X factor signed to practice squad

[Shane Falco]

Steelers signed a secret weapon to practice squad. Trace McSorley. Someone call Canton and reserve his spot

Wow. Not sure how to react to this.

 

[Troglodyte]

I loved McSorely at Penn State.

 

[Misstha70’s]

They also signed Booger Smoots......

 

[madinsomniac]

They needed a temporary emergency qb and he has experience and is local… seems Ideal

 

[Buster]

Could be as good as any on our roster.

I think he's better. Wasn't he the mop up QB for the Ravens when they beat us a couple years ago - I think he led them to a TD.

This move just goes to show that they are real tight to the cap and can not afford anything better. This in my opinion is why you do not continuously populate your team with top dollar contracts.

******* Super Bowl!!! For someone, this dude still won’t be playing

 

[Roy92040]

We definitely need a secret weapon all right

Was it just a one-night stand?

Or possibly goes to show that any half decent quarterback is already on a roster. Don't forget he is effectively the number four quarterback and only there to make up the numbers as an emergency backstop in case of another QB injury until Pickett is back, so spending significant money on the position is not a sensible allocation.

You also can't not spend on getting quality players, just so you can go four deep at a position just in case the unexpected happens.

Obviously, …….. for one side, it was…………….

Sure, I get what you are saying, I just have a different philosophy on how to approach financial matters on fielding a team.

In the field of professional football, “unexpected” almost always happens eventually. I prefer to take a more conservative approach that you appear to. Nothing wrong with that, just different.

McSorley only did one thing at Penn State, win. I'm not saying it will translate to the NFL, but I always liked the guy, he's a baller.

He is McSorely needed....

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Why not sign Tyler Palko instead? NFL experience. Flacco is playing in Cleveland... so

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

never mind he lives in kansas now
