Backup QB?

[Chawker]

I'm tell ya, this kid is a hard core competitor. His college record was like 52-4. If he was challenged by his mother to a boxing match, he'd drop her in the first 30 seconds, out of respect and his competitive nature.

All the bs aside I think he would be a good fit for the type of offense we run here in Seattle.

My god! Somebody help bill with getting the cork back in the bottle, before he signs somebody good. :irishdrinkers:

Well if true, that's what everyone figured then-just roster maneuvering. Geno will be a solid backup and looked very good the last 2 preseason games. No qualms at all.

Am I the only one who thinks we should take a shot at McGough as our backup? The only reason why he left Seattle is because he wanted a shot at being on the active roster of the Jags, and now he's on the TEXAN's practice squad. Couldn't we pluck him as our backup?

Edit: I just think McGough has a higher ceiling and I'm not sure we keep Geno next year, so why not get McGough in now, get him back into our system as our backup QB for multiple years...?

To put him on the roster, we would have to cut someone else.

I'm speaking post-Clowney trade, when we have a spot open as is intended to do so with Geno.

I don’t understand the logic of signing a backup based on the hope he’ll be good. Say what you want about Geno, if Russ somehow missed a drive, or a quarter, or even a game. I would still feel we could win with the right game plan. McGough? Not so much. Not sure why you’d want to take that risk based on a dream

Nothing wrong with this I guess. But I think Alex is more about money than football. Worry about football first and prove yourself, then the money will come. Don't get ahead of yourself.

I don't think anybody is surprised. Schneider knows how to manipulate a roster. :twisted:

A little of that for sure, a lot about knowing the other 31 teams and their tendencies and what to expect from them, he is a great Chess player, doesn't win every time but has a pretty good win loss record doing this.

Geno officially re-signed with the Seahawks today.

Smith’s free agency was short-lived because on Sunday the Seahawks re-signed Smith, who emerged as the victor in the backup quarterback competition with Paxton Lynch.
