![]() ![]() In a press conference ahead of the Ravens’ preseason finale on August 25, 2022, head coach John Harbaugh said that the team is “blessed” to have him as their backup to Jackson and that he “definitely” believes that he could be a starting quarterback in the league for another team. However, he went 41-of-71 for 437 passing yards with three touchdowns to three interceptions in the preseason and he got to play extensively into the second halves of his team’s exhibition games against lesser competition. Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Jordan Love, who was drafted in the first round in the same year Huntley went undrafted is being talked about in higher regard. For comparison’s sake, Pittsburgh Steelers first-round rookie Kenny Pickett went 29-of-36 for 261 passing yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions and has been the toast of the league and has fans as well as media pundits clamoring for him to start over Mitchell Trubisky. He went 31-of-36 for 263 passing yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions and run for 26 yards on five carries during the preseason. He's only 24 years old, making only 895k, A needy team should look at him over a Garoppolo /pza4wnkHfi In a spot start vs the #Packers last season, Huntley had 3 total TDs and 288 yards #Ravens talented backup QB Tyler Huntley is now 29 of 32 passing for 238 yards with 2 TDs in pre-season. He ran to extend plays and buy more time for his pass catchers to uncover instead of just taking off when his first read wasn’t open as he did last year. The third-year pro saw five quarters of action in the month of August in the first half of the Ravens’ three exhibition games and displayed improved accuracy, pocket presence, and overall mechanics. Huntley is coming off an extremely strong preseason where he showed tremendous growth and refinement to his game. ![]() He threw for 1081 passing yards and scored five total touchdowns to four interceptions with a respectable quarterback rating of 76.6. Huntley established himself as one of the best backup quarterbacks in the league when he started four games in place of former league MVP Lamar Jackson due to illness and injury last season.Įven though the team went just 1-3 in games with him at the helm, it wasn’t because the former undrafted free agent wasn’t effective under center. However, they could elevate their quarterback room in the immediate and foreseeable future by trading for Baltimore Ravens‘ backup quarterback Tyler Huntley in a move that makes sense for all parties involved. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is renowned for his love of competition but many in the media as well as around the league believe that the organization is content with bottoming out or taking a reset year in 2022. The team opted not to take a player at the position in this year’s draft and neither Smith of Lock inspires much confidence or excitement about the prospects of their offense and team overall in 2022. Smith served as the team’s backup for the last two years and Lock was acquired as part of the trade that sent their former franchise quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos. They were essentially forced to do so by default because fourth-year pro Drew Lock made a woeful final push for the job in a poor performance against the Dallas Cowboys where he went 13-of-24 for 174 passing yards and threw just one touchdown to three interceptions. The Seattle Seahawks named career journeyman backup Geno Smith their starting quarterback following their final preseason game on August 28. The saddest and most uninspiring battle by far took place in the Pacific Northwest and came to an anticlimactic conclusion. Several teams around the league had open competitions in training camp and the preseason at the most important position in all of sports, quarterback.
