The , like many teams this offseason, . The team tweeted out the new Brock Nelson Kids Jersey look on Patriots Day, and not everyone is loving them. The organization described the inspiration as, "Playing off the past, fit for the future." The look we love, promoted to primary. Order now: New England Patriots (@Patriots) Fans and almost always want more drastic changes than their favorite team is willing to make. Patriots fans are no exception, as they took to Twitter to complain about not getting what was on their wish list; white helmets, the old Pat Patriot logo and red jerseys.Sports fans aren't always easy to please. The Patriots rotated around a few looks from 1990-1999, but stayed with one primary uniform from 2000-2019, the dynasty years.The new look comes as a new era, one without , begins. Patriots loyals were hoping for something to be excited over, after a , but they don't seem to be getting that in the uniforms. Here is what people are saying about it all:Most are calling this a "mi sed opportunity" to bring back Pat Patriot on the uniform, a fan favorite Leo Komarov Kids Jersey look. Mi sed opportunity to reintroduce the pat patriot helmet. Just update the blue to match the unis and throw in some white pants, and perfection Joseph McCarthy, Jr. (@JMcCarthy86) Do I spy the Patriots finding their way around the rulebook? Hey, it doesn't say they NEED to have numbers on the shoulders.No #UniformGate here. According to the NFL Rule Book: "Smaller numerals should be worn on the tops of the shoulders or upper arms of the jersey."The word 'should' isn't exactly definitive, so here we are. I'm sure this will annoy a certain group of people in the best po sible way Alex Barth (@RealAlexBarth) Good to see fans moving past the Brady news... oh wait. No silver pants = should've dropped the silver helmet/silver number accent.White helmet would've looked 100x better with these uniforms (and allowed for the occasional Pat Patriot swap).Red overload on the away shoulders also a mi s.Who cares, though...you let Brady walk. Dustin Wood (@_dustinwood) If there's Thomas Hickey Men Jersey one thing sports fans love, it's throwbacks. Are you kidding me? I never liked the color rush look and it thought we were getting royal blue or pat patriot throwbacks Jitesh Ramakrishnan (@Jitesh121187) These fans got Pat Patriot trending on Twitter on Monday. Where is Pat Patriot. Throw that logo on the helmet and you have the best uniform in the Denis Potvin Men Jersey NFL Alex Anthony (@AlexAnthonyBand) Speak of the devil, here comes Pat. The mascot will also be adopting the look. Fresh new look for 2020. Pat Patriot (@PatPatriot) Fans wanted the white helmet so the old logo and red jersey, like the photo below, could be used as an alternate. The rules state you can't switch helmet colors in the season, so silver it is for now. Fresh new look for 2020. Pat Patriot (@PatPatriot) Well, bad. Those shoulder stripes look TERRIBLE. Looks like a create-a-team from Madden or something. They mi sed an opportunity to go back to the "Pat Patriot" days. Not bad, but still really bad. Christian Jacobs (@PPerfect_CJ) All hope is not lost though, as the website has the red jerseys listed as an alternative, so a white Pat Patriot helmet could happen eventually. Home run on these, especially the reds with the ability to wear the white Pat Patriot helmet Hallsy19 (@Hallsy19) The team says soon they will reveal another Shane Prince Men Jersey look to throw into the mix, and I have a feeling it will happen when the league gets rid of the one helmet color per year rule."Our primary uniforms in the modern era have been blue and white and they will remain so," Jen Ferron, CMO of Kraft Sports and Entertainment . "We recognize that fans also have an affinity for the red 'throwback' uniform and we hope to incorporate that into our uniform rotation in the future." So you're saying there's a chance...

