It was my theory last year that we would draft a QB because if it didn't work out, no big deal. Chances are with all new coaches we were going to be back picking in the top 10 next draft. Here we are again. And I wouldn't cry if we took another QB early. Draft until we get a franchise QB.
Yeah EJ was only hurt 3 times his rookie season. He's probably done being injured. Good thing he got all of his injuries out of the way early. Don't worry about backups.
All he had to do was say "I was excited and got caught up in my emotions. Crabtree talked smack all game and I wanted to have the last word." Everyone would understand and forgive him. But instead he doesn't really apologize and calls everyone racist for finding his unsportsmanlike rant unbecoming.
Marrone had no choice but to say he was fine with Byrd. Publicly criticizing Byrd doesn't help the team's future negotiating stance in any way. This doesn't mean Marrone condones Byrd's actions. And also This article says he held out so I don't fault anyone for thinking he did.
Draft another QB? Why? We have some on our roster already! And they already have helmets and jerseys. It would be a HUGE hassle to invest time looking for ANOTHER quarterback. I mean, where would they sit? The benches aren't long enough. EJ's shown us that he can come back from injuries. Three times! How many more times does he have to prove it to you?
I wanted to draft EJ. I want him to succeed. However his propensity for injury makes me worry. I would not blame the organization for drafting QB this draft. Especially if there is a Manziel or Bridgewater available.
Yeah, EJ's only been injured 3 times in his rookie year. It shows he's durable and we don't need any backup plan. I mean, this whole season has been a lesson in "we're totally fine at the QB position this year."
We should probably proclaim him the starter for next season and not even look at any other QB in the draft because he can't possibly get hurt next season
