My thoughts are we should bring in a veteran and a young guy through the draft and let them battle it out for top backup. Because we are gearing up to draft a QB @ 4 Edited February 18 by jetpac JetJones11 and blknoble357 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Run 'n' Shoot 785 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Being a backup in Atlanta means nothing. What like 3 games since 2008? We could get any warm body to throw balls in practice. FWIW if Benkert was worth playing he would've played more. Never came within a whiff of supplanting Schaub. Except on the boards.

quickzero 645 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) I wanted to see Benkert compete in Falcons uniform, oh well i guess. We could sign him later if he doesn't end up under contract somewhere else. Edited February 18 by quickzero Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ATLskinjob 1,040 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I feel nothing from this move. I'm surprised that people found a way to form an attachment to him. Good luck out there man! I hope we use a compensatory pick in the 5th to snag a developmental backup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aluminafalcon 277 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Lol Matt is probably wondering if Tyrod Taylor is available and can he play the first three games Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would want to draft my own for my own system, especially if I were in a position like Arthur Smith where he's the HC and the playcaller. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wjcorner 3,876 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 1 hour ago, dirtybirds233 said: Yep. There's currently 31 non-PS players on the roster, releasing a PS QB isn't done to 'create room' for another QB when there's plenty of openings lol. This just seems like posturing. Go into the draft with one QB making it seem like you're going to draft one, makes a QB needy team trigger happy, trade back for a haul, then sign a veteran backup. I’d hope we go into the draft with our back up QB on the books if we’re planning on it being a veteran. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
