Here comes the cuts

If Coleman is No. 2, one name to watch would be Tolzien for #Packers PS. West Coast offense background would make sense. Knows SF, too.

Tolzien might be upgrade over Harrell, but not by much.

Of course beggars can't be choosey

Interesting. RT @dj45williams: We'll pack nation. It was fun. Thanks for all the support and good memories. There's no place like lambeau

pbmax typing out loud: StoneBuckeye to PS, Finley, Mulligan, Taylor, Bostick?, Quarless?

That was my Freshman year at UW-Zero. I was probably throwing up outside of Kelly's during the game.

Right across from one of my favorite hangouts in early 80's, the Alibi.

Bostick passed Williams on special teams last week. Wasn't sure if that was on merit or a look-see.

I was aware of Pat White as a QB option who did well in the Skins' 2013 camp.

Interesting question, especially since we brought in Vince Young: Are MM/TT interested in the best available QB, regardless of skillset, or do they prefer one similar to Rogers' talents and our offensive system? How do salary/age/injury concerns play into the decision-making?

[mraynrand]

Seneca Wallace?

I saw him in preseason take a few snaps. He looked like Seneca Wallace: Fair accuracy, no arm, still good motor. Better than Charlie Batch. Stop gap.

Is Coleman today any worse than Harrell last year? I assume if he comes in for a snap, he won't fumble it.

are any of the current backups better then randle "wild" cobb?

after watching harrell last night i thought to myself "do we even have to waste a roster spot on a completely worthless player"?

i think it would be scary to have "limp wrist" harrell come into the game and try and continue using the same type of passing game that a-rod uses. i saw him make one pass to the sideline that seemed like it took forever to get out there. those long passes to the sideline have to come out of the playbook when a-rod comes out.

and if we have to change the scheme for a backup QB, why not just throw cobb back there (if he's healthy) and let him run the wild cat or something like it for the rest of the game?

keep a normal QB on the practice squad for running the b-team in practice, and use the roster spot for someone who might contribute to the team

Red, PB and I were talking about this thread (well, at least I was) The subject of Cobb's QB skill set has been discussed. Still, nice post.
