Training Camp Battle - QB #2

[TecmoSuperJoe]

I want to play video games so bad. Especially Madden, but it's just too much of an investment in time. Time I don't have. Sucks.

I'm interested in seeing him play with the ones! 

He'll probably get his chance. Hoyer has had problems staying healthy. Or Hoyer just might get benched if his performance begins to falter and/or the season is lost.

Me too, because if we're gonna make a run at Kirk Cousins I first want to have an idea of what Beathard looks like as a pro, he's already shown me more than I ever expected. 

The way Hoyer has played in camp (the games), Beat Hard might just have a chance to show what he's got before the season is over. Hoyer is looking like our best bet to draft top 5 again.

Personally, I think that we should give him a chance a time or two regardless of Hoyer's health or effectiveness. We all know we aren't going to contend this year. Once we are officially out, I don't see why we wouldn't just give him a shot to show what he has the last few games. Get him some reps, let him get used to the speed, etc.

I'm still hopeful this current staff will have as much common sense as us average fans have. Watching Chip and Kap "play to win", when we were a one-win team, instead of trying out young players vying for future jobs, just proved that the former staff was disconnected from the fans and from any notion of team building. So far, the preseason has given me hope that Kyle and John Lynch are going about it the right way. So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised to see Beat Hard see the field sooner rather than later. Maybe even get him in the game late if we're getting blown out, under the excuse that there is no point in risking injuring our starter. It goes for other positions as well. I'm sure we'll see a lot more rotation this year than we've seen in the last few years, even going back to Harbaugh.

If Hoyer goes down we're going to be bad no matter who is playing QB. So we might as well give that experience to Beathard who has a nice upside.  I think we've seen all that Barkley has to offer.
