So we just signed Fernando Velasco

Makes sense with all the practice squad Centers we've been throwing at the wall.

Don't want him starting, or really playing for that matter but he knows the offense and is capable of stepping in in case of injury. Who'd we drop in order to sign him?

Nothing posted about who's dropped yet.

So decent we had him, cut him, watched him try to get a job over Bell in Tennessee, fail, get cut then signed him back!

Super mah fuggin Bowl Bitches!

This has NOTHING to do with wanting Velasco back on the roster, but everything to do with being DESPERATELY thin at Oline with JJWatt & crew coming to town.

In case people didn't realize it, we only had 7 healthy linemen this a.m. before this move.

Our starting 5 (Remmers, Turner, Kalil, Norwell, Oher)

and 2 backups:  Amini Silatolu and Chris Scott.

2 guys to backup 5 in a week when you've got one of the best Dlines coming to town.

Wasn't gonna happen, and the only OLine on our PS are Foucault (UGH!) and the brand new Center signed yesterday.  So, it was pretty obvious when Chandler didn't practice yesterday that unless that changed today, we were gonna have to find someone we could plug and play.

I think we're pretty fortunate Tennessee cut Velasco and that he was available.

Thankfully they cut him and not Bell!!!  My word, can you imagine the Huddle meltdown if we had resigned Bell.  LOLOLOLOL!

    • Dude you're all over the place. Bryce definitely played better than average down the stretch last year. That's what I said. I dont think it's controversial, and I think it's true based both on stats and by actually watching him play. He was the 6th rated passer by PFF during the last 8 weeks. In no world is that below average You trying to twist this into something else is a you thing.  Have a great night  
    • Exactly He's played two seasons and started 28 games. He's well beyond the point of being able to point to 2 or 3 games and being able to say, "THAT is the QB he is and will be in the future" Of course he can get there, but anyone trying to use just those couple of games to rank his place amongst the games QB's today and their full career's worth of playing at that level, is just asinine. Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Hurts, Herbert, Daniels, Stafford, Goff, Geno, Purdy, Baker, Love, Dak, Tua, Kyler, Lawrence That's 17 QB's right there that have played better over their careers than Bryce has played at his best.  And I'm not saying they're all studs or guys I'd want to be our QB moving forward, Tua for example I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, but his body of work is a million times better than Bryce's has been. It's also not including any of the other QB's drafted in 2023/2024 other than Daniels. So again, say you believe in Bryce, say you think he's going to prove he can and should be our QB of the future, that's all fair and totally fine. But nobody can say he's been an above average QB in his career thus far, it's just an asinine notion.
