I seriously doubt 2 of the 3 between QBs between Walker, Grier and Stevens are on the roster come September.  I'm more partial to Walker, personally. Chalk Grier up as a loss and move on.  It's on Marty Hurney that we are likely to flush a former 3rd round pick, but it's pointless to keep him based on draft position if the team thinks he doesn't have what it takes.

Why I can't say I have confidence in Grier, he's going into his 3rd year and he may be a lot better then last time we saw him.

His parents must be crushed by this news.  One more year at university and Kevin Thomson could have completed his doctorate degree in Footballology.

Bottom line:  Stay in school kids.

Sounds like the starting QB for the Uni team I played for here in the UK.

He was dogshit, but he was going for a Doctorate and was on the team committee, so obviously he started every game.

Would grad school students be  eligible to play for college teams?

Apparently there is a waiver for such players. Still not sure what this gentleman’s major is but grad student are apparently eligible to compete in Div 1 beyond the 4 year mark.

They should be. I kind of like Ramsey as a backup. Smart QB just has limited ability. I think he is capable of stepping in a game or two and playing safe football to steal a win/not lose the game.

Actually, yeah, I think he takes a roster spot here. Smart guy who has the skills to go in for an emergency run. He'd be a good observer on the sidelines as well and wouldn't be a threat to Darnold right now. 

If things went crazy, who knows, he might have a bit of that Jake spark in him.

He could put his skills to use here working out 14 years of practice squad eligibility.

If I remember correctly, teams are only allowed something like five tryout players this year.

If two of our five are going to be quarterbacks, our current backups might have reason to be a little nervous.

If you find yourself sitting in the Carolina Panthers QB room, you SHOULD be nervous.

I’m not sure another team has a QB room that from top to bottom could be shuffled at random and be close to the actual opening day roster?

Disagree. Darnold is the clear starter and head and shoulders above anyone else.

Beyond Darnold though, pretty much everyone else is easily replaceable.

I’ll concede that Sam is the starter day 1.  (And) I think he’s going to have success. However, if he doesn’t...  That’s gonna make more than Sam a little nervous.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
