So the 'Dee Brown' can play QB as 4th if needed....

much adu about nothing. If a team ever gets down to its 3rd string QB, they've got issues. They are 3rd string for a reason. I pray we never see Printers line up behind center this year.

There is a differnce between being moved from the playing squad and the active roster, and the active versus inactive game day roster.

Here they are obviously talking about the first one. That being said, if your 3rd QB is active on game day you can bring him in at any time, if you put him down as inactive/emergency QB then he can only come in if the first 2 QB's are lost and can't come back in the game.

it might be a big adu .......


if the promotion of printers means they expect Trent green to be gone so long that they need printers on the regular roster.


this is about Green ... not printers


remember Printers has to go back through waivers to be moved back to the practice squad when Green comes back. Kinda makes you think that Green is going to be gone long enough to warrant such a move.


hope not *cross fingers*

Thanks for the confirmation of my argument.

Understand, but you can only have 53 players on the active roster, and I believe they already have 53. So for Printers to be moved to the active roster, someone else has to be moved off. That is what worry's me, it says he replaces Trent on the roster, so is Trent going to IR?

True, yea i have a feeling Green will be gone until Mid Oct at least.

That is the importnat piece that is missing from this story.

We have to at least hope that Sampson (who is starting over Black this week) can offer some sound protection for Huard. He can't be any worse.
What also scares me is what most of you are saying about Trent and how much time he may miss. If Herm stated at 2:00pm that they are going with 2 QB's, then a few hours later announce the Printers move, what what did they hear during that time?

It's typical NFL coach double speak. He's saying they are going with two just in case they want to run a couple of gimmicky plays with Printers that the Broncos can't gameplan or anticipate.

Nope, if they are part of your designate 45 then they can play any time a coach wants. I think you are thinking of the rule where they are not part of the 45, then they can be brought in but neither the first or 2nd string can be brought back in if they are played.

Actually, it's no problem at all if Trent is ready to come back the week after the bye to move Printers off.


With the way our O-Line has been, I'd prefer to have a 3rd QB back there, even if it is Printers, as opposed to Dee Brown. The way Huard was getting knocked around last week, it wouldn't have been surprising if our #3 had to play.


One thing about Printers though, he's had the most practice this year with having the DE's hitting him the same time the ball gets to him from the Center.

I guess I was wrong to suggest that Printers was a fool to pass on a chance to earn a half-million in Canada to play on our practice squad. I'm guessing he's going to earn much closer to that 500K while getting a chance to play (well, hopefully just practice) in the NFL.

So who got released to make room for Gardner and Printers?

This truth does hurt.
