There's also Driscoll who can step in and keep Mailata in place, which would make Dillard extra worthless on the team.

Fine, but who’s your left tackle if Mailata is the starter who gets injured? I like Driscoll, but I know I’d prefer Dillard at that spot if the need were to arise.

If anyone did not support the Strong signing as a UDFA then they are a moron. Its just good overall to give a chance to as many QBs your can, esp for cheap. 

100%. No risk. All upside. Had to do it.

The message board has decided to waive Strong already huh? Not even a preseason game?

I thought TC is where players went to get better and improve? Iron and all.  The book is written on him but not Hurts?  Hmm 

The difference is that, when he came into camp two years ago, Hurts immediately showed off how dangerous he was with his legs. We all knew he had to get better as a passer, but that his athletic ability would buy him time to do that. 

Strong came is as a guy who was allegedly a polished passer (according to the tate qb experts) who would be better at throwing the football on day 1 than Hurts, lasering balls all over the field with his cannon of an arm. 

The fact that he has flopped doesn't mean that he still can't get better over time, but it does explain why he wasn't drafted and that everyone who spent all summer getting excited about him were clearly grasping at straws, the same way the "Why isn't Minshew starting" crowd is right now.

I'd agree about holding tight on Dillard if this was a SB year. If it was a SB year, depth is more important. But I don't think anyone here is thinking SB. This team won't reach that level until they get a capable QB and if I had to choose between getting a 3rd for Dillard now(or at the deadline) or letting him walk in free agency and maybe get a compensatory pick(depending on who they sign) I'm taking the 3rd rounder.

I must be the lone wolf these days, as I’m thinking SB. Not that I’m expecting them to win it, but I’m expecting them to be one of the eight or ten teams in contention.

I dont think some of these guys like having good QBs on the roster anymore.

Sinnett is an easy stash on the PS.  He's already on his 3rd NFL team since going undrafted in 2020.  Strong, not so much -- although it's highly unlikely any team would offer him an active roster spot.

Im a Dillard guy as well as a nice solid LT backup. However "IF" they get a decent deal then its worth moving on since we are not going to pay him. Would have to be a 4th rounder for me to even consider it which I don;t think Howie would get anyways. Honestly, Im sure Howie is telling teams he wants a 2nd or 3rd rounder value.

I am suspending myself from the message board until Strong does something good.

I'd prefer Dillard as well, unless there is a trade that has a nice payoff. I will take the trade and roll with Driscoll vs one year of a guy whose a backup LT only.

Hurts has looked average at best running with elite talent like AJB, Smith, Goedert, 1st team o-line. Strong has been working with the D squad.

yep. since Hurts will probably have a belly ache during pre-season games and be unavailable, Id love to see Strong with these weapons. I think he will be a gamer.

It doesn't matter who you're running with when you can't complete passes against air.

TBF to Strong, he might need more surgery.

And o ya, someone has superior talent 

 

 

 

You've taken the honor as by far the least knowledgeable person that posts here. You're like a ship lost adrift at sea when it comes you trying to comprehend and evaluate the game and players.

You're seriously unhinged man. You don't understand the difference between criminal and civil law, you don't understand much about the Watson case (tho you think you're an expert, clearly). Relax a little, those women aren't gonna come for you because you're defending them. Watson is a scummy dude, but he's not a criminal. That's a fact. 

I mean Watson isn't a criminal like OJ isn't a murderer.  If you believe the women he at least committed indecent exposure.  There's probably not a great case for assault under Texas law.  I don't think the prosecutor really pushed for any kind of indictment in the grand jury.  I believe Watson committed a crime but he wasn't chaged.  Is he a criminal? I think it depends on what you mean.

I wonder if he’s as bad as Clayton Thorson. He was so terrible he didn’t even make it to the PS. He signed with the Dallas PS instead.

To me, Thorson is the benchmark for crappy preseason quarterback play. Though come to think of it, that Penn State guy the Jets took in the second round that one year kinda came close. Tim Tebow would come into consideration too, but he actually had one preseason game where he didn’t look inept.

For the record, I expect Strong to be better than those guys.

I think it’ll be psychological for him. Similar with Agholor. NA was supposed to come in and be Jeremy Maclin. Obviously that wasn’t going to happen. By his 3rd year he was not expected to be the #1 WR, primarily used in the slot, not expected to be a force down the field, had a better head for the game, etc. 

Reagor was overdrafted just like NA. It was unfair to expect him to come in and be a #1 WR in the making. Let him work in the slot, give him some RAC opportunities, and his opportunities to stretch the field in 1on1 situations will be there. 

Him and Quez competing for the #3 WR role is a very good problem to have. 
 

I wonder if they’re working with a sports psychologist on him.

Thorson might actually be the worst pick of the Howie era. Just unplayable and unwatchable. 

Speaking of bad bottom of the roster QB's, just how bad was Jamie Newman that he didn't even make it out of rookie camp and fell off the face of the earth since? 

Also surprised Trevon Grimes never got a look anywhere. He must have really done something to his knee.

Jalen Reagor will never admit he has a problem that needs support from a sports psychologist

Eagles are one of those teams that always go 3 QBs but dress 2 during games. Don't see them taking the chance at another team snagging him off the PS either. 

The Eagles only went with two quarterbacks last year out of training camp. It wasn’t until around October that they claimed Sinnett on waivers when the Dolphins tried to sneak him through to their practice squad.

EDIT: It looks like I’m wrong about this.

Kempski and Brandon Lee Gowton thought he didn't look like he was making the roster after the Sunday practice.  I hope he sees enough pre-season game time that he shows improvement.

I mean under the very legal definition of criminal, OJ was not considered as such for the murder of Brown/Goldman. He IS a criminal for the Vegas armed robbery. 

Look at how many in here were waiting to pounce on Strong as soon as he slipped up, lol. Throwing to JJAW will make a lot of QBs look a lot worse than they are. 

I'd still start Strong over Hurts week 1.
