Jake Ballard

Brady and Mallett would both have to be hit by a bus on game day for Tebow to take snaps at qb for Pats.

agree and I don't get why they said that they got him for a QB if they are not going to try to use him for something else he doesn't make the roster no way. I think Bellichek just wants to see if he can use him for something. Why spend time working on him as a QB when we all know Brady has only a couple seasons left. Spend the time on Mallet

It is basically a glorified tryout. Might be the last favor Bill does for Meyer after signing off on Hernandez.

Don't believe the hype on Ballard (fantasy hype that is), he may not even make the team. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/6310/jake-ballard

Jake Ballard will be better than expected.

Unless he cannot pass his physical he makes team. Fells and the Samoan kid aren't pass catching threats.

I did not think he would be a direct replacement for Hernanadez but maybe worth a very late round flyer as your backup TE. If he plays there will be chances to put up some numbers.

The problem is I think Grits n' Gravy, BigSpoon and I can all out-run Ballard.

Yeah, gotta admit that Rotoworld link you posted was a bit eye opening. His knees are really ******.

Hopefully jake doesn't shoot anyone.

Too funny. Guess we'll find out in training camp.

[Mitchell88]

Ballards knees are in rough shape but we will have to see what camp holds. I think this season (fantasy wise) will be a tough draft

[BigSpoon]

So much for that prediction. Ballard cut today along with some dude named Tebow.

[dudekid]

i just cant believe they cut zoltan mesko!!

Guess the knee was shot. If Tebow clears waivers he ends up on Pats practice squad.

yes I don't understand that either. I haven't heard much of any reasons for it.. Many odd cuts by many teams this year

[dudekid]

mitchell they cut him because of ryan allen. guy won the college punter award 2 straight years, he has a serious leg. still though zoltan was great

Came down to money, Mesko was set to make $1.3M this season while Allen only on $405K. Allen has the stronger leg but Mesko more consistent with placement/control of his punts.
