Twitter: Laufenberg says Gilbert and DiNucci are done

Mike talked like Gilbert and Rush were neck and neck but didn't sound enthused about either one. Personally I wish they'd find someone on another team because neither is any good.

Dinucci isn't even worth mentioning. He's not even fit for a practice squad.

Not that it will pay off, but I can see them adding a young QB that got cut from another team to the PS instead of DiNucci. Kinda like Thorson a couple of years ago

Rush looked adequate if not improved. Still, it's shaky backup depth.

Rush looked the best of the three. Just thinking Rush and Gilbert have both accrued enough active roster games to be ineligible for PS which leave DiNucci. I haven't checked the numbers to be sure though.

Looks like Rush got him back into consideration for #2

It is way worse than shaky it sucks

They need to sign Kapernick

Babe should know. I remember him being one of the worst qbs in the history of the league.

Lol, sign him for what?

 

[TheCoolFan]

Neither Rush and Gilbert are ideal options but between the two, I always preferred Rush. He's been with the team longer and is more familiar with Kellen Moore. If we're going to go cheap at the position either way, might as well keep Rush since they were grooming him to be the Jason Garrett-like backup since 2017 before they let him go last year.

You guys still support this organization? Buying gear and paying too dollar for this garbage? We have the worst backups in the NFL.

If Dak is as healthy as they say then it doesn’t really matter.

If not then they should’ve been trying to get Trubisky at the very least.

Laxatives' dispenser

More like Gilbert played himself out of the No. 2 spot. Not trying to take anything away from Rush because he had a good outing.

Don't remind me. The Atlanta game in 1990 (IIRC) cost us a playoff spot.

They need to go get a veteran backup even if they keep Rush because he's not saving the season if Dak goes down for an extended period of time.

If Dak is as healthy as they say then it doesn’t really matter.

I have a hard time believing the Bills would ditch him without significant compensation. Why would the Bills trade places with Dallas and leave themselves without a backup for anything less than a pretty good pick?

 

[Hoofbite]

I said it in the game thread, Gilbert looked like he was playing NOT to lose the backup role. Rush was playing like he was trying to earn it.

I don't want either as primary backup, but here we are and if I have to choose between the 2 then Rush it is.

They didn't help themselves. This was a make or break preseason game.
