Who is our 3rd QB? Teams may now carry three QB's

[erod]

There are 15-20 legit NFL quarterbacks. The rest are garbage.

 

[StarOfGlory]

But whoever it was would’ve been worse than Josh Johnson right?

At least he would have been healthy. Miracles do happen?

They used up too many miracles being on their 4th string qb lol.

They should have done this ages ago from a product stand point, kinda shocked it took a championship game to get here.

Especially during the covid testing games where WRs were playing QB

The new rule allows for QB3 to be immediately be activated if QB1 and QB2 can't play during the course of a game.
Basically --- QB3, if needed, becomes a 47th "active" player, even though he was on the inactive list at the start of the game.

QB3 will have to be on your 53 roster leading up to the game.

Yep.
You get an extra active player on gameday *if* you carry 3 QBs on your 53 man roster and *choose* to make 2 of them active on game day.

"It's a passing league."

Just more No Fun League, IMO.

Much more *interesting* to have a team have to finish a game w/o a QB. That's a game I want to watch. That's a game people will talk about.

They're killing a real story so teams can instead put a PS level QB on the field to lose. Meh.

Not sure this moves the needle at all. The odds that you lose both qbs in a game are low, the odds that your 3rd string qb wins the game for you are much lower.

Willie Beamen

 

[reddyuta]

NOT Will Grier.

 

[KJJ]

The playoffs changed another rule.

 

[KJJ]

NOT Will Grier.

As of right now he would be.

So they still can’t bring in a fan out of the stands? Not even season ticket holders?

 

[stilltheguru]

Grier is trash. That is all

 

[Pola_pe_a]

Just allow all 53 players to be active on game day.

I don’t get why you wouldn’t expand rosters so guys can be fresher. Seems it would improve play.

Larger rosters means less money in the pocket of Dak and Zeke. Not happening.

No it doesn’t lol. It means less money for owners. More money for players. Why is it less for Dak and Zeke but not less for Parsons or Burrow? Weird….

It doesn’t I mean I have no issue with it but the league is overreacting based on what happened to San Fran.

Sorry did not realize you had the Owners blessing and were redoing the entire CBA. My bad.

What?

 

[MyFairLady]

I believe players currently get 48% of revenue sharing profits. I am no mathemagician but if there are more players in the pool then each player would get less.

Parsons is on a rookie deal. He is currently getting hosed. Burrow either makes the super bowl of loses to the Chiefs every year. Zeke is a fat little greedy pig who got paid and quit on his team. Dak is a greed monster who builds his resume on regular season stats.
