Now my theory gets tested.

This was the Steelers QB Depth Chart in 2017: Ben Roethlisberger, Landry Jones, Joshua Dobbs.

This is the Steelers current QB Depth Chart: Mason Rudolph, Devlin Hodges, Paxton Lynch.

Jones is under contract with the XFL. Would be interesting to see if they would have signed LJ if he was a FA. But I think they prefer having a QB on the practice squad instead of the 53 at the moment.

Wonder if that is going become the new norm(two QB's) for the future.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the XFL contracts have a clause in them that releases them from the contract if they get an NFL deal.

The guy couldn't land a back up job on any of the other 31 teams in a quarterback hungry league. If we had resigned Jones my head would have exploded in frustration.

Neither could Lynch.

Based on what I've heard about him today, I'm not so sure about the exclamation point in the thread title.

Yeah, I think Lynch is basically a poor mans Brock Osweiller.

That is there because I am alone in the boat of fans actually excited to bring in Lynch. I watched him play at Memphis and have seen what a dynamic and clutch player he CAN be. Reports are he wows with physical ability but lacks drive to be the best QB he can be and maybe not smart enough to learn an NFL playbook yet. Plus he NEVER took snaps under center in college. Mayock and Charles Davis gushed over him at his pro day. The Broncos started him a few games in ‘16&’17 which ended in injury both years. I don’t know which truth will play out with him but I am excited the Steelers are giving him a shot. I think he can do well here.

He’s 6’7” mobile but not quick. The Seahawks went with Wilson and Geno so there’s a play type in Seattle that doesn’t fit Lynch’s strong points. I think he got injured in preseason too which didn’t help him. In Denver who has worked there? Following Elway, Cutler, Manning there’s a bit of a high standard most rookies just won’t meet. They have gone through a handful of possibles.

What an odd thing to say.

Chad Kelly got cut today. Steelers could sign him and then they would collect all of my recent "that guy might be good if he gets the right shot" QBs!

I think Chad Kelly is pretty much a lost soul right now. He’s got some crazy to work through.

I had no idea. What brand of foolishness is his particular jam?

SUPERBOWL!

At this point I think everyone has to acknowledge that any quarterback that wasn't currently under contract in the NFL isn't very good. I'm not excited about Lynch, but I wasn't going to be excited about anybody.

I'm fine with the team picking up Lynch, because they were picking the tastiest item they could find from the dumpster out back.

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-but I thought we could find a HOF'er in a grocery store in Iowa?

Nope, teams are scouting every grocery store in Iowa nowadays. Have to branch out and start scouring South Dakota to find the next one. Anyways, onto San Fran.

It's possible!

What is Jay Cutler up to and maybe he is bagging groceries. We should sign him too.

Is he not announcing this year? Man, he screwed up a good offer in broadcasting last year. I'd take Cutler over Lynch in a heartbeat.

[Six Rings]

This tells me they have zero confidence is Hodges, but hey it could have been Michael Vick.

[Hawkman]

An undrafted rookie QB, I think I’d want to add someone else. They did activate him to the 53 man roster.

[Born2Steel]

Tell me this guy doesn't remind you of early Big Ben...

Lynch's rookie season before he got injured. This reel ends with his pro day. Mike Mayock and Daniel Jeremiah(I think I said Charles Davis earlier) NFL arm, ability to scramble/extend the play, accurate passer.

The "can only throw 10 yards" comment is just plain silly.

For those that wonder if Lynch was selected too early. Here is the NFL Network calling Lynch a 1st round talent.

First game action ever for you all to critique.

I'm saying this guy has insane ability. Looks like a young Big Ben 2.0 at times.

Here's a cold weather game vs the Chiefs. Looks a lot like Mason Rudolph last week taking what the defense would give and just moving the chains.

not if you watched him play in the NFL ....

averages about 6 yards per drop back ( and that is after run after the catch is figured in too )

so the guy isnt completing passes downfield he is a checkdown artist

Try watching a game instead of just checking stats.

I could suggest the same ...... because I have watched it was not pretty nor fun hence why he was unemployed

Here is a link to some game highlights of Lynch.

He was released in 2018 after the Broncos acquired Kevin Hogan.

the tape speaks for itself ..1 pass over 10 yards ( 12 yards in air )

Just stop the ignorance. Post #31 has all the proof you need. Go. Now. Learn.
