On adding QB Austin Davis to the 53-man roster, rather than a QB to the practice squad: “Austin (Davis) is a guy that his name has come up often. He’s played some quality minutes in this league. He does not have practice squad eligibility so the only way to get him was to put him on the 53. Also, given still the uncertainty, without going into detail, we feel good about where (QB) Johnny (Manziel) is, but it was an opportunity for us to added Austin and that was really the only way we could do it.”

i thought every one was wrong that said practice squad.

We upgraded the #3 QB spot. Good move I say.

He won't be the starter because the coaches and team have put their trust in McCown. Plus he needs time to learn the playbook.

That being said, he's instantly the best QB on our roster. Sad, but true.

Well, he's definitely at least the 3rd best QB we have ... well, maybe 4th depending on Pryor

But honestly, I don't mind this pick up


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

We used it on Hughes last year, and that was in late October. There were only 2 games left when he was eligible to return, IIRC.


Right. I'd rather wait to see if anyone gets hurt the first two weeks than use it on our fifth corner.

Love this board, how you can't see that this is a good move is beyond me. I guess you all would rather have Thad Lewis waiting in the wings huh?

Who said signing Davis wasn't a good thing?

It appears Austin Davis was not our first choice. We put a waiver claim in on Ryan Griffin (released by the Saints), but so did the Bucs and they have higher priority.
