Rams Cuts Begin

[blackbart]

Any player likely to take the 53rd roster spot instead of him is just as likely to be inactive on game days just like Perkins. In the COVID world it’s so much smarter to have a QB3 that a WR6 or DL6 for example.

I might buy that with Harris available to take some of those WR6 snaps. If they get passed Wolford it doesn’t matter who is taking snaps.

 

[blackbart]

Yeah it’s funny, fans of other teams including Denver fans seemed to be very impressed with him.

Was it all the numbers he put on the scoreboard?

Assessing which teams are best suited at the No. 2 QB spot

I wouldn't be so sure. Plus Tim Boyle on this list just got hurt.

I'm just a fan with no info into the league. The team usually knows best.

His play against their first team defense seems to be impressive. It’s comical though you say numbers on the scoreboard when Wolford has been annointed a viable qb2 and good in spite of not putting numbers on the board and a habit of getting hurt.

I would think that our #2 QB availability status as of late last season & what occurred to him in preseason......along with the fact the Rams now have a veteran QB who has had a lot of past injuries.......If I were Snead I would keep Perkins as my 3rd QB too over soft turnstile OL'er Bobby Evans anytime.

I’d rather keep Hekk as #3 at least he has game experience

And, with Perkins at QB we aren’t winning any games.

Not even close to the same situation

Perkins is nothing but a very safe insurance policy stop-gap moment in time QB. Perkins will never win you any games. He will get you a few first downs running though. He does not have an NFL-caliber arm to make those big tight throws or go deep. His long ball throws remind me of Goff's.

Yeah Perkins didn’t put up TDS playing with 2nd and 3rd team offense against Denver. Wolford failed with Akers, Woods and Kupp along with Whit and the boys in front of him. Wolford looks bad when you put the surrou cast in to the picture and Denver’s D is much better than Arizona and even Seattle.

Will be curious to see how many teams keep 3 QBs. With the caveat that one isn't a drafted rookie.

Edit: Atlanta is already at 53 and have Ryan, Rosen and Franks.

I was not impressed, especially the last game. He’s elusive but depends on that too much. His throws were soft and late. I know he was not with the 1s but that isn’t going to help his throws.

I respectfully disagree....as much as I like and appreciate Wolford, IMO, Perkins may well have more upside over time. I'm admittedly surprised they went initially with 3 QB's, but delighted if true.

 

[FrantikRam]

First semi surprise

Not a surprise to me at all. Snead said that 49-53 is an extension of the practice squad - so it stands to reason that their five priority PS players would be in those spots.

This is kind of my thought and I said it a couple times before. If you have Wolfy as your #2, I kind of think you have to carry a third on your roster.

It’s all good but neither of them has a ceiling above QB2. We’ll have to see who else gets cut before knowing who else might have been developed into a real contributor.

With two QBs, Hekker was the #3 by default.

Throwing a few passes out of a punt formation is hardly 'game experience'.

 

[Merlin]

I also think a lot of the arm complaints will change with more knowledge of the system. He was late with a lot of throws because of it.

Yes he was definitely late on a lot of throws. Guy has a lot of questions no doubt. But I am happy they made room for him.

Should know within the hour

 

[Merlin]

Would not surprise me if some team claims Banks. He did some nice stuff this preseason wish him well.

 

[Faceplant]

Maybe Perkins is trade bait...

Only a couple so far today. But right now the reporters are counting heads and comparing who's there and not there vs rosters so we should have info here real soon.
