Ranking all 32 backup quarterbacks.

pmedic920 · Aug 13, 2014

Yes another list to make us talk.
One of the things that stands out to me, is the placing of Matt H.
I feel that a couple of these backups are better than a couple of the starters.
Anyway what y'all think?

Sanchez in the top 5. List is invalid.

Yea I didn't care for the list either. Doubt much real thought or analysis went into it.

Sanchez, Cousins and Hill are too high (and should be behind T-Jack), ESPECIALLY Sanchez. The only reason Cousins is getting play is because there are so many RGIII detractors, but he looked putrid last year when he took over the reigns.

THATS TOTAL BS!!! GABBERT IS NOT THE 32nd RATED BACKUP IN THE....

uh...oh...his rating was what on thurs?

oh.

nevermind.

List looks fine to me. Hopefully none of them play or more then a few teams are toast. Like San Francisco. :twisted:

Which would be reason enough to keep Pryor in my opinion.

A list like this would look a lot smarter two months from now. Matt Cassel won't be keeping Bridgewater on the bench in the real games, neither will Henne for Bortles. It's also bizarre that those guys are listed as backups while Manziel is not.

Vick is the best backup in the NFL, but he shouldn't be a backup. I think I'd have Tjack at #2, though Cassel did look good in Minnesota's offense late last season and will benefit from Norv Turner's presence. I like Chad Henne as a backup.

Kirk Cousins has been hit and miss, he's almost like the new Matt Flynn. Need more data. I loved Ryan Mallett in college, but I wouldn't know where to rank him until he either puts together multiple stellar preseasons or gets to start a chunk of a season.

Putting Mark Sanchez at #5 is hilariously stupid. Sanchez has had one good season in the NFL and college combined.

Tarvaris rated higher than Hass? I wonder if that guy has ever watched either of them play.

I fixed it for you.

Sanchez's ONE good season is ONE more good season than Tarvaris has ever had.

This little anti-Tarvaris crusade of yours is getting a bit old.

MizzouHawkGal · Aug 14, 2014

Honestly I am kind of split on this because I have never been enamoured of Jackson but I don't think Pryor is quite ready even though it's obvious he has a world of talent. I don't know if they will actually keep 3 quarterbacks though and I'm afraid we will cut him and San Francisco will snap him up in a heartbeat.

Not to worry. If we ever had to play against him, our "D" would destroy him.

There are a lot of stupid people out there that still need convincing.

I think you've overstated Pryor. I just don't see what people see in this guy. If flushed he always goes to his right and all the teams know that. Tries to force balls into multiple coverage and never looks at the entire field, looks in one place maybe two and is then gone for his standard run right to the sidelines and doesn't understand why the defenders are always there waiting.

Pryor led a major college program to a 31-4 record and won bowl games. He had a 65% completion rate 27tds and 11 ints vs good competition in his final season in college. You can find many highlights of him for that season.

That's what people see in him.

I'm not really enamored with the guy, but I believe it's time to move on from Tarvaris. Plus, the description you give of Pryor also describes Tarvaris, except Tarvaris doesn't run.

Geez didn't David Green have all sorts of passing records also? Who is he starting for these days?

Bingo.

I like Tjack as an Alex-Smith-product-of-the-system-type guy. He has some imperfections, but our offense seemed to mask those issues when he took the field in 2013.

I guess you're right...our offense did mask his imperfections by not allowing him to play more than 39 total snaps when the games were basically over already.
