No TDs in four Pre-Season games. Not One.

NH3...

Given the line that he played behind, and the limited time we saw either guy with starter-level talent, I can't say this for certain. Remember when Quinn Gray looked to be lights out every preseason when we put him in against the third stringers?

McGough is more mobile, but I firmly believe that the FO is going to ride this out and stick with the draft pick as the backup. It would be egg on their face to do otherwise.

I still do not believe we have a capable backup on this roster, though. We need to invest in a developmental guy, I simply have no faith in these noodle-armed air raid guys.

Yes, McGough has rushed for 2, but I wanna see at least one of our backups prove that they can score with their arm. Guys I would be looking at if they are cut are......

1. Brian Hoyer, New England
2. Jarett Stidham, New England
3. Tim Boyle, Green Bay
4. Kyle Lauletta, New York Giants
5. Kyle Sloter, Minnesota
6. Cardale Jones, L.A. Chargers
7. Sean Mannion, Minnesota
8. C.J. Beathard, San Francisco

On Top of that, I would try to swing a player for player deal for RB C.J. Procise of Seattle.

Did anybody else catch the broadcast, where they hinted that we might even consider Etling? Dude is what 8 days on the roster, and seemed to do just fine out there, but was fourth on their depth chart I believe. I could see someone like that making the PS.

Stidham ain't going anywhere, you can take him off the radar, too. Credit for optimism, though!

Right now he’s about on par with what Cody Kessler was last year. I think that’s a good thing considering he’s a rookie. Sure, you would’ve liked to have seen more but he hasn’t had much of a supporting cast with Wester trying to get him killed on every snap combined with the drops from the WRs and penalties. IIRC, he’s had two TDs called back because of penalties this preseason.

Good gravy I thought we were going to see the first ever mid-game cut, that dude doesn't belong on a roster.
