I tend to go along with patchick's view. There is a fair amount of history of the Pats keeping a 'project' QB on the 53 roster. If they kept Davey, as obvious as it was that he couldn't ever be an NFL QB, I'd think Gutierrez has a pretty fair shot at the 53 if he shows decently in trianing camp.
The Patriots always keep QB bodies in training camp to reduce the reps of Brady, so Gutierrez should have a good chance to show what he can do.
Agreed. Gutierrez will get his chance in training camp. Patchick's comments are valuable in that they give us a sense of his potential. If there is anything there the Pats feel they can develop, I believe he has a great shot at the 53, but they need to see him for a full training camp first.
Cassel appears to have shown the team that he's a capable #2 at this point in his career. He'll get solid playing time in the preseason games to cement his place. There's no reason why Gutierrez shouldn't become the next development project as the #3 QB if he proves worthy. No need for concern with this position, the Pats cover now, near-term (emergency), and long-term with these 3 guys.
