Haha, I remember how much you liked him from draft time.  He didn't get much better in his years in Miami so not sure what to think.  The idea of a young backup QB is a good one...just not sure he's the one.

Thank you now everyone can shut up about "the great joe webby" sheesh..

TF? I would rather have Gilbert than this scrub. Every time I watched Miami play, he never impressed. He's not even better than Kaep.

If you don't possess a cannon, you gotta at least be accurate. 

I have seen him play. HIs arm is not that weak. He wasn't exactly playing on great teams either. We will see. It's just a guy from the waiver wires. Nobody should be expecting the next Cam Newton.

So let me get this straight, we cut two QB's that knew our system, one contributing heavily on special teams, who arguably played better than the current backup only to sign a guy no better than the guys we cut?   Sounds like a good plan to me.

These moves were typical in the Hurney era.

AND we kept the QB that sucked complete ass during the preseason, while those other two QBs vastly outplayed said QB. Not to mention we STILL have not cut one of our kickers. Hurney back in action people. It's fine, people gonna learn what a lot of us had to endure the first time around with Hurney.

Kaaya was projected as a 1st or 2nd round pick going in to last year. He didn't live up to expectation. He is good enough to take a look for a year and see how he develops. Webb isn't needed to help on special teams or WR anymore and if he ever had to come in at QB we would've been toast anyway. 45-53 of the roster will always churn and you're best served taking a shot at a guy like this who could develop than in a guy like Webb who has hit his ceiling.

Fun fact: He is the son of THEE Felicia from the Friday film.

Since the 53 cut, the Huddle has damn near imploded over perceived needs at safety, another CB, and a 3rd QB. Much to my surprise, Hurney quickly filled those needs, and the Seymour trade is actually impressive. Almost makes you want to think he's using the incredible personnel expertise here for guidance.

So we cut a guy who hit his ceiling vs a guy who fell into the basement?

Having gone to Miami, I watched a lot of him. He had all the tools but the light never seemed to go on for him. I like him of course and I just hope he gets better. The only reason this pick up moves the meter at all for me is because of the U.

[Shocker]

I like the Hurney moves so far.  Kaaya is worth a look IMO.  He has always had a nice throwing motion, I don't see a downside giving him a shot.

Like the Cox signing atp.  Interesting to see who goes now.

I just don't understand what people are expecting to find on the waiver wires. Do people really thing there is a better version of DA without a job right now? He was once a starter, for crying out loud.