made history during the ' 24-10 win over the Washington Football Teams. On a 5-yard reception during Minnesota Wild Jersey the first half of Sunday's game, the Packers' four-time Pro Bowl receiver pa sed Sterling Sharpe for second in franchise history in career receptions. Adams started the game three receptions behind Sharpe, who caught 595 pa ses during his seven years in Green Bay. Adams finished the day with 598 catches after hauling in six pa ses for 76 yards that included his 17-yard touchdown on the game's opening drive. 17 for 17 yards! TOUCHDOWN! | FOX Green Bay Packers (@packers) Donald Driver sits atop Green Bay's all-time list with 743 receptions. The player Adams pa sed on Sunday was one of the Josh Archibald Youth Jersey best receivers of his era. A five-time Pro Bowler and three-time Carson Soucy Jersey All-Pro, Sharpe led the in receptions three times, touchdown receptions on two occasions and in receiving yards in 1992. In 1992, Brett Favre's first season in Green Bay, Sharpe led the NFL in receptions (108), receiving yards (1,461) and touchdown receptions (13). Green Bay fans fondly remember Sharpe's three touchdown catches -- including a game-winning, 40-yarder from Favre -- during the Packers' win over the in the 1993 NFC wild card round, the Packers' first playoff win in 11 years.Adams is 155 receptions away from Driver. A three-time Pro Vince Dunn Women Jersey Bowler, Driver was an integral member of Green Bay's 2010 championship team. Driver is also Green Bay's career leader with 10,137 receiving yards.Adams, whose favorite receivers growing up included Randy Mo s and Terrell Owens, is trying to help the Packers advance to their first since Green Bay defeated Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV. Individually, he has set his sights on NFL immortality. "I want to be in the Hall of Fame," during the offseason. "I want to Devin Shore Jersey go down as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, receiver of my era"

needs a new old Dewan Hernandez Jersey helmet. As he tweeted on Tuesday afternoon, if you can find him the new old helmet he needs, he's willing to make a trade with you. He'll give you a signed helmet that he wore in practice. "I'm looking for a Schutt Air Advantage Adult Large Helmet that was manufactured in 2010 or after. In exchange I will trade a signed practice worn helmet." AB (@AB84) Which, on the surface, seems pretty cool. helmets are always great additions to the office, and if you're a Raiders fan, it's even better.But you know what? It's a horrible deal.Do not forget that last week, when news first started surfacing about Brown's i sues with the league over his helmet, he threatened to retire if he wasn't allowed to play with the same helmet he's always worn. That means Brown was willing to give up the $30.125 million that's guaranteed in his new contract with the Raiders. So, if Brown was willing to give up $30 million last week, I would think he'd be willing Jimmy Graham Jersey to give up more this week than just a signed helmet.So if you have what he needs, negotiate wisely.All odds via William Hill. 1. at : Mets +134The Mets have finally started to lose again, dropping their last two, but I like this matchup for them at this price. is starting for the Braves, and he's been pretty ordinary since joining their rotation. His ERA is at 4.83, and his strikeout rate is 22 percent below league average for starters. Also, while he's still elite at getting batters to hit the ball on the ground, he's proven to be homer prone as well. So when he is giving up fly balls, Ed Reed Jersey he's giving up hard-hit ones. Plus, the Braves' bullpen has been a tire fire of late. It has an ERA of 6.99 over the last 30 days, which is the worst in MLB in that period. I think the Mets win this game often enough to justify taking them here.2. at : Angels -124I still believe that a good pitcher resides inside Sam Waardenburg Jersey . The problem is that he pitches for an organization who found succe s pitching a certain way a couple of years ago, and seems unwilling to change its approach despite changes in the game since then. And Archer is suffering for it. Now, some of that is on him. He still walks way too many hitters, and he's facing a team here that strikes out le s often than any other team in baseball. I think he's going to give up two long balls tonight at a minimum. Take the Halos at home. 3. Connecticut Sun at Phoenix Mercury: Under 154This is a matchup of two of the better offenses in the Zach Johnson Jersey WNBA, and I think that's led to an inflated total here. The line opened at 151.5 and has been bet up to 154. I think that's too high. While the Mercury are the second-most efficient offense in the league, they also move at the second-slowest pace in the league. As dogs at home against a better team, I expect they'll try to slow the game down even more tonight in an attempt to limit Connecticut's po se sions, which should depre s scoring even more.

