I think Trevor feels more comfortable with CJ holding the clipboard. Don’t think their ever was a competition for the #2. The question has become does the team carry three QB’s and if so who gets cut to make room??

Never said he wouldn’t. I said IF they only keep two that Rourke should be the backup.

CJ referred to Trevor as his "best friend", they're close. Doug has said multiple times he wants to keep as much consistency around Trevor as possible. Getting rid of CJ would go completely against that.
Put Rourke on the PS. Don't waste the roster spot keeping 3 QBs on the 53. If a team snatches him up in waivers, or off the PS, so be it. Wont be a big loss. Y'all putting way too much stock in somebody who played a preseason game against guys who will be selling used cars soon.

No way he stays on the practice squad. They try that and he's gone.
LOL. And Beathard has been playing against scrubs too and doesn't look near as good.

So then he'd be gone, not a big loss.
It doesn't matter who the back up QB is at the end of the day. If Trevor goes down we're screwed, so who cares. Keep whoever he's most comfortable with and that's CJ.

Why would he feel more comfortable? Does a starting QB really care much who the backup is?
Honest questions. I’m not trying to be provocative.

Frankly I find it odd that people think a third year quarterback needs somebody as a security blanket especially when he’s supposed to be the team leader.

So ‘keep who he’s comfortable with’ rather than the better player. Makes perfect sense.

You have a preference for more athletic players. Fair enough but “more athletic” doesn’t necessarily mean better. Go listen to what Pederson has to say about Beathard. Rourke is an interesting project but there was a reason the dude was playing in the CFL.

We don't even know if Rourke is the better player lol. 3 quarters of preseason football isn't enough of a sample size.

Kurt Warner came from AFL because no NFL team would give him a chance. I'm not saying Rourke is Kurt Warner, but let's not assume he isn't talented just because he came from the CFL.

You need more than 2 QBs in camp.
