I want Boyle to make the PS.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

Most teams have the option to sign Boyle to their practice squad ahead of the Packers. Although Boyle is just a hope, I can easily see that one other team would rate Boyle as a slightly better prospect than their own refuse. Somebody like the Lions or Bears might even enjoy sticking it to the Packers.Originally posted by Tony Oday View PostI want Boyle to make the PS.
Did most Packer fans forsee Lil Joe Callahan not making it to the PS a couple years ago? QBs with a chance have extra value.

No team would have a priority on signing Boyle unless it is to the active roster. Once he clears waivers, he can sign with any team's practice squad.Originally posted by Harlan Huckleby View PostMost teams have the option to sign Boyle to their practice squad ahead of the Packers.

ya, I got that confused. But that makes even more practice squads available to Boyle.

If you're Boyle, you'll go wherever you feel you have the best shot at becoming the backup, and then hopefully staying long enough to have a shot. Also, if you are Boyle, do Hundley and/or Kizer scare you away from staying with the Packers practice squad should one of them likely win the job? I don't think the Packers will keep both Kizer and Hundley.Originally posted by Harlan Huckleby View Postya, I got that confused. But that makes even more practice squads available to Boyle.

Yeah, if Boyle clears waivers, hopefully the Packers use a practice squad spot for him, given the uncertainty of the backup QB position."Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick Moynihan

So you probably meant to vote for only Kizer for the 53, but you voted for Boyle as well. Pollsters are tricky bastards. Don't feel bad, you voted correctly. Besides, there will be 2 or 3 more Backup QB polls where you can try again. Thank you for playing.Originally posted by Carolina_Packer View PostYeah, if Boyle clears waivers, hopefully the Packers use a practice squad spot for him, given the uncertainty of the backup QB position.

Right now Hundley is ahead of Kizer because he's been in the system longer. Gute traded away a former 1st round pick and it appears we were considering drafting Kizer but took King instead. I have this feeling both QBs will be kept and then they'll roll the dice and see if Boyle passes waivers so we can put him on the PS.

what, really? Do you have a source? This is interesting, I hadn't heard this before (or I forgot)..."Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - Woodbuck
