I too don't get the EJ hate today from some quarters. He was fine. Did any of you watch the Jets game earlier? Geno Smith is a dumpster fire compared to EJ. I saw EJ make a nice run for a touchdown (and thank goodness for replay, because that was a criminal miss by the line judge) and make two nice throws in the late going, either of which would have put the team in position to win were they not fumbled away. The deep balls need work - Goodwin would have gotten a call or two if EJ had put the ball closer to him - but that, unlike the lack of arm strength that has plagued so many of our previous QBs, is fixable.
On the list of things that lost us this game - Gilmore, Stevie, Chandler, the zebras in the 4th, the fact that we were playing a freaking road game, etc etc - EJ is so far down as to barely even be on it. He was fine.
