Can you just say your point? Because that sentence makes zero sense. 

I felt like I did already.

Joe Webb has 7 pass attempts in the last 7 years (all in one drive). This is with 4 different teams.  When he was with carolina before, he was not good enough to be Cam's back up.  Nothing has changed.  No NFL team views him as a QB2..or he would be one.  Not making peanuts as a special teams player.

Joe Webb's entire worth is quality special teams player that can go in at QB (but you really really hope you don't have to do that) if you are desperate.

NFL teams don't view him as a quality back up.  NFL teams don't view him as a QB2.

Neither should we.

So as to the statement that makes zero sense..I will once again point at Joe Webb's pass attempts. 

Seven pass attempts in seven years.

That means he is not seeing the field as a QB.  Because he is not good enough.

Why did we bring Boston back? He is as bad as I remember watching last nights game for the first time.

Dumb. Will be interesting to see if we pick up a veteran QB once cuts are made by other teams though

 

That is "IF" there is a decent QB that will get released/cut or put on the trading block and the team that QB comes from because we do need one that is average or above average and not below average.

Tre Boston is actually good enough to start.

Joe Webb isn't good enough to play back up.

Tre Boston actually played pretty well last year in his position.

Joe Webb didn't throw a single pass attempt last year.

I’m not even through the first quarter and I can’t even count how many times Boston has missed tackles/been out of position or just flat out turned away from the play.

Thats fine.  Just remember.  Joe Webb has 2 more pass completions more than Tre Boston does, over the last 7 years.

In yet he’s still around and locked up. Hmmmmmm.

Because of his special teams play with the added perk of being a QB3 if both your QB1 and 2 get taken out.......

Not because anyone views him as a QB2.

You touched on one critical thing that hadn't really occured to me. After looking like straight hot trash last week, the backup inside LBs did look considerably better this week. That's a plus.

It feels like preseason is being used to finalise roster more than anything else.  Ron is giving  various guys a shot, if someone plays a lot they are on the fence about them.

Gualden and butler cut.. wow.. that's some mighty fine detective work there..

Whoever read this to you should re-emphasize the fact that is was presented as hypothetical reading tea leaves--but some people with mamma issues create opportunities to be a dick to fill some Freudian void.

Personally, I think bringing in a veteran QB is a bad idea because you want to develop your youth, but at the time, they did not know Cam might be hurt.  When developing players, there is usually a timeline, especially for a third rounder.  When that timetable gets dramatically changed,  it could change what you do.
