The backup QB position so important as we're about to draft an undersized (and already damaged) QB in Zach Wilson. Compared to Hoyer? No friggin' doubt I'd take Minshew. Just for the chance that he recaptures the "magic" he had in 2019: 21 TDs/6 INTs in 14 games. Even as bad as he played last season, Minshew had 16 TDs/5 INTs in 9 games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn’t even be mediocre on a stacked colts team with a great offensive line. When Zach Wilson gets hurt and this clown is playing enjoy hoyer started 1 game in 2019 with the colts, who went 7-9 that year. he is what he is - an experienced backup QB. nothing prevents morgan (and white) from competing for the backup position. but he's an experienced guy to put in the QB room, to help ALL the young QBs (career regular season pass attempts by QBs currently on the roster, with the assumed addition of the #2 pick = 0.00). can anyone tell me the last time an nfl team went into the season with their collective QB room having the same amount of regular season snaps as bluto blutarsky's GPA?

If he just quits his uncle will give him that 200M deal he would have gotten as a top QB. If ZWs uncle is rich ZW isnt driven to succeed? Hes a gym rat always studying film etc why? None of this makes sense. @Pac i believe you guys are talking about how rich zach is because his family is? found this.. Wilson frequently made 10-hour drives from BYU’s campus to southern California to train with his quarterback coach, John Beck, before his standout junior season. Once the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Wilson remained in California and took on a new job in order to pay for gas and other expenses. While in California, Wilson worked as a DoorDash driver, according to NBC Sports’ Peter King. The long weekend nights delivering food paid dividends when it came to Wilson’s ability to account for his expenses and allowed him to continue his work with Beck, which proved instrumental to his development throughout 2020. that doesnt sound like someone whos uncle gave him millions of dollars. hell he could even give the kid some money for gas? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was brought up earlier. Wilsons uncle is the head/owner of JetBlue. That doesnt make Zach Wilson rich. Doesnt mean that he doesn't need to work at being a star QB, that his uncle will just end over the $200+ M he could make as a star NFL QB. To believe this is the case is beyond ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What excludes Morgan or disqualifies him from potentially being a "really good backup"? Again, only thing I see is "Hoyer started some games a long time ago and lost most of them" as the apparent qualifier. Guess it's better to have started and lost than never to have starter at all......if you want a shot at being an NFL backup QB. Hes a vet and teams want a vet QB around a rookie to show him the ropes, teach him how to prepare etc, etc Being a winning QB doesnt necessarily make a vet QB a good mentor.

I’d argue a #2 overall pick shouldn’t need a loser like Hoyer to show him the ropes, especially if we have decent coaches. Id also argue having a loser just happy to be the #2 and cash a check is poor motivation/competition to drive that #2 pick to be his best.

Jolot Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 10 hours ago, SAR I said: The QB doesn't matter. In 2020 Joe Douglas had 26 JAG's on 1-year contracts and it looks like his 2021 strategy is to use FA and the draft to replace 6 of them and have 20 JAG's on 1-year contracts. It's a wonderful strategy if you want a 10 year rebuild and completely trust the guy picking the players.

You apparently are confusing the position being filled. It's not coach, can't be a coach plus he already has a QB coach. NFL coaches have a different relationship than a teammate/mentor. Bringing in a mentor has been a common practice forever in the NFL for this reason. JMO if you expected the above you really don't have an idea about how the NFL does business with QBs. If you're this confused about a simple hire that most of JN predicted as soon as Darnold was traded. Once again, why is it bothersome to hire a mentor added to the QBs support group?

I completely agree. In my view, all three QB spots on a roster should be filled with the best possible Quarterbacks. Not mentors. Not Coaches. Not guys to pat rookies on the back and tell them they're special. Not woobies for Head Coaches to play because they don't like playing younger QB's. If a Veteran is that guy, because he's younger, and talented, with upside, etc., and the potential to win games if called upon, fine, no objection. But all of 3 of them should be chosen because they can play or have the potential to play the #1 QB spot. Not for any other touchy-feely mentor coach-in-pads reason. In my view, rookie QB's are best served by GREAT Coaches, and aggressive competitors chasing at their heels. Fear and competition are amazing motivators.
