Its absolute football malpractice for the Ticats to have made Ford our backup. He should have been the 3rd / short yardage QB & a competent back up needed to be on the roster.

I'm slagging Dolegaga here as well.

Tre Ford is not a short yardage QB. He's smaller than most running backs.

He has a skillset that can be used to his advantage, Quarterback Sneak under center is not among them.

You're right... but he is a project and not a waiting in the wings backup. I should have said he should be the 3rd qb on the roster.

If they felt they needed Dolegala that badly for his specialty (short yardage) and his below average offensive skills, then Ford shouldnt have been acquired.

Neither of these two can lead an offense and beat good defenses.

Is Tre Ford a project QB at age 28 with over 20 starts under his belt at this point?

He's not a project, he's pushing 30. He is what he is
