Hawkins is only a QB on the practice squad until he's done playing Cam Newton. Then he goes back to learning to play other positions and is no longer a QB. There is space for one more.

He could play another position and still be the 5th string QB though..... I don't think he would do any worse than Chris Harper, Kody Kept, or Justin Roper...

2 more years of DT and then an intense QB battle between Bryan Bennett, Mariota, & Randall.
I know we're always concerned about QB injuries, but you would think 4 QB's is enough.....we would have 5 if you include Hawkins.
Dixon, Costa, Leaf, Kempt, Roper. Its happened before.
Yep, but how often is that going to happen?
Well, the following year started with Costa, then Roper, Masoli, Harper, Darren Thomas. It wasn't that long ago that there was a lot of discussion about if the spread offense opens qbs up to injury more than pro style offenses etc. While that string of bad luck is probably just that, having at least 4 qbs is probably what Chip wants/prefers as well as having a 5th emergency qb. I believe Marvin Johnson is the emergency emergency option and took a few reps last year in practice before the ucla game.
