We need a backup quarterback!

[LXTSN]

Maybe, probably.  But again, with Strev we get a #2 and a SY guy (2-for-1!) for $110k.  Name me one other of player that does that!

Ford, Crum and Patterson I would argue can all throw the ball better, and also handle short yardage duties.

I think teams prefer to have their 3rd string run QB sneaks, and their 2nd string stays ready to come into the game if needed.

Not too many people have much faith in Strev as a #2 anymore.

You have to factor in the injuries/changes to our Oline though.

I'd factor in play-calling, too. As OC, LaPolice appeared to give more leash to Streveler in 2019 than Pierce does this season.

The elephant in the room for the whole season. Buck not putting Streveler in a position where he can succeed.

Agree. I said this in an earlier post. Strev was much better under Lapo.

It's laughable, so many fans claimed Buck was the genius behind the GC wins and LaPo was stagnating and holding the offence back.

100%

In the SY role, Strev did way more under Lapo. Though, ironically, Strev was being allowed to do more until the injury in the Banjo Bowl.

As a back-up, Strev was the exact same ineffective passer in 2019 as he is today.

[Blueforlife]

Strev is good at short yardage.  The criticism on him in that regard is overstated imo.

Lapo was a great OC.  Buck is good and will be great one day likely.

Streveler can throw, the dime he dropped into Harris in the GC... well... its right at the end of the highlight reel below. 

I counted 10 different receivers he threw TD's to, Woli being his favourite target, but the throws all look pretty darned good.  Watch the "all TD's by Streveler" full reel, its worth it.

No news yet on the seriousness of the Streveler injury?  No news of an airlift of another QB to the PR? If he can't play in the next game we have to do something soon.

Agree. Maybe a trade that is taking some time or maybe Strev  will not be gone long? It is unthinkable to play with 2 QB's, one brand new to the league and the other not so durable in recent games.

OK, another question.  Jake Thomas is our emergency Olineman.  Who is our emergency QB?

Great question.  Maybe someone will emerge chucking the ball a bit at practice.

Willie Jefferson lol

Seriously, you have to have 3 QB's on the roster by rule IIRC even if one doesn't actually dress. Lions were doing that with Adams as an example.

We're in our bye at the moment so if Strev will be back for the 2nd of the back to back with Edmonton then maybe that happens.

It's a wait and see what happens in the next few days. 

If we bring in another QB for the PR then that is a bad indication of longer term injury. I've read some of the thoughts about trading for a QB but not a lot of teams have a # 4 QB that allows them to do that. That would create the same problem for them.

Besides they're all holding out demanding Josh Johnson in trade and you know O'Shea won't do that.

[theaardvark]

I'm thinking it is Demski or Wolitarski, although it could be a DB...
