This is the answer. Beathard played a big part in Lawrence’s development by teaching him how to watch and breakdown game film. I’m sure there’s a strong bond between the two.

If Trevor wants him here, make him a coach. Pay him to be Trevor's PA, whatever. It doesn't mean he should see the field or even be on the roster.

Honestly not sure what’s with the Beathard hate. Did he steal your girlfriend or something?

I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

Nothing to worry about, Rourke will be on our practice squad.

If your back up wouldn't be the starter on at least half the teams in the NFL, he sucks.

Which basically keeps him as a free agent for other teams to bring on to their 53 player roster during the season if they so desire.

Lol, what? There aren't 32 starters as it is. Once you're into the 40th best QB in the league it's just guys that aren't very good.

It's called sarcasm.

I thought Beathard looked pretty good compared to the 2nd string QBs we faced this preseason.

I agree. He played pretty well on the whole. 
60% comp rate - 350ish yards - 2 TDs 1 INT - 92 QBR

pretty standard back-up type numbers

Rourke had a 65% comp rate and slightly higher QBR - but also faced lower depth chart defenders
*shrug*

Also - it's long been known Baalke is a staunch "prototypical size guy" when it comes to QBs
I was surprised he brought in the smaller in stature Rourke to begin with
Maybe he makes the PS - not losing sleep on it

Unless your intention is to give them experience to become your starter, you don't want a 1st year developmental player as your main backup.

This.  Rourke was always destined for the practice squad.  Maybe next year he can supplant Beathard if he is not signed somewhere else.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

"Maybe he makes the PS - not losing sleep on it"   Stop with the logic. Its so confusing.

dumb move

if they wanted to see if he can play, then give him reps with the 2's at the very least earlier in the games

---

Maybe he gets claimed by New England. Bill only has one QB on the team right now.

As well as only 1 QB, they also only have 2 RBs and 2 TEs on the roster right now. Brady really masked how terrible Bill is at drafting.

Bill's dog wasn't there this year due to frustration. Bill just wouldn't listen to her.

Rourke has a future in the NFL in some capacity.

If he makes PS we can't designate him as a "protected player" and he can't be signed away. You can protect four players from the PS now. Rourke is a prime candidate for that

IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

So True !!   This is becoming more and more obvious after each year.

Rourke was unclaimed, and he's signing up for the practice squad.

All that handwringing for nothing.

And... voila!
He's signing to our PS
