But they brought in another guy.
They keep signing other QBs and Woodside keeps beating them out. Hopefully he will do it again.
2019 they cut Austin Davis and Blaine Gabbert before having room to sign Woodside
2019 Woodside made the practice squad, but ended up injured.
2020 they drafted Cole McDonald and the scuttlebutt was that he was so much more talented then Woodside, and they wouldn't waste a draft pick on a QB if they didn't expect to keep him. Woodside beat him out.
2020 then they brought in former NFL starter Trevor Siemian and everyone said Woodside's NFL career was over as there is no way he could compete with him. Woodside ended up on the roster, and Siemian on the practice squad. Beat him too.
2020 Siemian got signed away by NO, so they brought in Kizer, and again all the talk was about how he is soooo much more talented than Woodside - I mean he played at Notre Dame for gosh sake. Woodside stayed on the roster and Kizer became the "covid emergency QB".
2021 they brought back Kizer in the off season, and everyone was all, well last season was an anomaly, and Kizer is a shoe-in to beat out Woodside this year, 'cause, well 'cause he went to freakin' Notre Dame. Kizer gets cut.
2021 Former NFL starter Matt Barkley is the latest competition. People again saying this is for certain, no fooling, the end of the road for Woodside.
Now interestingly Barkley was in camp at Cinci when Woodside was drafted there, but got injured in pre-season. Woodside was cut later, so Barkley didn't beat him out then either, and Woodside is reportedly a much better QB now than he was then. Barkley has a career QB rating of 66. That's pretty darn bad. 11 TDs to 22 INTs. Hard to see how he would be an upgrade, especially with a higher veterans salary. Don't know what will happen but I would not write Woodside off yet.