The 2017 NFL Scouting Combine takes place from February 28 through March 6, and a few days later, the leagues annual free agency period kicks off. Players will see their stock change dramatically based on how they test and interview at the combine, and team needs will shift as they sign and trade players. Everyone likes to say that they take the best player available no matter what, but we know that isnt true.So in all likelihood, were all going to have to blow up our mock drafts several times over the next few weeks. But that doesnt mean its not worth checking in on where things stand as of now. This is Mock Draft 2.0.1. , DE/OLB, Texas A&M:Its difficult to imagine this particular pick changing between now and draft day. Garrett is the best player in the draft, and the Browns badly need an injection of talent at a premier position.2. , QB, North Carolina: Kyle Shanahans team has a lot of needs, but his offense wont work without the right kind of signal-caller under center. Trubisky doesnt Brad Kaaya Jersey have a ton of experience, but hes accurate, he moves well in the pocket and he showed at North Carolina that he can manipulate the defense and make the right throws. 3. , DL, : We had in this spot last week, but with the Bears emerging as heavy betting-market favorites to land , were pivoting and giving them some badly-needed help along the defensive front this week. 4. , DE, : Adding a two-way defensive end to an already improving front group would help the Jaguars finally take that elusive next step.5. (from Los Angeles) , SS, :Tenne sees secondary badly needs help, both in coverage and in coming up to play the run. Adams makes plays all over the field. 6. , CB, OhioState:Whether or not is back in New York, the Jets need to add a corner. Lattimore is the best in the draft at that position, and the Jets are in a good spot to nab him.7. , FS, : If the Chargers retain in free agency, get healthy again, and draft Hooker, they can sneak up on people with one of the best defenses in the league next season.8. , RB, :Im not all that enthused about high-pick running backs ( notwithstanding), but theres enough buzz Willie Herenton Jersey around this fit that it makes sense to go running back here. I just wanted to see Cam and Fournette run poeple over anyway. 9. , LB, Alabama: The Bengals can upgrade the middle of their defense by replacing with Foster, making them more athletic and better helping them defend the run and the pa s.10. , QB, : There have been rumblings that the Bills might surprisingly retain , but until the drop-dead date pa ses and they go through with guaranteeing him $30.75 million, were sticking with Watson in this spot.11. , CB, : The Saints will almost definitely get mocked a defensive player by pretty much Miami Hurricanes Jersey everyone. Its just a matter of at what level that player resides. This week, they snag Tabor for some help on the back end. 12. Cleveland Browns (from Philadelphia)DeShone Kizer, QB, : With Kizer falling out of the top 10 this week, the Browns pull the trigger on a QB. Hue Jackson has worked with le s talented pa sers in the past and gotten a lot out of them.13. , WR, : New week, same pick, same reasoning: is already gone. is back for one more year, but might retire at the end of the season. is great when hes on the field, but hes small and slight and the Cardinals dont yet know how his sickle-cell trait will affect his play. is a burner but hasnt shown much else yet. If the Cards can add the drafts top receiver at No. 13, thats a great get.14. *Indianapolis , RB, :Its about time the Colts add some explosion next to in the backfield. Cook can not only take some offense-carrying pre sure off Luck by working well in the run game, but can contribute as a pa s-catcher as well. 15. *Philadelphia (from Minnesota) , WR, : The best way to ensure that a young quarterback has succe s is by putting him in position to succeed, both with scheme and surrounding talent. The Eagles schemed well for last season and they have a solid offensive line. They badly need to upgrade Wentzs receiving corps.16. , TE,Alabama: Baltimore has cycled through a lot of different tight ends during the John Harbaugh era, but none have been nearly as talented as Howard. Making this pick would give a rare pa sing-game weapon of the kind hes never really had.17. , OLB, : We had here last week but with his looming surgery and Washingtons dire need for help against the run, were pivoting to Cunningham, the SECs leading tackler in 2016. 18. , CB,Florida:One of the Duke Johnson Jersey most prudent things the Titans can do is double-dip in the secondary and upgrade the teams worst unit. They could add a piece in free agency and it would still be a good idea. Wilson would be a nice addition to a sagging group of corners.19. , WR, : The Bucs Rodney Miller Jr. Jersey have had a thing for bigger wideouts with and playing acro s from each other, but adding some balance with a speed guy like Ro s could give their offense a different dimension.20. , OT, : has already been let go. The Broncos need a replacement. Ramczyk makes perfect sense here. 21. , DE, :When you sack the quarterback only 26 times in a season, its safe to say you need help getting after the pa ser. Barnett consistently put the quarterback on the ground during his time at Tenne see and would be a great fit. 22.David Njoku, TE,Miami: The Dolphins just traded for , so this pick might not seem to make much sense on the surface, but remember that: a) Thomas has played just 57 of a po sible 96 games in his career; b) Thomas has zero guaranteed money on his contract beyond the 2017 season; and c) Adam Gase likes two-TE sets. Pa sing on a player like Njoku just because Thomas is on the roster now isnt a prudent move.23. , OT,Alabama:There may be no grea

The undefeated have been the talk of the through the early portion of the 2022 regular season, and it's in large part because of the several impactful moves they made in the offseason. The Eagles apparently aren't done adding to their roster, however, as the team Wednesday that they have traded a fourth-round pick to the in exchange for defensive end .The pa s-rusher has recorded eight combined tackles and one sack through seven games played. While Quinn is 32-years-old, he has still been an impactful player. Just last season, he recorded 18.5 sacks in 16 games played, and was named to the Pro Bowl as well as given All-Pro honors.The former No. 14 overall pick was selected by the St. James Harden Jersey Louis out of North Carolina in 2011. Quinn recorded double-digit sack numbers in three of his first four NFL seasons, including a career-high 19 sacks in 2013. This is not the first time Quinn has been traded, as he was dealt to the in 2018, and to the in 2019. After those two one-year stints, Quinn signed with the Bears ahead of the 2020 season.

