Why not. See what he's got.

 

[Troy McClure]

I hope he gets to play. Of course, walking off the street to a new team guarantees some mistakes will happen.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Can't be any worse than Mullens or Beathard

Why cant it?

 

[GKJ]

Turns out Rosen wasn’t their first choice for a Josh much less QB.

 

[Breakers]

You always wonder what could have been with this kid.

Such a wild start to his career

he's still only 23

the teams he's started for have been terrible

He could be a late bloomer.

I get he’s from Cali but I thought TB was a good place for him as Brady won’t be there for more than another year.

 

[keonsbitterness]

He's got great arm talent. But that's all I see in him.

Hard to bloom at all if you’re on your 4th team in your first 3 years

And it makes sense. Most teams will go with the guy who knows their system over a dude off the street with zero prep time.

Two games left. SF just needed a body for the backup role. Barring injury I don’t see him getting into a game. And for him, I wouldn’t want to get into a game. Not much to be gained with no reps with SF. Likely the tape wouldn’t look very good. Not like he’s overcoming an injury or something.

as a practice squad player, does he have the option to sign with SF or not? Because I would have thought TB was a good place for him. He was claimed late by TB after Miami released him so never had a training camp with them thus non no position to beat out Gabbert for the backup role.
Figured he would have his shot to compete next season in TB. but on the flip side could see Arians not be there much longer this another system to learn once Brady is done too.
SF, Shanny will be there for a while. Maybe he thought his chances of sticking it with them next season are better.

Shanny's system does the work for him. Hand it off if its a run or throw it to the wide open guy in the slot if its a pass

 

[Canes]

He could be a late bloomer.

He's actually the opposite. Peaked earlier in his career. Going into college and as a freshman he looked like the next potential superstar QB at times, but he just never progressed. He's still living on that reputation.

 

[DueDiligence]

Can't be any worse than Mullens or Beathard

he's a lot worse than Mullens.

I mean, it's a great system to bring in a young QB who has been shell shocked from his first run through the league. You simplify the QB's role and use your smart scheme to get him easy throws. If he can master that, then maybe he can be salvageable. If he can start to take on more decision making beyond that, he could be pretty good.

Shanny has shown that he has little patience for bad decisions. Josh has to be smart with the ball under Shanny or he'll end up like Jimmy G and get the ball taken out of his hands.

Not sure why so many saw a flower in the first place.

Ouch, waiver wire pick up now.

Feels like yesterday..

I talked about this before but this guy needs to go to Canada or something if he wants a pro career. He needs to get himself on a field in a game.

Too late for that. CFL season started, hes not going to come in and get any action up here, starters backups are already entrenched. Hell Paxton Lynch had a whole TC and hes currently a 3rd stringer barely hanging onto a roster spot. At best hed get a PR spot up here with maybe a chance to compete for a backup spot next year. No QB comes up to CFL and starts immediately. Only ones in past 25 years to start immediately in CFL were both straight out of college (no NFL) and both were week 1 due to injuries to the starter in TC days before the opener (Chris Streveler 2018, Nathan Rourke 2021). EDIT: Missed one Cleo Lemon in 2010. But he signed in off-season and went through TC. He was also out football just 18 months later.
