Here is a question I asked last night in the game day chat: Do we keep 3 QBs on the final 53?

IMO Taysom is a far better "emergency" QB than Book will ever be.

Don't be surprised if Coach Allen cuts Ian Book at the close of camp.

So the last chapter has been read on Ian Book? Probably so... Let's give him one more try in the next game.

Isn't next year supposed to be the year at QB in the draft anyways?

If I'm a coach Smash, these are my concerns in general :

Struggles from outside the pocket, and has issues "climbing" up and away from it. Throws have been inaccurate & take unnecessary sacks. He's also short. But that overthrow to Dixon (I believe) led to a pick (and Texans points) & D'jon is at least 6'4. In real games, turnovers turn into L's.

I just don't see him developing much. Probably a nice dude to hang out with, but he's not going to cut at this level of football.

I'm just a couch coach and have been wrong before

Brother. Professional paid coaches and scouts are wrong more often than right about players. Pennington, Carmazzi, Redman, Martin, Bulger, Winn were all picked before Brady.
