Sad to see Parker go but makes sense too much $ for a good but not great player.  Worth it to develop a new face.  I liked him and he played well last year.  He will be employed but will take a pay cut.

I will go on record as saying that I want the back-up QB to take 0% of normal offensive snaps.

LOL

I'd have no issue with back up QB's playing 25% of the time if situations allowed. The development time is essentially and it reduces the risk of injury to the starter.

Looking at the game scores from 2025 I only saw a couple of games where leads were insurmountable to create that opportunity. Hence deciding how much of a lead is ever enough is the catch / gamble.

I will go on record stating that 25% is my desired amount of playing time for our backups total over the entire season.  I am not back tracking on that.  Willing to discuss what others want and that's why I floated different numbers.  Not asking for significant playing time.  Looking for our backups to get packages, garbage time and play when Zach is hurt.  You stated that other teams don't play their backups and they have and do.  Best we move on.

You followed up by saying maybe 25% was high and offered 15-20%. That's a back track by definition. MOS doesn't play his back ups enough and that becomes more of an issue with no clear # 2.

You can't really predict how much opportunity time there might be a season. So many games aren't decided until the final 3 minutes. I seriously doubt that any team saw the # 2 QB get significant time unless the # 1 was injured.

What team do you think did that? Elks demoted Ford before Fajardo became the starter but he wasn't seeing the field much before that demotion.

At this point none of us are really sure what our depth order will look like. For that matter we aren't sure who will be on the roster.

Good point about us not having a clue what will happen and yes the league has parity and likely less garbage time going forward for a bit.  Days of the Kerwin Bell being blown out by 50 are behind us lol.

I will go on record as saying that I want the back-up QB to take 0% of normal offensive snaps.

Wow interesting, are you currently in line in a competition for a coaching mentorship under MOS.  You just checked the 1st box lol.

All joking aside I like this % game.  Hope others chime in.  Tells a story.

Wow, they moved on from Parker giving him a head start on FA.  Kind of thought he was in danger of being replaced with the players they brought in last season, obviously they see Cam Allen, Dexter Lawson and Demerio Houston as better options.

Yes but Lawson and Houston are still technically potential free agents. Deals may have been made but not announced.

Wallace, Vanterpool and Randolph are still under contract, not that means their jobs are safe.

Vanterpool might be at the greatest risk for an OL under contract. 8 games in 2 seasons and lots of OL being signed.

Bryant usually re-signs by mid January.

Lofton injury status is unknown to me but either way is a TBD.