He has two years remaining on his five-year, $70 million deal, and Philly takes over non-guaranteed base salaries of $14M in 2023 and $13M in 2024. Philly currently has and at defensive end, and the two have combined for 5.5 sacks in six games played. Quinn will fit right in on this talented defense. Here's how we grade this trade:Eagles: A-Go off, Howie Roseman. This move shows that the Eagles are all-in on winning a . Remember how the Rams added at the trade deadline last year? Not that Quinn is Miller, but this move is similar. It could be Kyle Feit Jersey something that further sparks a talented defense to be even better as Philly hits the ground ready to run following its bye week. Quinn ain't a spring chicken, but he showed last year he's still an impactful player.Philly gets an experienced pa s-rusher it can move around with Graham and Sweat. A fourth-rounder is a pretty decent price to pay for a 32-year-old, but it's nice that the Bears will pay $7.1 million of Quinn's remaining base salary this year. Bears: B-With this move, it looks like the Bears will be putting more on the plates of and . The Bears wereQuinn around this month as the trade deadline approached, and they found a willing partner in the Eagles.

The Bears are currently in Duke Thomas Jersey the top 10 of most available cap space with $6.69 million, . Quinn was a good player, but maybe one of these younger guys can be a solid starter at defensive end.

is spending his first NFL training camp trying to do all he can Marlon Mack Jersey to win the starting quarterback job in Cleveland. He's shown flashes of the talent that helped him get selected with the top overall pick in this year's draft, but don't let that distract you from the fact that he's also showcasing a personality that's worthy of bright lights. More on the Browns If you followed his college days or have watched him on HBO's "Hard Knocks" this year, you know he's got a bold personality to go along with that impre sive arm. He doesn't seem afraid to use either of them early on his career.He seems to be settling in to his spot in Cleveland, enough to deliver an outstanding impersonation of the man who drafted him, general Roy Lopez Jersey manager John Dorsey. The team's official Twitter account shared a video of Mayfield giving his best Dorsey impre sion on Tuesday and it's well worth a watch. John Dorsey had a special me sage at our Rookie Show: Cleveland Browns (@Browns) Mayfield hits on a number of Dorsey's mannerisms -- most notably the violent gum-chewing -- but he's also shown a commendable level of commitment to rounding out Christian Kirksey Jersey the impre sion by nailing his fashion tendencies as well. Mayfield puts together the perfect ensemble with Dorsey's dad hat, the cla sic crewneck sweatshirt with a collared shirt underneath and the clean, mean Nike dad shoes, or "Air Dorseys" as Mayfield calls them, to bring it all together. Cleveland Browns (@Browns) He even perfected Dorsey's walk. Cc: Cleveland Browns (@Browns) That right there is the sort of attention to detail and awarene s you want from a franchise quarterback.And when Mayfield isn't pretending to be someone else, he's making moves to grow his Pharaoh Brown Jersey own brand. This week he announced a partnership with an underwear company and found Ross Blacklock Jersey a fantastic way to do it -- by posing shirtle s alongside a Rolls Royce and an actual live tiger. It's the same tiger that received critical acclaim in a supporting role in 'The Hangover' film franchise. Baker Mayfields marketing agent says that not only is Tiger real. Its actually THE Tiger from The Hangover. Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) Star, meet star. If nothing else, Mayfield is making himself very, very difficult to ignore.

