Armstrong Leading the QB Race

Remember when we moved Cooper from Safety to corner, then back to safety, then to LB, and then back to safety again? Imagine how much better he'd be by now if we'd just left his a$$ alone.

what's the fun in that? agree w/ u though. this happens quite a bit. sometimes it works out great (Cody Glenn, SJB), other times not so much. surely the player has a major part of that decision - then again i don't think Heard was too happy about his switch.

As you allude to, there's no way to know if Cooper would be better, the same, or worse if he'd been at safety the whole time.

 
I thinks thats good for a player. Specially when they are young they have to learn the whole play book and when they settle down to one position they can be the field general because they know where everybody should be as well as everybodys assignment

Edit: dare I say its good to be "multiple"

HEARD: “Zack (Darlington) has really improved from spring. Like night and day. Really pleased with what he’s done. And AJ (Bush). AJ’s been a pleasant surprise as well. He’s a talented young man.” — Beck on the young quarterbacks

Jamal Turner spoke about the QB's on theticket.fm.

He speaks about how older QB's last year didn't take coaching and that since we have QB's willing to learn, they are really becoming more team oriented and not 'going for a home run' every single time.

He liked throwing one quarterback in particular under the bus despite his own shortcomings.

I don't know about this one.

“There's going to be tough catches that we should make, but, at the same time, there's going to be tough passes the quarterback should make, as well.”

Holding someone to a similar level of accountability as yourself is kind of the opposite of throwing someone under the bus despite your own shortcomings.

Quincy dropped a number of footballs in the Minnesota game. When the reporters asked him about it (I can't find the actual press conference at the moment) he said "ok how many drops did I have but how many of them were good throws?" or something of the sort, then finishing with saying, "You're trying to get me to say something that I'll get in trouble if I say." Obviously directed towards Taylor specifically.

Yet Taylor didn't play again, and Quincy continued to drop a good number of footballs thrown his way.
