oh good....we are thin at qb..........

 

why?

 

maybe they see a TE in him, cant believe that this guy will take a rep away from chad, thigpen, white or even henne

 

Think its just to personally scout some guys they are intrigued by. no way he sticks. but if you get injuries to your QBs you may want a cheap 3rd stringer

 

If it were the Oakland Raiders it would be safe to say that Al Davis genuinely thinks it's Tommy Brady.

 

:lol:

 

i think 4 qb´s is well enough

 

You typically have four arms in camp.

We carry three. If one were to go down, it's nice if the 4th guy is already immersed in the offense.

Don't read too much more into it.

 

yeah at most this guy is getting a practice squad tryout. even if penny went down tomorrow there is no way we sign this guy this year.

 

here is his pro day report from 2008

http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/article.aspx?articleID=20080312_2_B2_spanc35686

Grady left OU shortly before the 2005 season, bowing out of a quarterback race with Rhett Bomar and Paul Thompson. He transferred to Utah, where he redshirted a year, then, after a coaching change, mostly rode the bench. But he played enough for NFL scouts to want a closer look.

On Monday he worked out for 13 scouts at Utah; on Tuesday more than 20 teams (roughly 60 scouts) saw him. OU coach Bob Stoops welcomed Grady back.

"We didn't have a quarterback to throw (for pass receiving drills), so that worked out good," Stoops said. "Tommy asked to come back and do some things, so it worked out good for him and for us."

At OU, Grady was 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds. Now he's 6-6 and 245, with bulging muscles. Almost all his passes were virtually perfect.

"Tommy's got an arm on him," said running back Allen Patrick. "He came out here and threw some pretty good balls today."

Grady said he immediately doubted his decision to leave OU -- particularly in light of OU's quarterback situations the last three preseasons.

"I regret leaving this place," he said. "Like
coach (Chuck) Long said, it's not always greener on the other side. I was looking forward to leaving, but when I left, I was wishing I had stayed here.

"I think I could have stuck it out. Coach Long was kind of telling me that, because they had Paul and Rhett at the time, he told me I wasn't going to be able to compete in the fall. So I thought Rhett was going to come in and do a good job. He did good, but he had his thing going on. I regret leaving, but I try not to look back too much."

See other thread. Pat White in danger of missing entire season; will miss camp. He's not taking away anyone's reps. He's taking up White's.

 

pat white practiced today

 

I was just about to say nevermind. Dang you guys are fast.

 

Plus, no matter what they say, I really can't help but feel that they do not want to push Pennington's arm with the number of throws you have to make in camp. And this takes some of the throws off of Henne and Thigpen's shoulders. Besides, this is just another rock to turn over. Who know's, he might be here if Pennington decides to become the QB coach.

 

Or could it be the kid is 6' 6" 245 and has a rocket arm who lit up the arena league like Kurt Warner did. Doesn't hurt to check.

 

well parcells said (think it was parcells) that they're simply looking for a practice squad QB who could come in if someone gets injured. He's the first one they'll look at IMO. He's got the size and tools. His brother was a QB for Fresno State so he''s got the football background I'm sure Parcells digs and like you said Warner came fromt there. I looked at his stats and he had the fifth most yds this season in the AFL IIRC. Who knows. It puts a premium on quick decisions and passing accurately. Maybe he got better?

This organization really leaves no stone unturned. From the CFL to the AFL we're nationwide in our scouting

 

I think what you mean is that Pat White is just really skinny.

 

I like this. dude is 6-6 , 6-7 sopposedly has an arm and since he played in he AFL he can make quick decisions. i hope he gets signed then we can drop whites bum a$$, trade Thigpen(i like thigpen) keep penny and make this guy a solid NFL QB. I see this as a possibhle upgrade

 

Good. Now go after Andy Ross and Les Walker. Perhaps even Gerrard Nayo.

 

Prince Milcork?

 

Bump.

Maybe this guy could come in and lead us to the playoffs.

 

Lol Tom Brady overshadowed by Tommy Graddy <-- say it like Grade-E

 

If you are going to bump a thread make it count. That was lame.:lol:

 

Carp lost his touch. Maybe we can bring that kid Adam Vandelari to light a fire under him.

 

Made me laugh again 2 years later.

 

OMG!! I was so confused! I am thinking, Al Davis is DEAD, Henne and Penny are gone, why are people talking about them??? Now I have a headache!

 

I must confess. I laid on my iPad and someway somehow THIS thread was up when I realized what I was laying on...true story, so I just bumped it for the hell of it.
