Jake Dolegala has made the 53

[BURROWorBUST]

In 1.5 preseason games, while getting very few reps in training camp behind Dalton, Driskell, and Finley, Dolegala attempted 53 passes, completing 37 of them for 347 yards (6.5 avg) and a 69.8% completion rate. He threw 2 TDs (3 if the rules didn't suck), and 0 interceptions. He finished the preseason with a QB rating of 100.1.

While showing off a cannon for an arm, he also showed the ability to put some touch on his passes.

He still has alot to learn, but with Van Pelt, Taylor, and others, he's in good hands. I think he has the potential to be a successful starting QB in the NFL.

It's easy to see why they kept him on the 53. But he has some competition to become Dalton's heir apparent (I'm not projecting when that might happen.)

Ryan Finley appeared in 3 preseason games, completing 47 of 64 passes for 414 yards (also a 6.5 avg) and a 73.4% completion rate. He threw 3 TDs, had one INT, and had a QB rating of 99.3.

If Dalton goes down this year, I feel better about our chances of winning games than I did with Driskell, AJM, or any of our other backups in recent memory.
