Why is everyone so mad at Scott Tolzien? 

Not mad at ST at all.  I just want to see what the other QB's can do running with the 1's.  ST is never going to change, he is what he is.  Let's see what the others can do with the 1's.  If the OL is not giving him a clean pocket ST is bad...and that's being nice.

Yeah, that is my opinion.

Just happy he's the back up. Hope it stays that way.

What worries me with ST is that he may need to be #1

[Peterk2011]

What a nice catch

[HOF19]

If the Cowboys do not keep this guy that's out there now we will take him !

[will426]

For those saying game plans are simplified during the preseason..from looking at our past Season didn't the gameplans look as simple as this? lol

[chad72]

Tolzien, once Chud expanded the playbook to 20 yard routes for him, settled down and was respectable but a guy who can help us beat a mid-tier team for a whole game, I don't see it.

It's PREseason. Game plans are simplified. Relax and enjoy the positives. 

Understood. I'm still just completely unconvinced that Chud has much to offer...

[HOF19]

Ridgeway nice play.

Walker is playing as bad as everyone is pretending Tolzien played.

It could be the other 10 guys out there

A couple of poor throws, but he deserves some time...if they give ST so much time (SMH).

They give Tolzien time because he's gong to start the season if Andrew cant.

The other guys are not

Walker just dirted two passes when receivers were actually open. I don't want to see him with the ones. 

[Peterk2011]

Who's that guy named Hightower? Was he with the team all offseason? Or a new signing?

[PrincetonTiger]

Terrible job by Blackmon

[Johnny U.]

That was way too easy!

He was here last year

Agreed

I think some of guys are being to hard on Walker, he played better than Tolzien last week and will still get a couple more possessions. I like this kid a lot!

What game you were you watching?lol

[oldunclemark]

The backup QB is always the most popular guy on the board

Lee Hightower. He's been with the Colts the entire offseason. He was signed in January.

Agree, Walker is at best PS material. They should see what they have in Morris if he's more PS worthy than Walker, IMO

You can't compare them then

I think that's a little shortsighted of you (couldn't resist that one, sorry, haha).  You're telling me ST had perfect throws?

Okay, so you don't like Walker.  Let's play Morris.  Give him a chance with the 1's.

Not sure Morris has anymore PS time left

[ThaCaliColt]

What do you guys think about Prescott? I'm wondering if this kid was a once in a generation steal...

Go look at the throws Tolzein made and the plays called against the Steelers last year and come back to me.

[Johnny U.]

I've seen enough of Walker.

I'm ok with giving the guy playing time, but he was terrible last week.,  :D. And not showing much this week neither.

 

The coaches see him in practice, maybe he has something that is not showing yet in games. I see nothing in this kid. thats sure.

[coltsfeva]

Hope to see Morris in 4th

[HOF19]

I may get criticized for this.......BUT CUT WALKER NOW !!!

Absolutely I can. Tolzien threw the ball accurately, and I don't understand why everyone is acting like he was bad today.

Tolzien threw the ball well today. All short stuff, but he hit his receivers, even against tight coverage and with poor protection. Almost every completion from Walker has been high, and the receiver has had to jump to make the catch.

 

Morris wasn't good last week either, aside from the last drive.

 

I'm convinced Tolzien is significantly better than Walker and Morris. Doesn't mean I'm a Tolzien fan, but it's crazy to me that everyone is banging Tolzien while itching to see two guys that are clearly worse.

[PrincetonTiger]

Bad snap by Redmond/bad reception by Walker

[KB]

How is Walker supposed to pass over Banner

Maybe he practices like Tarzan but plays like Jane.

Okay I know that game was a great game called with lack of execution. Just 1 now go to a couple of other horribly called games WITH luck and see how he could make things so simple for Scott but make it extravagant for luck..

A little of both

 Because they tell luck to throw it deep and never take the under route

Wasn't a great snap, but Walker should have handled it. Every snap isn't perfect, he just let the ball go through his hands.
