SLOTER/BEEBE

Both those guys have been very impressive this preseason, rooting for Beebe to make the team but not sure how realistic that is.  Not sure we could get him on the practice squad though.

Didn't Beebe set the whole thing up with his kick-off return.  I would try to find something for him to do on the team.

Sloter has moxie.

Beebe has earned a spot.

Sloter should be the backup QB. Siemian sucks bad....and why can’t Beebe do the same stuff they want Wright to do? Wright hasn’t even been on the radar. Treadwell has shown up more than him. We got the wrong Wright and Carolina is happy about it.

Agreed SLoter should be number 2. Some guys can just play and he just produces, doesn't look scared like Siemien.
I agree on Beebe as well. He has made plays all preseason.

I’d like to see him become the new punt return guy and 5 th receiver.  I think its time tto Sherels go.

Sloter earned the #2 spot to me. Not just this series last night. Trevor looks indecisive inaccurate afraid at times even. Sloter is throwing harder and on target and as Vikergirl says. The kids got moxie...
I didn't like the trade for Trevor Siemian in the first place. I mean we got a 2018 7th rounder and him for a 5th next year. So trade value wasn't awful. Just I knew last year why they gave up on him. Pre season this year is reminding me. He limits offenses. 
Beebe is the kind of hard worker and learner you want. Don't let the next Adam Thielen get away. I agree with Purplewhizz here he's should be our new punt return man.  

Siemian hasn't looked good this PS, but it's pre-season.

I would be more nervous turning the keys of the Maserati over to Sloter when the games start counting. And Zim/RS have created a Maserati of a team even though it hasn't steam-rolled everyone by 20 pts. 

You can't teach experience and I've never seen Sloter against anything resembling a starting caliber defense. As Guru points out, is he playing catch and beating 3rd stringers? Or playing within a system?

Next year?  I'll bet Sloter has a chance to make the #2 behind Capt'n Kirk. 

Agree with jimmy, Beebe has made the team. Zylstra maybe the practice squad.

With the Oline RS has put together there is a chance we’ll see Sloter this year....  unfortunately.  

I just love Sloter's enthusiasm and passion. He loves the game and his teammates and you can clearly see that. He is having fun out there. He is a smart guy that works hard. Siemian has been so inconsistent. I understand he has experience but....

I like Beebe because he is so determined to do the work to get the job done. He puts himself in the right spot to have an impact.

Like Beebe's speed and route running.  I would like to see him against better defenders but I am rooting for him.

I know what your saying about experience. I just believe Trevor is damaged goods...imo.
He looks afraid to let it rip. If he takes the over we are not a Maserati anymore. I don't like his velocity or his accuracy. That has nothing to do with pre-season level of competition. He floats them or bounces them. Sloter rifles them. The ball comes out and gets there quicker. That's power and you can't teach that. I would rather have Sloter take over if God help us something happens to Kirk. Not that we wouldn't be screwed either way. Sloter will more likely be #2 next year as you say. So why wait? It's cool I like your opinion here and understand it's logic. I just don't share it. 

Trevor is here to solely be a Game Manager if something happens to Kirk.

No way in hell that Zimmer wants Sloter coming in and winging it around in real games when he's got a dominant Defense.

Look, vanilla preseason game plans are Kryptonite to guys who do best with lots of motion and quick hit passing. And they're perfect for guys who can scramble and fling it. 

Keenum didnt exactly light the preseason on fire last year. 

How is Beebe doing it?  I dunno.  This guy was rated the 109th best WR coming out of the draft and he has a LOT of trouble cracking a 4.6
But he can play.  I keep thinking the clock is going to strike midnight soon and his carriage is going to turn back into a pumpkin.

Most of the 3rd stringers are told to play fast and not overthink.  Great in the preseason, but that isn't how it works in the regular games.  Otherwise Leaf and Vick and Kapernick would be HOF and Brady would be selling insurance.
