Is it a given we are going to carry 3 QB's on our active roster?
 

I have seen a couple of NFL shows on TV where they were talking about teams 53 man rosters, and they have said more teams are going with only keeping 2 QB's on their active roster.

Last year in Green Bay, they only kept 2. Rodgers and Harrell.

I know there are a lot of Bray homers on this board, but given the direction the NFL seems to be going... and obviously Dorsey has already been part of an organization that has already done the same thing... is it a given we will keep 3 active? Or will we keep 2 and look for a practice squad 3rd string QB?

Yes

I think it'd be wise.

Alex takes a lot of sacks and Chase isn't that much of a QB...

QFT X 1,000,000

KC needs to keep 3 QBs on the active roster.

If we aren't gonna keep bray on the 53, I'd play him the whole game Thursday, then in about the 4th quarter, he'd get "injured" and I'd designate him to the injured list.

Wouldn't mess with the practice squad

It would be stupid as **** not to have 3 qbs on this team. They need to have developmental QBs on the roster every year and have a system in place to develop young QBs.

I didn't even know that this was questionable. I mean, they surely are carrying 3, right?

I'm not sure how they can't. Bray won't make it through waivers to the practice squad.

Kind of like what we did with Tannay last year.

I'm not sure. I know we have been conditioned to always having 3.

On games days though or 3rd stringer is usually inactive, IIRC. I could be wrong on that, but it seems to me that Stanzi was always inactive when Cassel was healthy.

I could see us going 2 active and having a practice squad QB, Bray or someone else.

There are teams out there that have deeper QB rosters than we do that are going to have to be released in all likelihood that will be snatched up to an active roster quicker than Bray would.

So I am not sure if we automatically go with 3 active. I tend to think we will, but won't be shocked if we don't either.

Just because we have 3 people listed as QBs doesn't mean we have 3 QBs. There is only one true QB on our roster and his name is Bray. GAY FOR BRAY WOOOOOOOO

If this happens, Bray couldn't practice at all for the entire season could he?

If you have a franchise type QB that does not get injured (i.e. Green Bay & Rodgers or NY Giants & Manning) you can get away with only carrying 2 QBs on your roster.

However if you have a starting QB with a history of injury (i.e. KC & Smith) or you have a front office that is overly invested in keeping the starting QB as the starting QB (i.e. KC & Cassel or KC & Grbac) you need to carry 3 QBs on the active roster.

Wasn't Stanzi inactive last season? Which meant we only had 2 QB's on game day.

If Smith were to go down, you bring up your practice squad guy the next week. :shrug:

He couldn't until week 6 when you decide what to do as far as taking him off it etc, but you could at least hide him until then.

He won't make it they waivers though so I'd say he's the 3rd qb one way or another
