What the hell is our backup QB situation right now

[Jetstream Green]

I have no confidence in the Canadian passing crutch who is basically an athletic Ryan Lindley... and why was he even on the roster for his running ability when we used him like once is baffling

Andy Lee? Lol!

 

[juza76]

Fitzpatrick, someone who can win games because if something happen with kyler and with the mediocre we used to have for depth the season is gone

I would think we would get a guy a little mobile that can keep the base play calling.

Fitzpatrick despite his age is still really mobile.

Cheaper option should be Tyrod Taylor.

 

[Son of RedRage]

Tyrod Taylor or RGIII make the most sense. Both of them have a similar play style to Kyler, and neither of them are getting a starting job this year. They'll take it.

 

[Harry]

Golden, Gardeck if it’s short yardage.

 

[cardsfanmd]

I’m intrigued by RG 3. He’s a damn good back up. The only problem is he’s horrifically injury prone. Stanton was infuriating because you knew if he had to play more than a game, he’d be hurt and we’d be on to the 3rd stringer.

 

[Proximo]

I heard Fitzpatrick was retiring.

Tyrod Taylor would be a good choice.

 

[JeffGollin]

Injuries are a given.

If we don't improve our situation behind Kyler at backup QB, we are a shipwreck waiting to happen.

Have not heard that Fitzpatrick was retiring. Was recently mentioned as possibly in the mix for a starting quarterback job for a team that is looking for a stopgap!

 

[juza76]

After last season mess with the back up role they don't intend replicate the same stuff naming the former qb from Hawaii the back up

 

[Mainstreet]

I can't believe the Cardinals went last season with Chris Streveler as their backup quarterback. It still makes no sense. He was a situational quarterback at best.

So here it is regarding Fitzpatrick:

Former Dolphins’ QB Ryan Fitzpatrick reached agreement with the Washington Football Team on a one-year deal worth $10 million that could grow to $12 million with incentives, per source. Fitzpatrick is expected to head to camp as the starter, with competition from Taylor Heinicke.

This makes me sick. I loathe the redskins.
Fitzpatrick is a guy I’ve always rooted for. All good things must come to an end, I guess.

 

[TJ]

Would love to bring in a guy like Alex Smith. Think he’d be a very solid reserve and good mentor for Kyler

 

[Shaggy]

Fitz getting $10 million? Wow, good for him.

Like others say, why was Hundley inactive the game Murray went down. Bet they would have won that game if he played instead of Streveler. Also, KK didn't do Steveler any favors on his play calling either.

Fitzpatrick is far better then many overrated qbs in the league

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Heard Alex Smith may go back to KC as a backup. Tyrod Taylor makes the most sense as a backup. RGIII is garbage.

 

[MadCardDisease]

I was wondering the same thing. Haven't heard anything regarding what the Cards plans are for Backup QB. Hated how they handled it last year.

Think back up QB will be in the second wave of signings. Likely looking at a veteran for 1-2 years for a nominal salary. Tyrod fits the mold and I like him. Alex Smith is interesting as who knows what his market will look like and is he looking at a place where he has a chance to be QB1. If not, I really like him as our QB2

 

[jlove]

Alex Smith, Tyrod Taylor, Jacoby Brissett, Mitch Troublisky

 

[cardpa]

We have a backup, his name is Chris Streveler. I guess you guys aren't paying attention.

oh my lord... I thought you were talking about Larry Fitz at first blush. I almost had a heart-attack thinking we gave him that much money.

 

[Proximo]

With Taylor getting 13 mill from Houston, it looks like they are preparing to play hard ball with Watson.

that is not a good decision.
