Our 3rd string QB throws a couple of picks in the very meaningful 4th exhibition game.....and the Eeyore switch is triggered....

Agree. Whatever Tim Boyle may end up being good or bad (most likely a guy we try to remember the name of in about 5-6 years), if he has to throw a meaningful pass all year, it will be a bad, bad sign. 

Missed the game.  Sounds like Boyle has some developing to do?  Who'd a thunk?  Did he maintain any of that pocket presence or immediately run to his right and sail the ball over a receivers head?

The question to be weighed is if he's valuable enough to hold a roster spot that could be used for tackle or LB depth.  I like the kid.  I like what I've seen of his awareness on the field.  I have a hard time putting too much stock in his college career because the Connecticut program sounded like a hot mess with a really bad HC *clears throat*. 

But, he's still a UDFA positioning himself as a 3rd stringer.  Every team has a guy like this.  Is Boyle going to be more valuable, even in the future, than a guy who will provide solid depth in the LB or Oline rotation?  The idea is to win Superbowls with Aaron Rodgers, not hope Boyle or Taysom Hill or whoever is the next Kurt Warner.  That's the kind of thinking that's been ****ing this team for years now.  

Get players who can play and stop with the poorly evaluated roster spot campers and gimmicky, horse**** gameplans that utilizes 3 FBs in a spread formation.

Boyle looked very good the first couple drives.  After that... he was awful.  It seemed like once his first read wasn't there, he didn't have a plan and did a lot of just flinging it around hoping something good would happen.   Went from looking awesome to looking like a scrub in the blink of an eye.  Showed he needs a lot of work before you'd want him as the primary backup.  That said, he looked like the same old awesome Tim Boyle when he first got out there.