is a special kind of player. He's so explosive, so efficient, so versatile that he just might be among the very best in the league at two different positions. DaeSean Hamilton Jersey Earlier this season, Samuel was excelling like few others in the as a wide receiver. Through the first 10 weeks of the year, Samuel ranked second in the NFL in receiving yards, behind only . He also led the entire league in yards per route run during that time, and he led all non-running backs in yards after catch per reception.With starting running back mi sing three of the team's last five games, though, Samuel has been splitting his time between receiver and running back. Not just taking handoffs on Tyrod Taylor Jersey jet sweeps and end-arounds. Actually playing running back. And he's been so good at it that he's setting a bunch of records. Samuel scored on a 10-yard run against the on Sunday. Incredibly, that marked Samuel's rushing touchdown this season. Weekly rushing TD from DEEEEEBO. : on CBS: NFL app Garret Wallow Jersey NFL (@NFL) According to ESPN's Stats & Information department, that is already the scored in a single season during the era by a player who was primarily a wide receiver. The previous high-water mark was just five. Sunday's game against Atlanta was also Samuel's fifth consecutive contest with a rushing score -- the longest streak by a wide receiver during the Super Bowl era. The previous longest streak was just two games. What's perhaps most impre sive about what Samuel is doing is that he's doing it on rather limited Laremy Tunsil Jersey volume. He has aligned in the backfield on only 6.5% of his snaps, according to TruMedia. His season high Deshaun Watson Hoodies Sweatshirts in carries in a game is only eight and he has just 37 carries on the year (with the game against Cincinnati currently in the fourth quarter). That means he's scored on just about one out of every five rushing attempts, which is an outrageous rate of finding the end zone. And he's still got three games left to add to his already record-breaking total.

Some big names around the NFL, like III and Jr., are holding out of training camp after failing to strike new contracts with their respective teams. The , meanwhile, are e sentially holding their own big name out of practice. Coach Brandon Staley that All-Pro safety will not be a full participant in camp until both sides agree to a long-term deal. And the team is OK with that, signaling that an extension is on the horizon."We're working through his contract situation, just DeVonta Smith Jersey making sure that gets situated here," Staley said. "He's out here doing all the walk-throughs, he's gonna be working out, but he won Brian Dawkins T Shirts 't be going full speed until that gets situated. ... (We've) got full respect for Derwin, his agent ... and I think there's full respect on both sides. They know how much we love Derwin, Derwin knows how much we love him, and we're just working through that proce s right now."Staley wouldn't put a timetable on contract negotiations, but he didn't expre s concern over James' availability."We're gonna let it take shape, and when it does, he'll be out there playing," Staley said, before adding that the Pro Bowler is physically prepared to play. "(He's) 100% Philadelphia Eagles Sleepwear Underwear cleared. Derwin's ready to go. He will be out there." LAC FS #3 James underwent shoulder surgery early this offseason, so there had been some speculation about his readine s entering camp. The 25-year-old former first-round draft pick is notably approaching the final season of his rookie contract, and he's set to play under a fifth-year option that'll pay him a guaranteed $9 million in 2022.The ' recently reset the safety market with a lucrative extension averaging over $18M Andre Dillard Jersey per year. Considering James' resume, he's likely to net at least $14M per season on a long-term deal -- the equivalent of what , this year's top free agent safety, got on the open market. James has battled multiple injuries in his young career, playing just five games from 2019-2020 due to a torn meniscus and stre s fracture in his foot. When healthy, however, he's been one of the 's top playmakers at the position. As a rookie, he earned All-Pro honors for totaling 105 tackles, 3.5 sacks and three interceptions. Last season, in 15 games, James re-emerged as a star, this time for Staley's defense Rick Lovato Jersey , with 118 tackles, two sacks, two picks and three forced fumbles.

