ALF Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I would like to see EJ play first half against Steelers, Taylor second half. They know what Cassel can do in the past. With so many WRs and RBs out its difficult to judge any QB. Difficult to get any chemistry going. 4th preseason game means keep starters out and safe, look at back ups before final cut.

Give EJ his chance. If he fails so be it. I can live with knowing it vs being in doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 That has been less an issue this preseason. But it was a huge problem last year. I agree, this year I remember him throwing behind Woods on a crossing route during the night scrimmage and that was it (that I could watch) Then against the Panthers he threw perfect strikes to O'Leary and Gray that they dropped, against the Browns he threw one to Gragg that allowed him to turn the corner and get the 1st down. It seems like last year he kind of pushed the ball on those kind of plays, as if he didn't trust the read of the play. There were several misses last year that if he had stepped into the throw the results would have been better. We're seeing those improvements this year.

Rocky Landing Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I think this three-way competition has been distracting enough. If the coaches feel that they know enough to turn this into a two-way competition, or even declare a starter, they should. If they're considering EJ as being in third place (as has been suggested by numerous outlets), then start treating him like third string. We have to start preparing for the Colts.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Did Simms get any reps with the 1st team yesterday? No. Rex said he may get in against the Steelers and will play the majority of the game against the Lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihilarian Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 As it stands right now I don't think starting EJ with such a depleted supporting cast will do him much good, as the coaches seem to have already made up their minds. From what I've been reading here it looks like it was a foregone conclusion that EJ was history until he stepped up and played really well in those first two pre season games. Now it looks like the team will be keeping EJ on the roster after all as third string. EJ supporters should be happy he is being given a chance to sit, watch and learn behind an experienced veteran QB with some actual NFL coaches tutoring him. That combination should result in a properly developed QB by next year. Would I like the idea of EJ starting this season behind that power run game with all the weapons healthy in his supporting cast, heck yes! This team needs to find its long term starter! Saying that I'm not entirely convinced that Taylor and his great scrambling ability is the answer. The team needs that dominate pocket passer. Perhaps Taylor will convince me in this next game against the Steelers. Anyway, It looks like Greg Roman choose Cassel, and wants him to start. Rex Ryan's choice was Tyrod Taylor Matt Cassel supporters should be happy because it looks like he will be starting the season, and Taylor fans should also be happy that despite being the backup he might get a chance to run the wildcat for two point conversions, and at other times.
