Did they just realize he didn't play for Arians so there was no point in pumping him for information, or is the guy the QB starved Vikings just cut really that good?

I've never heard of Bethel-Thompson or whatever he is, is he maybe a running QB who fits the revamped offense better?

Started games at UCLA, then had a good career at Sacramento State. From SF.

SIGN SKELTON NOW! We need his info on the niners play book

I would be surprised if he knew one play, which was a supposed reason he was cut in AZ & probably didn't help his ability to play. Plus he just sucked azz too.

Hell, Josh McCown is still drawing NFL checks as a backup for the Bears. If you ever show any ability as a QB at all, you can be recycled for a long, long time. Doesn't take much. Just a couple of decent games, and good physical measurements.

But he was on Harbaugh's team, so let's sign him real quick and pump him for info on the Niners!

:D

people who think double duece is a good qb and a viable option need to get their heads checked.

These guys can't get or keep jobs as backups on other teams, and they STARTED for us in the past. Leave carson alone, ffs. Yeah, he can be a hot mess but he's still fairly legit...we started John F Skelton last season.

Palmer might be the definition of damned decent. Maybe?

Wow. Good point. I think we need a Shane H ruling here since damned decent is his Frankenstein.
Oh, I thought it was yours. No way Shane gives him a damned decent. He doesn't like anyone but Q.

No, Shane made up damned decent and I laughed my ass off at the term. It is my favorite nonsense term though.
