Logan Thomas Claimed by Dolphins

[Mitch]

Your thoughts?

Mine are to follow.

 

[DVontel]

Beat me to it.

I think he's a good fit in that zone-read, check-down offense.

 

[vince56]

We gambled and lost with the 4th round pick, but I'd do the gamble again every year until you find one that can develop.

 

[DVontel]

And then sort of OT: RT @senorjessroot: Harold Jones-Quartey also claimed by Chicago Bears.


Damnit, I really wanted him on the squad. Hate how we cutted HJQ & Shipley, but keep Golden & injury-prone Troy Nikglass.

 

[Buckybird]

Still wasn't sold on JT despite his better success this preseason. He did most of his work against 3-4 string guys who are now unemployed.

 

[FlaCardFan]

Good Riddance.....like I said and I know Barkley isn't the solution, but we couldn't even trust him last year-we had to go out and sign someone off of someone else's practice squad in our potentially best regular season ever. He was decent against grocery baggers but I would have actually preferred Sims-to me he had some upside but I guess we will never know.

 

[redheat]

Just happy sea didn't get them.

What isn't fair about your statement is that we couldn't trust him last year. Even BA admitted that he never envisioned playing LT, which is why once the season started and LT was running the scout team, he never got reps in BA's offense.

How can he run the offense if he wasn't getting reps?

This makes me sick to my stomach. Best, toughest tackler in pre-season on a team that needs tacklers. Let's face it BA's Cardinals are more about finesse and sucking up to a bunch of hammy pulled vets.

John Fox is a defensive HC---the Bears were soft on D under Trestman---moves like this will help Fox turn the tables.

Plus---the Bears were 7th in the waiver claim order---so Jones-Quartey didn't make it past team #7. That says something.

He was a mistake draft pick...He was over-drafted and should have never been taken. We all know about his accuracy problems in college-that is something that was never going to be fixed. I could have seen drafting him and maybe have him make a position change (TE maybe?).

I'm sorry to say Mitch-the guy couldn't even beat out the warmed over garbage Ryan Lindley to lead this team last season. BA tried to give him reps and then went and got Lindley-we all remember this. I honestly thought he would have been cut last year but he is a decent athlete. I am glad he is gone-that way we can start looking for our next QBOF..... EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE here knew and knows now that he WAS NEVER GOING TO BE THAT!!!

 

[Mitch]

Dolphins were #14 in the pecking order---#15 is SF---if SF put in a claim for LT, they got trumped by the Dolphins.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

But hey, we've still got Nickedglass and SOWELL!!!!!

How can you say he hasn't at least somewhat fixed the accuracy issue when he hasn't had hardly any inaccurate throws throughout the whole preseason.

 

[HeavyB3]

Sowell gets cut to make room for massie's return

I don't care who you are as a QB---if you are a rookie and you have been running the scout team and at Week 12 you now get reps in your own offense which you are still trying to learn and haven't gotten any reps for 13 weeks---how could he have pulled that off? The HC even admitted to this, which is why he didn't want to throw LT to the wolves.

This PS he gets reps and plays well in 3 of the 4 games---the last two leading the team from behind to win. It's not like he was failing miserably in the games. In fact, going 9/10 for 116 yards and a TD at Denver was superb, especially for a developmental QB.

I guess I am one of the few who recognized the talents and the potential---i never counted him out and this pre-season was encouraging, I felt. I even loved the read options he ran at the end of the Broncos' game. What I love about him is he's fearless---he's not some nervous Nellie in the pocket the likes of which we have been all too familiar with...even Stanton looks a little jittery to me. But, like Carson Palmer, LT had no problem standing tall and hanging in the pocket.

 

[football karma]

Shocking: team that has great safety depth cuts safety that is claimed by another team.

I don't think it's as easy as "cut Nicklas, keep Quartey". With no fullback -- you would be down to 3 tight ends -- on an offense that likes 2 TE sets. You can't cut Sowell until Massie returns --

I don't get the emoting over this

 

[Buckybird]

Still accomplished that against 3-4 stringers. I trust the HC & I still don't think the kid can run an NFL offense against competent NFL players.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

One of our TEs could play tackle better than NOT-SOWELL.

 

[gmabel830]

Because there are also things called mini camps, OTAs, and training camp, and reports are that he was plenty inaccurate at those.

Who else is a developmental player to face?

What does that have to do with throwing accurately? Sure it would be harder to make the correct reads and throw to the right guy against more talented defenders, but an accurate throw is an accurate throw.

 

[Garthshort]

I think that both players, LT and JQ, being picked up is a tribute to the talent of our roster.

Your not the only one mitch. I was high on LT this year and was happy to see how well he improve this year in PS. I have a feeling LT will be a starting qb in a year or two and all of us will regret that the cards waived him in 2015.

 

[Buckybird]

While I totally get where your coming from isn't it a telling sign in the player when BA never gave him that shot? Hmmmm

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

He was actually making his progressions this year.
