Re: Is Trace McSorley a legit backup qb?
To me Trace McSorley is a #3 QB, if a team keeps that many on it's 53, and a Practice Squad candidate. A guy you use in (a) pre-season, (b) week day team practices, and (c) activated only in an emergency like an injury to your #1 or #2... Bc

Re: Is Trace McSorley a legit backup qb?
I'd think that Trace McSorley should probably stick on the 53. Generally teams who draft players don't cut them and try to stick them on the practice squad.
The Ravens, due to the fact that Lamar is a running QB, probably should keep 3 QBs on the 53.
However, the idea that these running QBs are rare and hard to replace is entirely false. So, the Ravens should keep 3, and Trace would be perfectly fine as one of the 3, but if there was some sort of injury and the Ravens wanted to find someone else who would be able to do what Trace does, it wouldn't be hard to do that. Any of the college running QBs who are positional converts who are trying to stick on 53s might be as good as Trace or even better.
Greg Ward Jr just caught a 38 yard TD pass, he's a WR now. He's on the Eagles, who apparently aren't considering him, or Braxton Miller, also now a WR, as a QB, and just brought in Josh McCown, after Cody Kessler got hurt. I'd argue that Greg Ward or Braxton Miller would get you wins more than Cody Kessler or Josh McCown.
Here are some college stats, best rushing yards year, best passer rating year, of a few players including Lamar Jackson.
Lamar Jackson (Ravens) 1601 148.8
Quinton Flowers (Bengals) 1530 153.6
Braxton Miller (Eagles) 1271 158.1
Greg Ward Jr (Eagles) 1114 148.6
Trace McSorley (Ravens) 798 156.9
those are ranked by best rushing yards season.
There are more, those 3 I list are all on 90 rosters and all are bubble at best, not very likely to make the 53.
They're all fast type running QBs, like Lamar, not the big type running QBs, the convert to TE types, like Cam Newton. If the Ravens wanted one of those, Jason Vander Laan (Panthers TE), Blake Bell (Chiefs TE), Tyrone Swoopes (cut by Seahawks 3 days ago) all were on 90 rosters. Logan Thomas (Lions TE) is more likely to make the 53 but he might be cut.
Rookies this year who are in a similar boat to Trace McSorely - Easton Stick (Chargers QB), Tyree Jackson (Bills QB).
There are a lot to choose from.
