Tim Byerly

If there's one thing Stingtalk is good at, it is scouting out QB's.

We're on the high wire without a net now, alright ... :turbonoes:

Here are all of Swilling's snaps in the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iPrAvPttmo

Not sure that he made all of the right reads. Didn't seem to have many reads at all actually (QB keeps, draw, rocket toss, etc.). Looked to me like he made a bad read on his first play and mishandled two snaps. Not trying to knock him but losing Tim is a big, big deal.

Losing Tim is like taking the training wheels off of the bike. He was a security blanket. It's not like we were running a 2 QB system by any means. Tim was great and it sucks to lose him, but it is not a big big deal. It's just something to deal with.

Losing Justin Thomas AND Tim Byerly is a big, big deal. But I believe our Offensive Line starters can do a better job for the QB than the 3rd stringers did for Swilling.

I hear Tim Tebow is looking for a team

Also hope Swilling isn't such a ball hog when there are more potent weapons around him.

Looked to me like he was scared to death to pitch it. There were practically no reads there.

Or he was told not to.

About 99% of all players will look slow when compared to Justin Thomas.

I didn't know they played football. When did this happen? Didn't we used to regularly scrimmage against their equestrian team?

He looked slow compared to the players on the field. No one was comparing him to JT.

FWIW, I don't think there is any chance that Swilling would be the backup QB if Byerly is out for the season. Most likely it would be Jordan, and then Martenson (if healthy). Swilling got playing time on Thursday, because Jordan was playing AB and Martenson was injured.

I recall a third string freshman QB being forced into service against ND and doing fairly well.

Didn't throw a single pass that day...

 

[gtzulu]

Won't play Saturday, possible to return later

 

[JJacket]

When is depth chart out?

 

[gtzulu]

Jordan will be #2 per Johnson

Not sure I'd trust him over a message board poster, but CPJ said it -- audio link

Have seen both "knee sprain" and "torn ACL". Then there are different severities of ACL tear, right. Could be partial or complete. I don't know if it is possible to recover from any ACL tear without surgery.

Actually he was not all that optimistic. Said it was day to day.
