Tim Boyle Continues to Impress

Hundley stinks at least they figured out which one to trade.

Well, certainly improves his odds to at least make practice squad I would imagine.

Neither Kizer, nor Hundley affected Boyle's practice squad spot, as neither are eligible for the PS themselves. What this does is pretty much chisel Kizer in as Rogers' primary backup and increase the probability of the Pack to carry only two QBs on the 53 man roster.
 
If he is slated for practice squad - is there a window for other teams to pick up or is he protected? I don’t believe they would risk having him unprotected.
 
Every cut player must pass through wavers.

Why wouldn’t they risk it? NFL teams now with few exceptions carry 2 qbs. Packers would be fools to carry 3 active qbs.
 
It looks like Rodgers and the staff really like Tim a lot. Always joking and smiling with him on the sidelines. It seems like they value him a bit more than some think. Just an impression.
 
ESPN article on the Hundley trade says they plan to keep Boyle on the 53 man roster. This obviously could change before rosters are finalized, but it would be quite a coup for Boyle if the Packers like him enough to fear putting him on waivers prior to assigning him to the practice squad. The NFL minimum for 2018 is $480,000 ($30,000/game) vs. the practice squad pay of $7,600/week. He is a smart kid that fits in the pro style offense. He could have a lengthy Orlovsky -like NFL career if he becomes a trusted back-up QB. Orlovsky made a cool $9.9M starting 12 games and throwing 500 passes in his career.

Can you link the article? As a packers fan I would not be happy with them rostering 3 qbs. That spot should go to a defensive player or special teamer.

Do teams put QB’s on practice squads?

Essentially you are putting your playbook and system on ebay for the price of one week’s salary.

Pretty sure most do, I know the Packers have for the last several years.
 
Does this mean Boyle will be the secondary secondary starter or the primary replacement to the alternate starter? This third QB think is too confusing to me

It was a rhetorical question - they are keeping him - trying to understand better some thought processes around here. LOL

He has more upside than Danny. Stronger arm and better athlete.

Happy for Tim if he can latch onto an active roster. Don’t think it’s right move for Packers to keep 3 qbs.

you cant dress 53. he will be inactive every week. The difference between being the 7 men out each week vs practice squad is availability - a team can grab your guy off PS if they put him on their 53 man roster; they can't grab him from your 53 man roster.

I hope that helps in understanding better some thought processes around here

I assume there's a pretty nice pay jump from the PS to the 53 man roster, no?

3 weeks, but so what?

Every team has video of their opponents. Heck, the NFL makes the All-22s available to fans now. I doubt that as a mop up rookie QB in the preseason (where coaching staffs don't exactly gameplan for their opponents), Boyle would be able to tell a future Packers opponent much that they don't already know.

I know but I thought that was a trick back when they first started practice squads.

That’s helpful.

I'm gonna wait until Tim passes for 300 yards against a Bill Belichick defense to agree with that.
