What does signing Kaaya mean?

As a basis for this thought pattern, Stampede Blue did an in-depth article (located here) that tries to show that all the defensive free agents and drafted players from 2017 fit a 4-3, cover 3 zone defensive scheme (think SEA Legion of Boom) much better than a 3-4 scheme. They use this as "evidence" that Ballard has known since last year who his new head coach was going to be (pointing towards Toub IMO) and what styles of offense/defense were going to be installed. Because Ballard knew ahead of time, then if he brings in a QB before the end of the season, that QB must fit whatever system we are going to.

Looking at Kaaya's NFL.com Draft Profile, he strikes me as a "West Coast Offense" kind of guy with a quick release, rhythm type of play. Some quotes from an article on HogsHaven.com (Redskins site)




That is the thin line of reasoning many are going to to try and make the signing of Kaaya more than perhaps it is.

Walk Worthy

Kaayas signing is nothing more than a reflection that the front office know that Tolzien is utter garbage. Kaaba will serve as a camp arm pending the trade of Brissett or his continuation as #2 qb. Either way I figure they see Kaya as nothing more than a potential #3 qb this year.
