It's finally hitting me that Garrett Gilbert being the backup QB wasn't just talk, it's probably happening

If he has to play in place of Cam it will not end well.  He's just a camp arm being used as a backup because they have no other options.  

If Norv felt we needed a new backup, Hurney would be making things happen.  Nobody expected Garapolo to step up when Brady was suspended, or even Brady to become HOF.   Gilbert has shown potential...under Norv I expect improvement.  Norv will know if he can cut it.

Jets looking to trade yall boy Bridgewater haha. I'd only give up a conditional 7th at this point 

[cardiackat88.]

Why are you getting all hung up on imaginary problems?

[bobsfoodbasics]

If I am the panthers, I trade for Bridgewater.

[Bronn]

The kid is talented. I mean, he is mobile and he makes good throws.

I just found out Gilbert actually has a Super Bowl ring that he earned as a part of the Patriots' PS in XLIX season.

Let's get him another one!

I'm not saying Kyle Allen will win the gig but if Rivera gives him a chance he may surprise some people.

We're talking about the top rated QB in the 2014 class, rated higher than Watson, Mahomes, Kizer, and Rudolph; all first round picks.

He's really only had one game in his career where he just got tore up and that was against Bama.

Every where he's gone he's been on a short leash, he may be playing well but if the team wasn't he got benched

It'll be interested to see how he does in TC and during preseason.

[Fright]

I feel like it’s deja vu... showed mega potential when he was recruited to UT.. got handed the starting job and sucked balls.. 

 

Yea it was a long time ago.. but well.. Here’s hoping Cam never gets hurt.

I'm hoping he sticks to the PS. Prototypical size and live arm. When he's on he's deadly.

 

Betting staff and Co see him only a camp arm, so he goes to Canada for a few years.

. Hopefully he can become an asset for us but those guys proved themselves to be more than top recruits.

Google is your friend instead of a rapid 2 second smartass response.

A guy that we lost in the trade up to get useless Daeshon Hall.  A guy that Steve Smith said on air was the most impressive QB at the 2017 combine.  A guy that BEAT the Panthers last preseason at BOA.

You must be a UT fan

I liked what I saw from Gilbert. His mechanics remind me somewhat of Favre and Delhomme, but he also had some patience and good accuracy. I say roll with him.

Totally agree, this silly thread is silly because it's at least three weeks premature, and to this point in the thread no one has mentioned Heincke who reportedly throws real good/accurate.  Even if Moore has anything left would that really be better than these two semi-young guys?  

[pantherclaw]

Gilbert will rise to fill the most popular position on the team. 

THE backup QB.

In a different America we’d do the right thing and sign CK7
