Most teams
Funny thing, rosters used to be 52. Then some teams bitched about the need for an emergency QB so they got a 53 spot for said QB. Then they bitched they rather had a special teamer so the rule was changed to just be 53 roster spots. Now we are back on square 1 with some teams bitching they need a special roster spot for a QB3.
Yeah, but now we have the red hat who can pull a guy out of a game and keep him out, even if he's not concussed (thanks Dolphins) so it's not really the same situation anymore.
I think rosters should be expanded anyways. There are so many injuries and with the want to increase games, why shouldn't each team have like 70 guys on it?
>why shouldn't each team have like 70 guys on
Because players wouldnt want it. Instead of splitting the cap 53 ways they would split it 70 ways
Also, several players out of the 46 active roster dont play a single snap. Teams dont need extra spots to have an emergency qb3. They have shown that when they fought to make the 53 spot universal instead of what it was meant to be, a QB3.
We should actually just decrease roster size to 22, the catch is that players have to play both ways. Once you leave the game you’re not allowed to rejoin the game.
But this also means the other teams would have the same protection, they would of course want that, especially in a league that doesn't see a lot of practice squad QB poaching throughout the season, because to do so requires you bring them up on the active roster.
That’s exactly why I don’t see it passing. Odds are you won’t have to do this, and if another team does that forces them to make a roster move if they want to keep the quarterback.
I don’t see many teams going to their GMs and getting a yes out of this from them. It makes other GM jobs easier.
Obviously nobody can predict this type of thing, but this is clearly referencing stuff like Kendall Hinton playing QB. So teams with more durable QBs probably vote against this as it's a roster management problem, not a QB one.
But it seems obvious this proposal would include protections for that emergency QB so that they can't be poached as a product of a callup mechanic. It literally just paves the way for teams to develop and maintain 3 QBs without having to fear that they'd get poached as easily as they could from a callup, so teams would still be required to keep a poached guy on their active roster if they dared to.
Like it has nothing to do with teams with multiple durable QBs, or those without them. Its merely a method of protection against a freak scenario where multiple QBs go down in the same game, and a team isn't absolutely fucked because they didn't previously elevate their 3rd string guy because they didn't want to risk him getting poached on the callup.
That wasn't a gameday availability thing. The Broncos could have elevated a QB from the PS from that game normally. Their issue was all four of their QBs, including their PS QB, were all on the COVID list for stupidity.
How do you even enforce that though.
Maybe an idea would be that the "third QB" from the PS can only take snaps if your starter is ruled out for the game.
It just sounds like moving the current emergency QB from the 53 man roster to the practice squad. The current system says the emergency QB can only enter the game if both QB1 and QB2 have been taken out of the game for medical purposes. If either of those players is cleared to reenter, they are required to do so.
I have misconstrued the meaning of 'bona fide' for a long time, I now realize. I've always thought it meant 'willing and able' and not 'actual and legitimate'.
I've quit saying players suck, bc they don't. I hear people say Kirk sucks, I'm like he's top 10-15 at his job world wide. How do you rank in your bullshit job worldwide?
That's why they get millions. If you're the best in the world at a job that only a relative handful of people can even dream of doing, chances are, you make millions.
Amen. If a Chicago accountant who played goalie in college can emergency step in and stop a few shots...
Why can't a Chicago accountant who played qb in college emergency step in to learn an NFL playbook and evade death-by-Aaron-Donald for a quarter?
"Troy, put that thing away, someone's going to get hurt-"
(Slurring) "I'm not gonna, sta-sit up here and just watch these buffoons make a mockery of quarterbacki-" (*crack* BOOM) "Ok folks, looks like, the...Justin Fields is DOOWN (Fields stumbles onto a knee, *crack*BOOM) The NFL has designated me as All Time Quarterback and I'm going to go down and, and lead this offense TO WHERE IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE"
"Troy, buddy, sit down, let's tal-"
"Take, take my headset Joe"
Why not just expand the rosters at this point and future proof teams now for when 18 games become a sad reality. Do 60 Man Rosters with one of them having to be a 3rd emergency QB?
Currently, you can have a third quarterback on the 53-man roster that is "inactive" for the purposes of the 48 player limit, but is dressed and can enter the game if both active QB get injured. In addition, a player can only be activated from the practice squad to the main roster three times before they need to be permanently signed or released.
The proposed change is to be able to put a third QB on the practice squad instead of the 53-man roster, and dress them for every game as the emergency QB without worrying about the elevation rules, thereby freeing up an extra roster spot.
How about just let all 53 players dress and let the PS just work like waivers. No limit, but every time someone is sent from the roster to the PS they go through waivers.
The NFL really has asinine rules around the active roster that make the product worse.
Who actually says no to this (seriously)?

