> [@Callout MARCUS](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/callout-marcus/29791/93): > > Tyler has to compete with 2 other back-ups in order to make the team. > > The first is Jamie Martin, who is a 13 year veteran that has only started 8 games in his entire career. I mean experience is usually the bench mark for a good back-up but time in the league doesnt always equate to experience. > > The other QB would be Jason Fife. He is a second year player out of, my favorite college program, Oregon. He has never started or played in a regular season game. His college career was above average but still nothing to write home about. > > I would have to say that out of all the situations to be in this is a favorable one for Tyler. He would be learning an offense that takes into account a shorter QB with an average arm. As long as his decision making can sharpen to a PRO level, I think he has an outstanding chance to make the team. > > Jimmy ya, i agree. im pretty confident he can beat out Martin…atleast eventually. i dont know too much about that Fife guy, but i’m hopin he can beat him out too. i think he has good mobility, i dont understand why they say its a negative of his. i always thought he was pretty good at evading the rush and scrambling (considering our O-line was nothing special at all, and he was doing it often). --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2007-nfl-draft/189523)._
