Ballard Presser 9/1 Anecdote

[Scott Pennock]

When queried about QB's he said they were looking at short AND long term options.

 

Brian Hoyer on a one or two year contract is obviously short term....

 

How about a 21 year old Tyree Jackson from Buffalo? 6'7", mobile, good arm....

 

Or even a Kyle Lauletta? 

 

Sign one of them to one of our 3 remaining spots on the PS and you've satisfied both needs?

Lauletta signed to Eagles practice squad.

Ya and I think Jackson is on the Bills PS.

Good stuff. I wouldn't expect anything less from Ballard - explore all options, pick the one that makes the most sense. 

[Coltsman1788]

Ballard also pretty much mention Josh McDaniels and Andrew Luck in the same breath in terms of situational obstacles that had to overcome. I thought that was interesting.  He might be carrying a little chip.

Short-term: Brissett starting with Hoyer as primary back-up.

 

Long-term: Brissett gets a two-year audition for Long-term solution.  In the mean time, we keep our eyes open for other young QBs with potential, without making any big commitment.  Ooh, I see one now!: Kelly.

Re: "carrying a little chip", wouldn't you?

 

I like the way that Chris Ballard and Frank Reich address overcoming obstacles. Something is always coming up - deal with it.

He did say they like Kelly. 

 

I agree with him.

If you sign a player from another team's practice squad, you have to sign them to the 53 man roster.

If they like Kelly why sign Hoyer to a multi year deal.  Bring him in on a 1 year deal and cut him after Kelly's suspension is over.  I'm not saying Kelly is going to start right away but you would think they would use him as their backup.

I mean.....Kelly's better than Walker.

Heck yeah I would if I was a front office person or player. As a fan of this team I definitely do. I want to see this team still succeed despite Luck.

I know, at the time I was too lazy to see if either had signed yet with anyone.....lol

Ha ha ha...Kelly is better than Brissett.

He just doesn't have enough NFL experience.
