[QUOTE="Favre>Rodgers259, post: 840833, member: 10866"] I personally feel we're reading into this too much. I know sometimes it's easy to get sucked down that rabbit hole, that the coaches and front office have these under the surface analytics that someone from the outside looking in would typically miss but to me this isn't one of those moments. Why can't it just be that Boyle won the competition fair and square. Gute scouted Kizer as a rookie coming out of ND; he couldn't get him in the draft so he seized the opportunity in a trade with the Browns. Prior to his rise to GM, Gute was an east coast scout. Could he have noticed Boyle at Connecticut? Maybe. He later shifted to the Southeast, where it's more than likely he definitely noticed him at Eastern Kentucky. So he did what most GMs often do and bet on "his guys" that he might find success. Grabbed Kizer, grabbed Boyle. I think we all agree that Boyle definitely showed potential last year. Kizer looked middling at best but he had the experience from the Browns so that insulated him. And then 2019 happened. Kizer looked slightly better at best, but Boyle looked vastly improved; hence his 112.8 passer rating in the preseason. Gute has went on record saying that he thought Boyle had the better preseason(the stat line definitely says he did); and to me it's as simple as that. Gute consulted with MLF on if he was comfortable with Boyle and he say he was, and then he made one of his best moves as a GM and cut Kizer(and Moore). In the Ted Thompson era Kizer probably would have hung around for another 2 years minimum Yea he's never taken a snap in the regular season....yea he's an UDFA from an FCS school....but he beat out a guy who almost went in the 1st Round from one of the best college programs in the nation, who already had a full year of starting NFL experience. Can we at least try to get behind the guy before he ever attempts a pass? He's got my vote. [/QUOTE]
