should have just manned up and gotten jeff Garcia or Byron Leftwhich
Leftwich is turrible. Not sure about Garcia though...but he seems a bit old.
I actually think Walter could be a decent backup for this team. He has a very good arm, and supposedly is picking up on the system quickly. He also has some starting experience.
I love Jeff Garcia, I think he's the most underrated QB of the past twenty years, but I don't think he would have come here. He wants to start; he signed in Oakland to be JaMarcus Russell' backup, but let's be realistic... he's backing up JaMarcus Russell. He'll be starting by week 6, JaMarcus is HORRIBLE and doesn't even try to get better. I don't think Garcia was likely to sign here when he had a 0% chance of getting any playing time short of a Brady injury.
Has Edelman been getting ANY reps at QB, though? Obviously he hasn't been behind center in any preseason games, and Belichick does prevent the media from reporting on a lot of "unusual" stuff they practice, but you'd think there would at least be SOME mention of him getting some snaps under center at some point. I can't recall him ever being discussed with the other QBs, although it's hard to imagine BB not at least thinking about this.
I am sure he is not getting many fewer reps at QB than Troy Brown did when he was the emergency QB.
I just think BB really likes going with only 2 QB's, since he probably feels that any 3rd QB is terrible anyways, so might as well have someone filling that role who can help the team in other ways.
I guess this means we can expect a big dose of A. Walter in the final preseason game.
Yup. Unless they pick someone else up, he probably plays at least the entire first half, and maybe 3 quarters, with Hoyer finishing off the game.
BTW, this cut might also mean BB sees something in Hoyer. Maybe he feels comfortable enough with Hoyer having to be activated in case of an emergency, knowing that they can likely hide him on the practice squad until its necessary.
