A little odd. Camp arm is what I would say...


if there was going to be a camp

More potential than Shurmur, but definitely a camp arm.

Man, I hate this pickup. We had to get rid of Kyle Shurmur, who's pretty damn good at holding a clipboard and has starter upside if he ever develops any actual skill at being a Quarterback. He's also super young and helped us win a Super Bowl.

He probably couldn't have signed in a better spot. He's clearly not in competition to start, which I think he needs from an attitude standpoint, but the system here fits what he can do as a quarterback. No, he doesn't have anything close to Mahomes' arm strength, but neither did Matt Moore. If Patterson can get conditioned to the reality that he's a backup in the NFL, he could be valuable a few years down the road should there be another situation where we need somebody to step in for a game or two.

That's assuming this is more real than the story about the Giants signing him...

I see what you did here

QB controversy incoming.

Official: Michigan has blackmail photos/video on Veach.

I’d rather have Tyler Bray

Trying to bring down Mahome's value

QB CONTROVERSY

Stopping Belichik from grabbing the next System QB from Michigan

I'm sure there are times I was less excited about a Chiefs' signing but I really can't remember when. :shrug:

TO THE SHIP!!

The Chiefs now have 2 former Ole Miss QBs on the roster...

Play taster. Do not get the King hurt

There was a time when I would’ve been trying to convince myself a guy like this could be the future. It’s nice not having to do that anymore.

And Michigan...

Didn’t Patterson transfer to Michigan to supposedly receive the benefits of playing under alleged “QB Guru” Jim Harbaugh?

So much for that plan... an UDFA with minimal interest from the NFL.

Can he play CB?

But can he get Thiggy with it? :hmmm:

Like renovating a busted house.

Flip'em and sell'em

You save that arm and sweep the leg

I know the chiefs like a vet back up but I’m really hoping Ta’amu shows something and could be the #2 in 2021.

The Chiefs currently have 90 roster spots to fill, with four of them previously taken by Mahomes, Henne, Jordan Ta'amu and Kyle Schurmur.

I don't see anything odd about this signing, especially considering the Chiefs signed a 35 year old retired QB off the streets due to injuries to Henne and Mahomes.

With roster size increased from 53 to 55 and the Practice Squad increasing from 10 to 12, it's a good idea to have at least one, if not two extra QB's available and learning the system, especially after cutting Schurmer.

I've watched this guy 5 or 6 times and he looked terrible. Like not even an NFL caliber QB.

You don’t see anything “odd” with signing a dogshit QB?

From your lips to Gods ears, truer words were never spoken

CPer's are freaking out and questioning Andy Reid's ability to judge QB talent.

This ****in' place, man. Classic.

LMAO

Great. This is Grbac /Gannon all over again.

I could give two shits.

That said, some year I wouldn't mind drafting a backup just so its cheap for four year.

I haven't read the entire thread (my bad, I know), but I'd just like to say, "Who?"

I'd also like to add that, if I were an undrafted QB (or any QB, for that matter), I would love to come to the Chiefs and learn from Whisperer Wally himself. It would look damn good on the CV.

What's with all the Michigan love?

JFC you are seriously reeruned.

Shurmur is gone. Cut last week.

He was saying that previously we had four roster spots held by quarterbacks. We still do and thus are consistent with previous roster ratios.

I’m so done with this team signing unnecessary UDFAs who aren’t even going to make our Super Bowl champion roster. This really ruined my day.

Next thing you know, Andy Reid will order a ****ing salad and really put the dagger in our dreams of a repeat.

People are concerned by this? lol

I hate the offseason, but it’s even more intolerable without baseball.

Uh yea who cares? Guys like Patterson even if they were blah in college tend to get team invites this time of year because he was a 5 star recruit once upon a time.

I heard he ordered a salad and it didn't even have croutons on it!



(But it did have bacon bits)

Reid pushing Mahomes to keep his starting role? Brilliant! :thumb:

The planet is slipping. Way way too long for this obvious post to appear in this thread. Kudos to SuperBowl4 in correcting this oversight.

Tyler Bray is still drawing an NFL paycheck.

That's unbelievable.

I suspect he's out of runway at this point, though. I believe he's exhausted his practice squad eligibility so I can't imagine him actually sticking with an organization anymore.

But still - guy has been cashing paychecks from NFL teams for 7 years now and has been on a gameday roster twice in that whole period. He's taken a TOTAL of 4 NFL snaps.

The allure of potential, man...

I didn't realize that took effect immediately. I thought that happened when they added the regular season game to the schedule. So we actually get a 55 man roster this year?

Good god Roy, I stated as much in the last sentence of the post you quoted:

Reminds me of his rookie year quote.

"Why did you choose to sign with the Chiefs?"

Bray: "Andy Reid gets QB's paid".

Yes, roster sizes increase from 53 to 55 this season while the Practice Squad increases from 10 to 12 players.

In 2020, the NFL expanded the playoffs from 6 teams to 7.

Only the Top Seed (#1) receives a Bye week, the rest have to play their way to the Super Bowl.

The 17 game season doesn't begin until 2021 at the earliest.

Practice Squad eligibility has changed with new CBA: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/n...alary-changes/

Practice squads expanded from 10 to 12 players in 2020-2021, then to 14 players starting in 2022 (including between two and four players with unlimited accrued seasons per team)

All this means is Gehrig Dieter is going to be a PS member till he's 35.

We just love Michigan players??? That's all I got.

We had 1 until about a week and a half ago and now all of the sudden we have 5.

Andy Reid trying to show Jim Harbaugh that he can't coach worth a shit by coaching up his guys.

No kidding.

There are going to be some career caddies in this league...

Tyler Bray has never known a single season of his entire NFL career in which Matt Nagy was not on the coaching staff.

I don't know if it's blackmail or a secret gay relationship. But it's clearly one of those two. That's the only logical explanation.

Worthless TC arm

Nothing not to like about this signing, this guy has credible career backup written all over him

10th rated QB this year according to my draft guide...

“Twitchy, athletic and creative, Patterson proved capable of making plays in and out of structure at the collegiate level. He has a bigger arm than you’d expect, with enough zip to test tight windows and the ability to connect over the top of a defense. Has a quick release and does a nice job of staying ready to throw when moving within the pocket. He’s enough of a running threat to make plays when he escapes the pocket and in the zone read game”

Sounds like perfect competition for Ta’amu if you ask me

It’s OUR turn to send Cassels throughout the league. Let the Chiefsification begin!

That is so Leafesque. I remember when Leaf said something to the effect of going to Las Vegas if he were the No.1 pick in the draft.;)

Virtual camp arm

Ah, ok. I had the playoff restructuring right this year, but I wasn’t aware of the roster increase this year. That’s kinda cool. Side note, a local kid has a little better chance of making the Cincy PS with that increase.
