gsurdam Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 How can EJ be evaluated fairly when he is always playing with the second and third team offense ? He should be given a fair chance to win the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 How can EJ be evaluated fairly when he is always playing with the second and third team offense ? He should be given a fair chance to win the job. Becasue he did so well against a 3rd string D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayman Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Nice finish but he hasn't earned anything more than he has been given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I agree with the OP. I understand practice and training camp time, but you got to put him on the field and give him a chance. The blocking, receivers, everything is just different when you are out there against 3rd stringers. If Tyrod is the man, so be it. But it just doesn't feel like EJ is getting a fair shake at this point. He was our first round pick and only played a little over one season. Besides, if it is Tyrod, then I think EJ should be the back-up as 5 mil is too much to pay a back-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 They may follow the natural rotation they started with and give him first reps next week before deciding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 They may follow the natural rotation they started with and give him first reps next week before deciding I honestly have no idea what they are going to do. I predict maybe TT gets half the first team reps and Casell the oth half and they start TT in the Steeler game. I think EJ made the team if he hadn't already but he's probably still #3. They know what they have with Cassell. Maybe they give EJ a couple drives with the ones next week but I don't predict it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 No need to see Cassel. EJ first half vs Pitt TT second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The coaching staff and media have seemed to have moved on from EJ. So have I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is Yuri? Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 EJ can't compete with T-Mobile. Taylor was on fire. Even his misses were pretty. EJ was good. He'll make a good backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 We don't have a viable QB on the roster. How long have we been saying that dammit. I see little chance of this team making it to the playoffs until Whaley finds someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Too far into this process to pretend EJ is still in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marioc Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 He is done. He routinely throws behind receivers. Talented physical skills but not enough feel for timing. We've seen this movie and the staff has enough film on him . TT for the started job and Cassell for the veteran backup for when TT gets pummeled by running around so much.

inkman Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The coaches haven't at all. IMHO? Nothing I've seen or heard tells me they want EJ anywhere near a football opening day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 IMHO? Nothing I've seen or heard tells me they want EJ anywhere near a football opening day. They did give him an entire half tonight...

Kelly the Dog Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 IMHO? Nothing I've seen or heard tells me they want EJ anywhere near a football opening day.Rex said we are keeping three a couple different times. He also said when he had time tonight "he was outstanding." He started EJ in the scrimmage and EJ was the best of the three in the scrimmage. He played well in the game last week. It's the media guys that have buried EJ. That said, I think EJ is #3 still based on the fact he still misses too many. But he's clearly got better. Rex also said tonight right now I think we have three quarterbacks who can play and they haven't decided who will start next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 IMHO? Nothing I've seen or heard tells me they want EJ anywhere near a football opening day. I would wager a fair amount of money they know exactly who is 99% likely to start Game 1. They may still want to see a few things so as to cement their decision, and the backup job may still be up for grabs...but they know who their #1 is. They aren't going to say a thing about that in public, of course. Not yet anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
