PATRIOTS-80

Assuming we keep Gutz on the PS, who do you think could serve as emergency QB? My guess would be Wes Welker.

Like if we lost both Cassel and O'C?

Well we'd have to lose them both in the same game for it to be an issue.

I imagine any number of guys can hand a ball off at a rate of 50% to just get a game over-with...

Technically, though we can have 46 game-day actives if #46 is a QB.

The point is, though, that 46th player must still be on the 53, which Gutierrez is not. They can still add him Saturday, though, if they cut someone else.

I can't think of anyone likely to be inactive who would make a good emergency QB. It would have to be someone who knows the offensive system, I can't see them using a primarily defensive or special teams player as QB (unless they got some practice this week). Of the actives I looked at, Sammy Morris's bio says he played QB in HS. As long ago as that was, it at least shows a little arm strength, and he knows the offensive system.

Randy Moss threw a TD pass last year but to be consistently successful he'd have to be able to throw it to himself

I just think we may walk into each game with two. Odds are on our side, imo.
Both guys PROBABLY won't go down in one game (I know it does happen sometimes). If one of them got hurt, they could activate him then.

Or they could cut Slater for the space.

Hehe... I like Slater, just saying that dropped return was UGLY. Confidence waning...

What about CJ Jones they could cut him to make room for gutierrez

MoLewisrocks

I believe he actually threw a flea flicker to Brady. According to Pro Football reference he has 8 attempts and 4 completions in his career, and none were for TD's.

JSn

Yeah, Jones. Not my fave. Hard to say, Matt - you're a cool cat, just quit dropping those balls.
