Roster Moves; QB Plummer signed to active roster

[ProcessBlue2]

Per Joe Person

• Hubbard; Smith-Wade added to IR
• Mike Boone signed to active roster
• Jack Plummer signed to active roster
• Deshawn Williams elevated to active roster

Not sure why Plummer is getting signed unless they are taking a look at him. Bryce was on injury report this week but was FP on Friday.

Plummer going to be the #2?  I imagine he will get some time if the game slips away--one side or the other.   Might mean Dalton has taken his last snap in a Panther uniform.

Way I see it Plummer has to be the #2 otherwise he would just be elevated not signed.

They could shut Bryce down, although I doubt it. Canales always preaches how important reps are but then again you risk him getting hurt or having a bad confidence game. Who knows maybe his hamstring "flares up" and they use that to shut him down. 

Interesting either way.

I think they are already thinking about the QB position and Plummer's last preseason game was strong, following a terrible one.  I imagine he plays, unless the game is on the line.

I've seen worse.

No need for Dalton to be active for the rest of the season. The season is over. If Bryce goes down or the game gets out of hand play Plummer, there's nothing to lose. Who knows, maybe we blow out the Bucs and they let him take the victory knee.

I think Dalton is going to retire. He lost a lot of zip on the ball from Vegas to Washington. He looked exhausted after those 5 games.

Wouldn't hang my hat on that performance. That game featured "the drive" by Bryce Young that had us riding a high into the regular season that quickly turned into a nightmare.

If Plummer gets playing time it's likely to get ugly.

I didn't see that at all. I am not saying this to disaparage Bryce but Dalton has more zip on most of his passes than Bryce. But he also generally has a stronger arm.

Honestly the Plummer move definitely smells like prepping to tank.

I think you mean, is already ugly.

Even after the 5 games he still had more zip than Bryce. Maybe it was just me but I didn't see the game arm strength he had after the Vegas and Cinci games.

This is stupid

I think that was more to do with the results than the play. Go back and watch those games. He really didn't show any sign of physical decline, IMO.

Not saying it isn't possibly coming but I don't think that is something I would be that worried about. I would like to see him stick around, actually. I think he is good for Bryce and is definitely one of the most capable #2 QB's in the NFL.
