Running QB. Smart move to have a similar QB to Murray as his backup

 

[juza76]

Long shot if he make to the training camp but I think is a type of player will be more used in the future

Potential King of the Wildcats! He was considered a fringe prospect from South Dakota. He first failed to gain the starting job at Minnesota before transferring to SD. He has a big arm, but is not accurate or good at ball placement. He’s fast at 4.40 and strong. Miami brought him in last week but did not offer him. Word is he was viewed as strictly a Wildcat guy. I guess the Cards could see him running gimmick plays on fourth and short or goal line situations. It’s hard to give up a roster spot to someone who can only offer a highly limited role. He’s much weaker than Hundley. I’ve got more notes on him, but I don’t see him as more than a long shot.

I read where they may view him as a Taysom Hill type...

Where’s Mitch to tell us that he’s the QBoF and some hidden gem we unearthed?

Stephen Boyd.

Brian St. Pierre

Richard Bartell

Yeah he said each of those guys was going to be the guy.

Sometimes he is too optimistic

You forgot Preston Parsans (sp) and Stony Case IIRC.

Jake Coker feeling a little left out right now.

In Mitch's defense he was easily the first person to say Leinart was gone.

He was alluding to Leinart getting cut before training camp, and everyone thought it was another one of his far fetched ideas.

I was just going to write this. There will surely be an article on ROTB today saying how he's the next Taysom Hill etc etc only for him to be cut.

This guy isn't here to compete for backup QB.

He's an athletic big bodied runner similar to Taysom Hill that at best is a gadget / ST guy. They are going to play with him in camp and see if he can contribute on ST's first and foremost and take it from there. About 20 to 1 odds he makes the final 53. But QB is probably the 3rd thing on the list he needs to be good at.

He loves an underdog and hates a "diva". It's why he hates on P2 so much and why he didn't like Rosen before he got to know the kid more. He can't stand anyone he deems as "privileged". I'm guessing he had to put up with his fair share of self indulgent kids with rich parents as a teacher and coach.

Wrong. I got destroyed on here for two years for telling everyone Leinart was trash and would never make it from the moment we drafted him. It still blows my mind how people didn’t see what was so blatantly obvious.

I have been hot opn the trail of Easton Stick , currently on the Chargers roster. Streveler seems to be in the same mold. IMNSHO Taysom Hill will be a long time Saint and their starter eventually. The NFL new flavor are the hybrid QBs.

 

[BritCard]

Steveler is fun to watch as a runner. He's not much of a QB but for a good sized guy he accelerates quick, doesn't mind running over people or carrying a guy on his back.

 

[slanidrac16]

BIG YAWN. I’d say it’s a 99% chance he doesn’t even make the practice squad.

lol When I read ROTB there were so many articles on there from Mitch about some JAG we just signed that was going to be the next great thing and they would be cut within days. I jokingly started calling it Walters Curse which didn't go down well. He's a bit sensitive.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Is he big enough to play TE or HBack?

That is why he is over there and no longer here. Which is too bad because his reads were at the very least entertaining, well written and always generated discussions, regardless of how much you disagreed with the premise.

Basically a poor man's Tebow with better touch on his passes from what I have seen

Mark Twain said once you know the truth, you are allowed to stretch the facts which is what one does who writes fiction which has a foundation to keep it plausible no matter the boundaries. This is what Mitch does, uses facts and blends them into fiction which is how he writes about sports. Before any articles he writes they need to start with a disclaimer that this is a article based on actual events and not the actual events themselves. Mitch is a great guy who loves the underdog and the establish success of the athlete usually gets the brunt of his angst except for the Patriots because he needs a Camelot for his Romantic style of writing about sports. It makes for good writing, it's dramatic, but not the truth and this is where I cannot follow the guy because I come to sites for info and not artistic freedom of expression... I leave that part to my comical attempts of actually trying to be accurate when talking about the Cards, though Mitch is far smarter than I am about football lol

I think the athletic QB, RPO etc. is continuing to redefine itself - so-called "gadget" plays will become more a part of each playbook's mainstream.

What we know now as pocket passers will redefine themselves as "good passers but too slow."

Given the projected short shelf life of mobile QB's, I have no problem stacking our QB roster position 3 or 4-deep in guys who can move and throw on the move.

Hill is almost 30 because of his Mormon mission and college years. I doubt he will be a "long time" Saint. How they play him will eventually catch up to him physically IMO. He was pretty banged up in college. He is fun to watch though.

Streveler will probably be camp fodder and not much else. But, if not, I am willing to be pleasantly surprised
