Good way for that to happen. Danny Amendola was hired as an assistant as well. Very Davis Webb / Josh McCown esqe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I don’t expect him to be on the roster come September. 1 hour ago, BayRaider said: Oh god. He’s 4th string level awful.. He’s beyond washed.

jimkelly02 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 If your paying him a few hundred thousand to come into camp and teach the offense and act as a mentor I understand that… I mean I don’t think it’s anything a coach couldn’t do… exactly what does Mick Lombardi and Bo Hardegree and now Scott Turner do for us?… but if we seriously think Hoyer is going to be able to enter a game any keep us in the game… or worse hold down a stretch of games if/when Jimmy G gets hurt… then we have serious problems. so while im not mad we signed hoyer, I’m just left asking what is the point?

Drew Bledsoe, Jake Plummer, Jay Cutler, Dante Culpepper, Tony Romo, Big Ben, Rivers and Newton. They would rather retire than hold a clipboard It’s true… a backup QB has to have a unique skillset. They have to be capable of coming in and playing, but also to assist the QB and coaches. I can see teams not wanting a guy like Newtown as a backup because he’s going to want to compete for the starting job when there’s isn’t a competition to be had. You gotta be ready to play if called but also willing to chill out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A backup QB is literally a different position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkelly02 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 As much as I wanted Jones over Jimmy G, at this point I don’t see any point to trading for Mac Jones. We can’t pay Jimmy G to sit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t pay Jimmy G to sit. I’d rather have Jimmy G than Jones. Jimmy seems more likable and a player friendly leader who has a track record of winning long term. Jones seems like a dbag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s an insurance pick up. We likely get a latter round QB but they are probably unlikely to able to play if Jimmy G was to go down early in the season. Hoyer gives cover until the rookie is ready to play in that scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
