Surely Gutes knows that any other marginal or washed-up old player will save the sky from falling on the Packers season. I mean it's only a topic being widely discussed by the Packers media, beat writers, X bloggers...and fans. But yea, it's insane to talk about it...on a fan forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore feature is very nice in this situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would definitely have to trade for one of them. We're too far down on the waiver claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas492 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 LOL! Fun reading about the backup QB. I'm good either way, but if Zach Wilson were to be cut? I'd give that some thought. Both ways. Like, I feel like he has arm talent, he is athletic. Then I go back to the JETS. All he had to do is not lose games with that defense. And he looked pretty bad. A good game here and there, but for the most part, he looked bad. Maybe we have that kind of defense here now, probably though we do not. So I'm just really not sure what to make of Wilson besides the fact that he passes my "eyeball test" when it comes to the arm and athletic ability. Then I think about it...Pratt has a stronger arm (I think). Clifford has been in the system for a year. Each can move in the pocket. Then I get stuck and feel like it is Pratt or Clifford over Wilson. Long way for me to say this...if we can't get Tannehill in here on a cheap deal, then I feel like it is Clifford and Pratt goes to PS.

Clifford won't get claimed we can put him on the PS if we so chose. At least Pratt has some upside. If Wilson get released and we can get him for 2-3 mil/yr maybe I'd consider it. Reclamation projects rarely work out though. So at the end of the day it should be Pratt. Cliffy regressed this year. Not good. Honestly I'd probably just cut bait.

He also had Hackett as his OC, who did him no favors. I think Clemons could turn him into something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked at it as a player who is probably an easy player to get to the PS but would be called up to the 53 and signed the first time a player was lost to injury. He was a coin toss with Anderson for me anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Stidham for 7 million this year, but only 2 guaranteed. I think that becomes the tie breaker in Denver and they keep Wilson. They have eaten so much cap $ this year because of the Russ Wilson debacle. So, upon further review, I'm not claiming Stidham and paying him close to 5 million. If I can get him to sign at the vet minimum, I'm in. Edited August 26 by Old Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There more than likely will be teams that carry 3 QBs and Denver and Atlanta are probably 2 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen many people have him in their final 53. It's also fair that there isn't many posts after his great performance against the Ravens.

I think Clemons could turn him into something. Yup. But, Clemons is working with Clifford and Pratt right now, so that point is a wash. And again, with the Jets, all he had to do is not lose games. And he couldn't do that. He kept making the same mistakes over and over again. To me, he is not trustable right now, after what I saw in New York. So I feel like, though I like the skills, I'll stick with one of our guys. I give the nod to Clifford just because he's been in the offense for a year. No reason to think that Pratt gets picked up if we cut him, so he goes to the PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Gute drafted him as the last "draftable" QB. A lot of us were surprised he was draftable. He hasn't shown much. Pratt has some potential but needs a year to develop on the PS.
