Who knows what they've got in mind moving forward ? But I'm not so sure they're gonna keep an UDFA on the roster as trade bait ? Trades in the NFL are like hens teeth.

You would think that he would have a type of guy that he wants for his offense and he's not going to just keep somoene in there because they're 'capable' and safe. 

This has been an offensive-leaning league for several years now and Marv just never latched onto that way of thinking. He was always stuck in running, defense and field position. 

I'm looking forward to seeing a more progressive system that looks like a typical NFL offense of this day--not days gone by.

(08-31-2019, 03:25 PM)Whatever Wrote: He looks good considering he got very limited practice reps.  A big thing with backup QB's is they basically have to come in with limited preparation and produce.  He also has plus physical traits to develop with his size and arm strength.  Obviously, there's a slim chance he's the next Kurt Warner or Tony Romo, but he's shown enough positives to develop him and see if he can reach that level.

(08-31-2019, 03:41 PM)rfaulk34 Wrote: Big guy, big arm. Already has pretty good footwork. He looks to have a lot to work with. Coming from an FCS school, and with very little help around him, he looks pretty good out there--though we're talking about 3rd and 4th string--against guys that were still some of the better players from a lot of bigtime college programs. 

He certainly didn't look out of place or overwhelmed. 

Added bonus; he has Boomers old number.

Spot on about Taylor and Marv. This is what I like the best as well. Complete opposites.



Wow, want to see more of Dolegala now Sunset. Gotta go check this guys highlights out.

Just thought he had a weird name and people thought it was funny. Guess not. Sounds like a real talent.

At a minimum I feel better about our backup QB's than I have in quite sometime.

But I do like Finley and it is nice to hear that our other backup has some tools to work with.

Van Pelt is a good QB coach too, so anything is possible.

(09-01-2019, 04:17 PM)SunsetBengal Wrote: Yeah, I was a little worried about Finley, with all of the negative reports that were coming from camp.  However, when the games began, he looked really calm and comfortable in the pocket.  Not sure that I'd like to see Finley as our starter any time soon, but if the need should arise, I think we'd be in better shape with him that we were with Driskel last year.

I'm guessing not many of them will be undrafted rookies.
