Cuts and Signings Around The NFL

If Nick Foles is third string for the Bears he would be that for us no way. That guy was a one year fluke! And he has made a fortune off of it.

 

I think our backup QB situation is fine. If Woodside can beat out Kizer he deserves the spot.

 

That is a bit of an over exaggeration. Nick Foles has never been any more than a capable backup QB. No one has ever acted like a he was anything other then the 25th - 40th best QB available in any given year and he has been paid like that.

In Chicago he has Andy Dalton and Justin Fields in front of him. Dalton is the same journeyman/back up caliber guy Foles is and Fields was just drafted. On the Titans he instantly becomes the best QB on the roster not named Ryan Tannehill.

 

I dont think that it will be the difference between success or failure but having a competent backup could be the difference between the 1st and 3rd seed come end of season.

Which ain’t sayin’ much.

 

Random but too good not to share

 

I know it doesn't mean much, but everything I've seen so far say Kizer is looking good this off-season. I think I wouldn't mind him developing into a solid backup, he's only 25, big, strong arm, and has starting experience, albeit 0-15 as a starter, I still like his upside over Woodside.

 

Upside or Woodside? Who will get the call?

 

I think that record is somewhat misleading too. Wasn’t he part of the 0-16 Browns? It takes more than a QB to go 0-16. Not saying he’s a surprise superstar but I don’t think record is a good measuring point.

 

Yea he started as a rookie with little support and bad coaching. Still, he needs to show something at some point in camp and pre-season and not look totally lost if he has to play in a real game. IMO it is an uphill fight to beat out Woodside. He was a good guy to bring in to compete rather than a rookie UDFA.
