Kelly the Dog Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 You wouldn't argue it. I think TT should start and Cassel should probably be the backup. I also think people are crazy if they don't think that EJ has improved or played well when it counts. My biggest problem with him has been accuracy and making good decisions. He's been pretty damn accurate. He threw about 4-5 great NFL passes last night. Great passes. Three of which were in the endzone and one of which was a dart to the one yard line for first and goal. One of which was on fourth down with the game and maybe his season on the line. That's good play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 How? He got his chance. The coaches gave it to him. EJ with the scrimmage, Cassel with game 1 and Tyrod with game 2. That was the plan and that's what happened. So, just for my own clarification ... you think a scrimmage = 1Q of a preseason game. Is that correct?

26CornerBlitz Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 And He did so well with a 3rd string O! Anyone else throw a TD pass this preseason??????? Of the QBs currently on the roster, it's only who EJ has TD passes in games or game like scenarios thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffaloed in Pa Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Familiarity with Roman's offense and his offseason work with DeBerg seem to now be paying dividends with improved performances. The guy has maintained a positive attitude and continued to work hard on his game. Good for him! Like Gruden said last night. E.J. just does not give up. He has gotten better. Like him or not.

Pirate Angel Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Seems like ej is still ej...5-6 wtf plays followed by one play thats good to great. He plays football like I golf, very erratic and inconsistant but every once in awhile I do something beautiful. Unfortunately it's not OK to be a hacker qb in the NFL, but its perfectly fine to suck at golf in your personal life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridge Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 And yet, no one can explain how they are different for QB evaluation. If scrimmage = preseason, then EJ has 3 TDs in about 3 or 4 quarters of play. I'm not sure how that helps your "argument". Your single sentence retorts are not as witty as you think they might appear. They're routinely dismissive and elitist. The below example is particularly insulting and I'm not sure your points merit any sort of consideration since you don't give anyone else the time. Prime example: I think TT should start and Cassel should probably be the backup. I also think people are crazy if they don't think that EJ has improved or played well when it counts. My biggest problem with him has been accuracy and making good decisions. He's been pretty damn accurate. He threw about 4-5 great NFL passes last night. Great passes.

My argument is that EJ has gotten time with the ones. I don't care if he was great, bad or exploded in the middle of the field. You still can't explain why scrimmages are different for QB evaluation. No one can. You're telling me EJ was good. Which is irrelevant. Edited August 21, 2015 by FireChan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsurdam Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Haters gonna Hate... If you are an EJ hater you don't want him to succeed. And, everyone saying "oh he did it against the 3rd string..." Well , that's who they put in front of him. That's not his fault. This is what I am saying... If you don't give him a chance with the first team you aren't giving him a fair chance to win the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico 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.Based off what he did yesterday, I have to agree. Bottom line, he got the job done when it counted.
