so that means we resign pat white ?

 

Or Adam Froman, who ran a 4.54 at his Pro Day at 6'4" and 220 lbs.

 

I remember sitting in the stands and laughing my *** off because those plays were actually working.

That was such a stupid rule to begin with!

 

I don't know about "quite a market". I think Atlanta and San Fran are interested. But I know that both Adam and his agent are leaning toward Miami. I know that because they told me.

 

Keep in mind that any team that wanted to could have listed their #3 QB among the 45 active players for game day. The whole rules about being able to toss an inactive QB in the game despite his being inactive came about because teams didn't want to use one of the 45 active spots for the 3rd QB. How long before they stop wanting to have to include a 3rd QB among the 46 active players, preferring another more useful position? And then once everyone starts doing that, there'll be a clamor for emergency QB rules again.

 

I think it turned out to be our best Wildcat plays all year.

 

Indeed. But I'm wondering if this is a rule that states, if you have a 3rd QB on your roster, he must be active during game days now. or something along those lines so teams could not use it on another position.

 

There are a number of things that were funny about that sequence. Not least of which was, it was totally unnecessary. Tyler Thigpen finished the game anyway. He could absolutely have come in and started throwing passes or handing the ball off in the 3rd quarter, it wouldn't have mattered. They wanted to preserve Chad Henne's ability to come back in if his injury wasn't severe...but why? They'd already benched the guy. No harm in letting Thigpen play about 17 minutes of a game you're already winning, in place of a guy you benched that just hurt his knee.

 

Could be. Could be a rule that states 43 active non-QB players and "up to" 3 active QBs.

 

Dunno. I hear he's trying his luck at professional underwater basket-weaving.

 

From what I can gather the new rule is simply that you must name 46 active players on game day and nobody among the inactives is allowed to play for any reason.

In other words, list only two QBs if you dare, but if those two get hurt then you have no QB for the rest of the game. So you'd probably better list three QBs to be safe.

 

I never understood why all players are not active. Someone tried to explain a competitive balance because of injuries but, didn't buy that reason. Anyone else?

 

With quarterbacks being more and more protected by rules changes, the likelihood in my view is that the 3rd quarterback will become less and less important.
