Free agent question

I'm just curious why this player was even signed, let alone have 2 teams bidding on his services.

https://usflwfl.myfootballnow.com/player/6450

Only reason I can think of is he can hold kicks. This QB has 14 speed so RB is out of the question. He has elite arm strength and scrambling skills but below 50 pass release, no accuracy and I think he might be going blind (19 LOD, 15 FOV).

Even if he booms with his 92 volatility, I don't think he can boom enough to be a decent QB. Am I missing something?

I had him on my draft pool

Why though? I fail to see any usefulness in him.

If it's for kick holding, I get it, though I prefer to use a punter or a good backup QB for that. I don't want to use a roster spot for someone that all they can do is long snap or kick hold, but that's just me.

cheap contract, not an issue to cut him after training camp if doesn't have desired results. I wouldn't have done it, but I also wouldn't make half the trades I see made, so there is that

I get all that but nobody has said why they actually want him. I have signed people with the idea I'll probably cut them, but I had a plan for them if it worked out.

I just want to know what possible usefulness this guy has. A blind QB is going to **** even if he has a rocket launcher arm.

Stephan labelle is almost like that player (if said player booms to max), and he just stomped over my team on championship game.
Now, not being drafted, so 92 vol will be hard to catch up to 100 accuracy, i had a spot on my roster to give it a shot. If you dont try you wont get it

Ok, so you're hoping for a boom. Good luck with that, though imo he has to have the biggest boom ever in MFN to be of any use. If I'm wrong, feel free to remind me and I'll congratulate you on finding a hidden gem.

As for comparing him to Labelle...LMMFAO. Not even close.

Why?? The only difference ( if he booms like ever seen for a non-100vol) is that labelle has 15 intelligence & 70 acceleration while this guy has 15 acceleration & 90 intelligence... So where am i wrong? Everything else is pretty close to identical

Field of vision and look off defense.
