Re: Is Trace McSorley a legit backup qb?
I don't think you want a rookie QB backing up a second year player, there are some intangibles that RG3 brings that Trace don't have yet, plus we haven't even seen this kid play one meaningful game yet...don't throw the baby out the bath water yet.

Re: Is Trace McSorley a legit backup qb?
As a passer, McSorley is not far behind Lamar. Lamar is significantly more electric as a runner and I think that Lamar is better at going through his reads. I think that McSorley’s sidelines are his strength, whereas Jackson’s strength is the middle of the field.

Re: Is Trace McSorley a legit backup qb?
I think the poster who said in a running qb team keeping only 2 is a bad idea. I think three qb's are almost a must have for this offense if you have a main guy and two solid backups that are cheap. I think the plan was to find a long term backup for LJ with a 6th round pick (Ravens like these guys and don't waste picks in the 6th). They could cut him if needed without much pain and based on his results earlier in preseason, I think they would have cut him and made him a practice squad guy IF - RG3 hadn't gotten hurt.
But since RG3 went down and due Trace getting a lot more work, he's developed into what the Ravens wanted.
I think they either keep 3 straight up makes sense, for dual use like 2 qb same time. Or IR RG3 after the cut. They have Trace as the backup and if LJ gets hurt they can bring RG3 after week 8 if needed and have a longer look at Trace (RIGHT? first time he can come back) and have that spot open for another player.

Re: Is Trace McSorley a legit backup qb?
Let’s face it, Lamar Jackson is very electric. And in tight moments of a game, his juices will shoot up and he’ll take hits he could otherwise avoid.
Keep 3 QBs.

Re: Is Trace McSorley a legit backup qb?
This is the argument that counts.
Trace, due to RG3's injury, is just developing faster than predicted. I think the original idea was to sneak him onto the PS, now he's developing so much faster that they will have to keep 3 or try to save RG3 via IR to keep or get someone else. For me, it's keep 3 and consider keeping 3 active on gameday.

Re: Is Trace McSorley a legit backup qb?
Don't forget he will almost certainly contribute in other ways besides being the 3rd QB. Didn't Roman say that they would start preparing him for other roles closer to the regular season starting.

Re: Is Trace McSorley a legit backup qb?
Fuck me, from waste of a pick to better passer than LJ in two hours. Another reason to get rid of these preseason games I guess.
You can't make this shit up.
