot replied to Mr. Scot's topic in Carolina Panthers
If Reich weren't their coach, I'm not sure the Colts would be offering anything at all. -

Back with Frank Reich is probably the best place for him. -
"In the hunt" isn't enough anymore. The few good seasons we've had have been "in the hunt" or at best "almost". If we're still willing to settle for that, why bother getting rid of Rivera and Hurney?

I hope we're not. The Colts are offering more than I would. -
I don't think there's going to be a trade, but if there is one the easiest kind to sell to the fans would be swapping Watson for another established quarterback. Naturally, that takes us out of the equation.
-
That's not actually what happened, but it gets remembered that way a lot. Watson didn't ask to be included on the GM and head coach decisions. McNair offered to include him. Then when the time came, he didn't do it. I think making the offer in the first place was dumb, but if you're going to make the offer and then not follow through on it, that's a whole other level of stupid.

My significant other is a huge Cowboy fan and a big Dak Prescott fan, though. I fear the Panthers acquiring Prescott would have a bad effect on my love life
-
Regardless of what team I'm with, I'd want to see what Prescott looks like after that major injury before I'd offer anything for him.