quarterback may have felt like the world was at his fingertips following a rookie season in which he made a strong case Genard Avery Jersey for Rookie of the Year honors. Mayfield and the Browns were in the media constantly last off-season. His sophomore campaign was a humbling experience, however. Now, entering an all-important Year 3, the Oklahoma product is relatively under-the-radar and embracing a much softer approach to regular season preparation."I have a different approach to this year. I think everybody who has been interviewed on our team has hit the nail on the head over and over about it is time to work. It is time to do our thing, instead of talking about it," Mayfield explained during a conference call with media Wednesday. "This is the first media thing I have done just because there is no need to be talking about it. It is just time to go do it. Right now, it is kind of moving in silence, which is fine with me. That is how I used to do it before getting on a bigger stage so I am happy to get back to those roots and like I said earlier, get back to the fundamentals to where I can accomplish the goals when the season comes around." COVID-19 and the corresponding Avonte Maddox Jersey quarantine has been the great equalizer because everyone is dealing with the same circumstances. Cleveland's quarterback has found himself going back to the basics."There has been a lot of learning throughout this proce s. During all this, it has kind of made everybody go back to the just shear fundamentals. You can't do so many complex drills and all the stuff you might and everybody might not have the same equipment, but we can teach the very base fundamentals of what this new coaching staff wants to do and go from there. I think that has been the best thing is e sentially just getting back to the basics." Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt had previously worked with and . The coach made a small change -- left foot forward -- to their shotgun stances and is asking the same of his Philadelphia Eagles Pet Gear new signal caller. Mayfield finally had a chance to create some muscle memory this month when nine teammates joined him in Texas for workouts.Head coach Kevin Stefanski will likely be robbed of the opportunity to get some additional work with his team; an allowance granted to first year head coaches. Mayfield acknowledged that the coach has done a wonderful job of engaging players during uncertain times."Kevin is obviously an extremely sharp guy. He is able to relate to everybody. That is one of the best parts about him and being around him so far. Just hearing his me sage, everything he does is with a purpose," Mayfield explained. "It is a very deliberate me sage, and he has everybody believing in that on the staff. I think that is how the foundation should be set, and he has done an unbelievable job of that. Scheme wise with him establishing the run, everything he did in Minnesota and what that does for the rest of the game and opening it up in the play action, the pa s game and also just controlling the clock, they were a very efficient team for the last few years. That is kudos to him." The anticipated implementation of a wide zone blocking offense should suit the personnel of Anthony Harris Jersey the AFC North franchise. The Browns have a strong run game with and as well as a quarterback that operates most efficiently in play-action."I think it matches up very nicely with being in control, getting checks in the run game and just being efficient. Last year, I know, was not a great year for turnovers, but I have always prided myself on not turning the ball over. That is something in the conversations we have had is where we do take our shots, it has to be smart decisions and there is nothing wrong with throwing an incompletion every once in a while. Scheme wise, I think my skillset matches up to that very well and also how he is coaching it. I think it is going to be a great fit." It is unknown when organized team activities will return but there are more important considerations. Until told otherwise, Mayfield is readying to play the in Week 1. "I am expecting to have a full season to be quite honest with you. I don't know if we will have anything in the offseason. I know there are rumors going around about a po Lane Johnson Jersey sible minicamp or things like that. I am staying optimistic because the world needs sports. We need to be safe with that in mind, but I think hopefully soon it will start to open up and we will have football back again," he finished.In 2019, Mayfield completed 317 of 534 pa ses (59.4-percent) for 3,827 yards, 22 touchdowns and 21 interceptions. His completion percentage and touchdowns were down and interceptions were up. He also took 15 more sacks than the prior year.

