Don't we need a 3rd qb for preseason? What if Archer gets injured then who goes in?

Right now the assumption is that Daniels is the emergency qb, but I'm sure Pete and John or making some sort of decision on the matter, even if it means just bringing in a camp body.

His experience as a QB is probably the strongest reason for Daniels to surprise fans and make the roster. If he can contribute in a small way at WR and on special teams while also being an emergency QB option then he could spend the season on the inactive list as insurance against Russ or TJack having a minor injury.

Watching practice and they were showing the qb's taking snaps and right now it's only Wilson and Archer, so they obviously haven't made any unannounced signings so far

Tarvaris will only probably miss the first 4 regular season games or so. Archer will be fine backing up Russ for a month.

I thought T Jack was only supposed to be out for 2 weeks. :?

That is what Pete said, but his history with injuries is usually pretty optimistic, and he said it admittedly not having all the details.

As long as he's back in time for game 1, I don't think it's really an issue, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a camp body signed if for not other reason than for extra reps for the receivers.

Matt Flynn is available...

Flynn isn't going to come to a place where he's a band aid until T-Jack gets healthy. If he signs with a team, it's for an opportunity to be THE backup for an entire season.

I hope they bring in a camp arm. With our WR corps in a bit of flux (potentially) it will take some reps to sort out. I should think they'd be worried about tired arms for Wilson and Archer.

I don't know why people joke about Flynn. He beat out Tjack in training camp the one year they went toe to toe. They'd never bring him back because he didn't buy in. Tjack does. It's not about talent.

Daniels is taking some QB snaps according to beat writers on twitter.

Kind of a bad thing, since he needs work at his other jobs. :229031_shrug:

They must have been doing that off to the side or at the very least, not on camera. There was a qb drill on camera today (Seahawks.com) and it was only Wilson and Archer participating.

Flynn can't throw more than 10 passes a day or his arm falls off. Let's get Vick!

I wasn't being serious, though getting a guy who is familiar with your playbook and can at least manage an offense probably wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. This is relative to the bottom of the barrel that we'd be faced with for QB prospects.

Would be glad to see BJ get those reps though.

I say give Archer a chance at back up. He didn't play too bad during the first preseason game and supposedly at training camp he's been fairly decent.

Has one player ever made as long a career off of one game as Flynn has off of that one game as a Packer where he lit up the Lions like a Christmas tree?
