I look at EJ not being able to hit a player in stride. I see EJ not reading blitzes. I see EJ looking downfield w WR completely open and not passing the ball to them. I see EJ not running when he should. I see EJ scared. That being said, i also agree about Hackett.

He hit a WIDE OPEN WR on a blown coverage play. If EJ cant make that throw then god help us. He wasnt inconsistent today. Inconsistent means he had a lot of good with some bad sprinkled in or a lot of good with a lot of bad. He was 90% bad today. Arguably his worst performance in the NFL so far.

You summed up my feelings in 5 words. I literally felt physical pain watching this game.

Im in the exact same boat. I can argue either point. For EJ i can simply say we're 2-2 and its still early and hes still developing/young etc. For orton i can say EJ is regressing, there is way too much talent on this team, we're still 2-2 so if we're going to make a change, make it now so it can have a positive impact. Tough decision.

I think Watkins will be a stud in this league. You see glimpses even with a bad rib (which is one of worst injuries you can have and still play). EJ on the other hand - show me one game this year and last year where you thought damn this guy looks REAL good. Being honest, the highest ive thought of his play has been "not bad". Not bad wont cut it. Hes needs to evolve and do it quickly.

At least we can draft that stud QB in first round next year. =(

Indeed it does

I dont like Hackett. But EJ had WR open all day on multiple plays and he just never saw them and threw it to another target which he couldnt complete. EJ was simply horrible. Another performance like this one next week and you HAVE to bench. Theres nothing that says he cant come back and be our QB, but you cant continue to throw him out there as bad as hes looked the last two weeks. He cant make simple passes. He cant read defenses and audible when he should. Im still waiting for that 300yd 3TD performance from this guy. Ill take 3INT w those 3td's but christ at least give us something to root for.

Yes he did.

Bridgewater already makes more plays than EJ. =\

Sums it up pretty well. EJ is regressing. He has yet to have one of those "oh wow" games where you at least see glimpses of potential studliness. Hes either average or horrible which in total equals a below average QB.

This is the worst game ive seen for EJ. We had this game, and we're going to lose it.

Only way we win this game is w another turnover by D Only way we win this game is w another turnover by D

He sucks so bad it physically hurts

We have wide open wr this entire game. EJ looks lost

Flipping HORRIBLE

ej looks horrible

any stat after 3 games doesn't say much IMO b/c just one really good or bad game/play can inflate or detract from numbers. and like others have stated, there are many factors that play into this stat. I personally want to see EJ hit on the deep ball more consistently. There were a couple of open targets downfield vs. the Chargers that he overthrew.

can't believe i missed this thread. DOOOOOOOOOOOOM

DOOOOOOM

I seriously doubt we win this game in "convincing" fashion. The only way we do that is if Fitz has one of his clunker games. Fitz is just as likely to throw for 250yds and 3TD's against us as he is 3INT's. The Texans lost to a Giants team who essentially was playing for their entire season in Week 3. Giants stepped up. I had this game as a "W" prior to the season but we'll see what Fitz shows up and we'll see how we run the ball vs. the Texans. It should be a fun game.
