"Possible" cuts-QB Brad Kaaya, Stephone Anthony (Saints Jimmy Graham trade)

[Nails]

Kaaya is supposedly struggling but maybe putting him with U alum Dorsey could be intriguing as a project.

Anthony even in the realm of cut possibility is ROTFLOL funny.

Early, but noteworthy.

Not sure they would cut Anthony.

I wouldn't be surprised if we cut Anderson this year and bring in a young athletic QB with some upside. Anderson has nothing left. Not sure they would do it though with Cam possibly not being 100% yet. Not sure I would want Kayaa though. Bwood would want him starting over Cam

Matt Waldman's take on Kaaya:

https://mattwaldmanrsp.com/2017/01/16/rsp-film-room-no-90-qb-brad-kaaya-extended-look/

The junior from Miami has the skills to earn a nice second contract in the NFL.

Technically and athletically, Brad Kaaya is the polar opposite of Patrick Mahomes. While both players have starter potential, Kaaya is the textbook option.

Kaaya’s footwork is consistent, he has experience under center, and he throws the ball away when pressure looms. Where Mahomes can scramble, Kaaya does a great imitation of young Peyton Manning escaping a pocket.

Kaaya has a good enough arm to become a productive NFL starter. But because the isn’t a hose hanging off his right shoulder, Miami wasn’t a top program during Kaaya’s tenure, and the junior isn’t a flashy athlete, don’t look for him to earn a spot in the first round.

Don’t be surprised if he drops to the third or fourth round. The NFL takes those resume bullet points seriously when it comes to risk assessment and if Kirk Cousins was a mid-round pick after all the fawning over his golden boy persona, Kaaya could see a similar fate.

Like Cousins, Kaaya has the fundamentals to develop into a long-term NFL starter. In this extended look at Kaaya against Pitt, I cover positives about his footwork, play action game, reading the field, pass placement, and “fat balls”.

There’s also a good segment about perceiving pressure and learning to tell if it’s a problem for a passer.

He shouldn't of been picked, he was trash when I watched him.

Kaaya just isn't that good. Pretty athletic, live arm, just not a very good QB. I always thought he was basically a poor man's Kaepernick.

Every time I watched him I came away unimpressed.  Just thought he was meh as a College QB.  Never understood the hype.

....Kaaya is as mobile as Tom Brady in the context of the NFL.

I won't argue with that sentiment.