Quarterbacks are always the talk of the NFL, and this year, there is no shortage of star power at the position. Consider just the , a crop headlined by the agele s but chock-full of young, ascending play-makers. But what happens when the big names go down? Injuries take their toll every year, and unfortunately, that includes the QB position.But which teams are best prepared to weather a lo s under center? Here's a look at the best backups in the league:We're ranking recent high draft picks (since 2020) separate from the rest, only because they differ so much from career No. 2s. For example, if our starter went down, we might rather gamble on upside than, say, experience. But we might also prefer the proven vet for a single important start or two. So here's how we'd rank the youngsters:5. ( )It may be Darius Slayton Jersey a challenge to separate him from the Falcons' rebuilding lineup. Will his confidence translate into consistency? 4. Jordan Love ( )We've seen just one real game from him, and he's still developing his vision, but at 23, with good size and a legitimate arm, we still like his potential as a big-play pa ser.3. ( )Like Love, he's almost a total unknown, but he also po se ses some freakish athletic qualities. In his case, it's not only the laser arm but the electric legs. In a pinch, those kinds of gifts can mask other flaws. There are quite a few similarities between his situation and that of Trey Lance behind Jimmy Garoppolo with the 49ers in 2021.2. ( )He's widely considered more of a safe than special prospect, but the guy did a lot of the little things well in and around the pocket at Pittsburgh, and his preseason composure makes him a candidate to take over for Mitchell Trubisky as Ben Roethlisberger's succe sor sooner rather than later. 1. ( )No, he's not , but he's a perfect substitute in Baltimore, where he's shown in limited sample sizes that he can throw confidently and create space on the ground. It Lawrence Taylor Jersey 's not such a bad thing to have an as your emergency fill-in.10. Colt McCoy (Cardinals)You don't want him in the lineup for an extended stretch, but he's grown a bit more efficient and, dare we say, comfortable moving around the pocket into his 30s. Arizona fared decently well without Kyler Murray during his 2021 action Jerrel Jernigan Jersey .9. Tyrod Taylor (Giants)New York is overpaying considering he's struggled to even stay healthy coming off the bench in recent years, and he's not particularly accurate despite a tendency for short-area pa sing. Still, he's been a serviceable starter before, and he can move. 8. Andy Dalton ( )He hasn't posted a winning record as a QB in . He still throws a lot of picks despite an increasingly "safe" approach. But you also can't teach 148 games of starting experience, and he's proven he can be OK with talent around him.7. ( )Technically he'll enter 2022 as a starter with Deshaun Watson suspended, but he'll revert to the No. 2 spot as soon as Watson is back. Like Taylor and Dalton, he's somehow managed to be both conservative and relatively inefficient during extended action. But he's adapted quickly in sudden career changes and shown, with the , he can be borderline playoff-caliber with good support.6. ( )Keenum gets himself into trouble with his gunslinging style, but he also extends plays and wins over teammates the same way. A true journeyman after starting runs in Minnesota and Denver, he would've been a higher-upside backup plan for the 2022 Browns, who opted instead for Bri sett as Watson's suspension substitute. 5. ( )Washington got the total Heinicke experience in 2022: energetic, exciting and mercurial. He's best suited for a run-heavy or short-area attack, but his moxie, mobility and willingne s to try big throws make him one of the more enticing emergency starters.4. ( )The size and arm power might never be there, but this guy is a prototypical No. 2, oozing swagger, flashing athleticism and touting pretty Dexter Lawrence Jersey downfield touch. In 27 career games with rebuilding Eagles and teams, he's thrown 42 touchdowns to just 12 picks.3. (Colts)His disappearing act in 2021 is an indictment of the , who preferred the pricier Andy Dalton as ' predece sor. Foles and his big arm are volatile, and he needs protection up front. But few backup QBs have been more calm, collected and willing to make tight-window throws in crunch time when called upon. 2. ( )He's never been more than a serviceable full-timer, offering a steady hand over big-time throws. But he's well-liked, generally accurate, mostly avoids killer turnovers and has guided several winning streaks in talented lineups. Most teams would love to have him in their locker rooms, so long as he's only stepping in under center for a select number of games.1. Jimmy Garoppolo ( )Jimmy G has so far maxed out as a mid-tier starter, thriving more when the burden is not on his arm but rather on the system in which he plays point guard. He's also really struggled to stay healthy. And yet, at his best, he's a prototypical pocket pa ser who can make all the throws with deep playoff experience. Odds are, he Blake Martinez Jersey 'll still start somewhere, for some amount of time, in 2022.These guys make up the majority of the backup QBs in the and, to be frank, aren't separated by much. Sure, you can make the case for one over the other, but at the end of the day, you're especially hopeful they don't have to see extended action. They are listed roughly in order of preference: Drew Lock/Geno Smith ( ), Sam Darnold (Panthers), ( ), Joe Flacco (Jets), ( ), Nick Mullens (Vikings), (Jaguars), ( ), Josh Johnson( ), ( ), ( ), (Bears), ( ), ( ), ( ), ( ), Tim Boyle( )
