[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 882608, member: 9364"] I see winning points on both sides of the argument here. I mean, on the one hand Love was drafted 1st round and came from a higher level of NCAA football than Boyle, so Captain does have a point on that. And I don't know, maybe he hasn't met expectations from the coaches. But that is simply speculation. Take the Miami Dolphins. Tua Tagaviloa didn't come running out the gate as starter these first few weeks, though he probably will be in soon. I just highly doubt Stephen Ross is already thinking "ohh man, this Tua guy ohh he's failing expectations not getting to start over old FitzSantaclaus. What were we thinking drafting him in the first round?" Obviously Fitzpatrick is not the future down there, and I'm certain Tua is a better QB. Well, we'll find out anyway. But obviously the coaches felt it made more sense to go with the veteran who knew the offense better and give their rookie more time to get it under his belt. Tim Boyle may not be as good as Fitzpatrick, though it's hard to say at this point in that old geezer's career. But considering we let two veterans in Kumerow and GMo go, I find it hard to believe the coaches would keep Boyle around if they didn't feel he had value as a backup. We're likely to invest at least a few years in Love unless we end up somehow with a Josh Rosen type situation which I doubt. So that would mean to me that if we were going to keep only two QBs on the roster in near future, number 2 would be Love. But this offseason was not a regular offseason, especially with limited training camp and no preseason. Even if Boyle was not better than Love, I'd still be more comfortable rolling with him first, and then if he was a stinko like Hundley, then put in Love. But hopefully neither of them have to take the field unless we're up by 35 or something. [/QUOTE]
