One thing G-man said on Panther Talk last night.

I do not understand why the NFL does not allow all teams to keep a third QB and not have to use roster space. Give each team an extra roster spot for a 3rd QB.   I am not saying this because of Joe Webb.  I have always thought this.  I mean QB's get hurt all the time so in a game when one goes down a team is left with nobody else if the backup QB goes down, and then the next week has to go out and bring someone in off the street.  Teams should be able to keep a third QB and have a rule in place that person has to be a true QB, and make sure the team is not using that spot for another position player.

I like Webb, but I just don't know that we have the luxury right now of keeping a third QB over another quality player at a position of need.

 

 

I usually try to listen to Panther Talk on Monday nights (even though I am at work).  I missed most of what G-man said, but I did hear him say  that if Joe Webb plays well enough to make the final roster, then he will make the final roster.  G-man expounded by basically shooting down the idea that he would keep someone at a needier position if they didn't play up to the level of someone else at another position.

 

Much like he has a general philosophy of drafting the BPA, regardless of position, it sounds to me like he incorporates that same ideology when deciding who makes the team.

 

Take it how you want.  G-man strikes me as a man of his word.  I just thought I'd share the parallel.

But Webb already fits the system.

Remains to be seen. If things had gone our way wouldn't you rather have drafted Russell Wilson to be cams back up and that we can mold him for picks down the road or just get Webb and be happy with a guy who would never move past 3rd string

It's up to the team to manage their roster though.  Some teams do carry 3, others don't.  I don't think it's too risky to only carry 2.  The likelihood of both getting taken out in the same game is pretty slim, but it's a risk they take to add depth elsewhere.

I hear ya... just think it would be better for the game if the league just let the teams carry a third QB and not have to give up a roster spot.  There are plenty of times in a season teams lose two QB's.  Why not have a third on your roster, getting practice time, learning the system instead of having to grab someone off the street to start from scratch.  I guess by that time the teams season is blown, so who cares anyway.

What part of DA does not fir the system...the read-Option is a wrinkle to take advantage of Cam. With DA there would be more under center. Its a flexible system that would take advantage of both QBs.

I love how Webb played and he flashes that a lot in his career..however when depended on he has not been able to keep it up. DA has at least had a season where he was a pro Bowl QB.