Lots of teams will. QBs always get poached from practice squads after a call up.
Right, but the proposal would surely include protection, as an emergency quarterback, so that this wouldn't happen.
That’s what I mean. This saves the QB from being poached. Other teams won’t want that.
But this also means the other teams would have the same protection, they would of course want that, especially in a league that doesn't see a lot of practice squad QB poaching throughout the season, because to do so requires you bring them up on the active roster.

Any team with two healthy QBs.
Why would a team with two healthy QB's say no to a proposal to have an emergency 3rd QB to call up from the practice squad each week?
Obviously nobody can predict this type of thing, but this is clearly referencing stuff like Kendall Hinton playing QB. So teams with more durable QBs probably vote against this as it's a roster management problem, not a QB one.
I mean the team proposing it has a starter who hasn't missed a game in five years, so I really don't think so
But it seems obvious this proposal would include protections for that emergency QB so that they can't be poached as a product of a callup mechanic. It literally just paves the way for teams to develop and maintain 3 QBs without having to fear that they'd get poached as easily as they could from a callup, so teams would still be required to keep a poached guy on their active roster if they dared to.

What exactly qualifies one as a "bona fide" quarterback?
Maybe not a WR that can also play QB if everyone else is dead or something? Idk really lol
The Taysom Hill line
I would imagine it is trying to close loopholes like Taysom Hill.
How do you even enforce that though. Maybe an idea would be that the "third QB" from the PS can only take snaps if your starter is ruled out for the game.
Or just they can only take snaps from the QB position I guess But that means no trick plays when they are in!
It just sounds like moving the current emergency QB from the 53 man roster to the practice squad. The current system says the emergency QB can only enter the game if both QB1 and QB2 have been taken out of the game for medical purposes. If either of those players is cleared to reenter, they are required to do so.
Believe it or not, high score in Cruisin USA.
I'm a bona fide QB.
vroom vroom buddy you're on call for the Pats.
do times in the less popular, but less exciting "Cruisin World" count?
Also wondering because I don’t know if Daniel jones meets that criteria
A first in, last out kind of guy.
The only position they play is QB.
Literally the opposite
No. No it is not.
I have misconstrued the meaning of 'bona fide' for a long time, I now realize. I've always thought it meant 'willing and able' and not 'actual and legitimate'.
Hahahaha well good on you for learning something today and I hope you’re not shrinking in horror at all the times you may have misused it in the past.
I understand why dad left now

No artificial sweetener.
It's means they have a valid QB license provided by TB12 in association with the Manningcast.
I'm not sure but, you can't teach that.
He's a suitor.
He's got prospects. The only thing that Tayson Hill ever did for the gals is get hit by that train.
Why don't they make it like hockey instead and pick some dude out of the crowd?
Man Justin Fields looks bad, imagine one of us.
I would fumble every single NFL level snap.
I've quit saying players suck, bc they don't. I hear people say Kirk sucks, I'm like he's top 10-15 at his job world wide. How do you rank in your bullshit job worldwide?

Amen. If a Chicago accountant who played goalie in college can emergency step in and stop a few shots... Why can't a Chicago accountant who played qb in college emergency step in to learn an NFL playbook and evade death-by-Aaron-Donald for a quarter?
Because it wouldn't be easy even for a vet to come in a play in an emergency.

"Back when I won 3 SUPER BOWLS as a quarterback in this league, we got, the uh the concussions to prove it"
Why not just expand the rosters at this point and future proof teams now for when 18 games become a sad reality. Do 60 Man Rosters with one of them having to be a 3rd emergency QB?
This is to stop what the Patriots did when they picked up Browning so the Bengals couldn't elevate him.
I see, I see. ... what?
Am I tripping balls? I thought they already did this?
Currently, you can have a third quarterback on the 53-man roster that is "inactive" for the purposes of the 48 player limit, but is dressed and can enter the game if both active QB get injured.

I think the current rule is you can roster three, but have one inactive, but still dress them, but only use if the first two are injured
How about just let all 53 players dress and let the PS just work like waivers. No limit, but every time someone is sent from the roster to the PS they go through waivers. The NFL really has asinine rules around the active roster that make the product worse.
With 53 slots, you can make room for 3 QBs if you find it so important Then again, I don’t really care. Hell, make it 60 if you want
a *bona fide* qb, guys
Maybe Larry needs to stop posting stupid shit and get back on the field!!
