Screw this team is they're holding back on signing Alford because it will guarantee his salary. With cap room to burn, you should be trying to win football games, not pinch pennies, especially when your CB room currently is terrifying in the face of the best QB in the game.
If Colt was that badly injured, we should have been looking for a competent #2. Not a third stringer. Colt can win games, he has proven that. But if he's injured, we should have cut or loses weeks ago and had someone in camp just in case. Best case scenario is Klyer stays healthy all season (we can hope) but that last two years prove otherwise.
Not talking about third string. I'm talking about the back up. Obviously, we are screwed if Kyler gets hurt long term but we need a competent backup. I don't know who is currently available but I have to imagine there is someone better than McSorely. My point is, this is a move that should have happened weeks ago, since Colt has not played all camp.
If long term, you are right. But if we are talking about a game or two, then it's not pointless. In 2020 Rams beat us with backup Wolford starting. 9ers beat us with their third stringer Beathard. The Eagles won the superbowl with their backup. You think that would have happened if McSorely was the guy? Every team needs a competent backup, especially if QB has propensity to get injured.
It’s 4 week IR… Mcsorely is fine if something happens in weeks 1-4.
That's the can't do, #birdcity spirit we've become known for
LOL. I'm not a koolaid drinker by any means but if Kyler can't guide this team to a win in the first month of the season, then we definitely shouldn't have signed him to a mega contract.
