I wouldn't exactly call it a drop.

I would say that any of the Top 5 receivers probably make that catch.

It was a very catchable ball if the receiver plays the ball right.

 

That guy kinda waited for the ball to come to him instead of go attack the TD and haul it in.

 

 

Fair enough, I can't disagree with that. I know when EJ throws a ball like that he is blasted here (by some) for not making a perfect pass. But I agree that a good WR should make the catch--or at least make a better effort.

One thing I noticed (which I always seem to notice with EJ) is EJ always looks very composed. Even after getting sacked, bad penalties, his own fumble---he looked calm and ready to play. That isn't what some people tend to say about him, though.

All of them have had their moments this off- and pre-season.

 

None of them have truly looked like a franchise QB.

 

I kind of think any of them can get us to 10-6 with the defense we have.

 

In my mind, it's still a three man race. I'd like to see more before making a decision.

EJ stretches the field vertically and horizontally with his arm. He's shown he can really throw a pretty out route.

 

Tyrod stretches the play with his mobility.

 

I'm not sure Cassell can do either.

 

The first two will make defenses sit a little back opening up the run. With MC, I'm just afraid everyone pinches down and our run suffers.

 

Admittedly an overly simplistic summary, but I do believe it has some general validity.

The fact that I'm still the only person who voted for MC reinforces how idiotic all of you are.

 

 

:lol:

 

You make a point. He make no mistakes tonight.

I just wanna see EJ take it by the nutsack. I'm dyin' see him beat Sammy, Woods, Clay, in the chest with the ball down the field 17 yrds, in full stride, like Brady does. I know he can do it. I'm dyin' to see this team win again. It's been awhile.

 

Tyrod is great, EJ just seems to have that more pocket passer thing goin' which I like. Anyways, cheers to a helluva season.

Having not seen much of Tyrod till tonight's game, I can see why he's getting the hype. He looks like a starter... Decisive with the ball (other than that one sack), fast, had the offense moving with a good rhythm.

 

EJ, as much as I really want him to succeed, he looks tentative, hesitant almost. The offense seems to stagnate with him, then he pulls out a brilliant series of plays and gets in the end zone, twice. Granted, he had crap for an Oline and blitz pickup and the play calling seemed to go ultra vanilla. But, it's really hard to see him starting over Tyrod based on tonight's game.

 

One thing I do like is Rex Ryan. First, I like that Cassel didn't play tonight. Everyone in the free world knows what he brings to the table and borrowing something completely unforeseen, he's on the team. But, he really needs to see what Tyrod and EJ can do. So, he maximized their playing time. I liked that. Secondly, 50 seconds in the game and the Jawbreaker gives up a 1st down on 4th and 4 with an offsides, and Rex was hot on the side line! It's nice to see a coach actually wanting to win, even in preseason.

Tryod played well. EJ did OK, too. I'd like to see more from each (and Cassell to be honest). Too early to tell, for me. But right now, I have no problem with Tyrod getting the starting nod. Better have someone prepared, though, if he gets injured.

 

At this point, I think they have to keep all three. Simms is a non-factor. If they trade one of these guys, then they go with two QBs, IMO.

Given the watered down nature of preseason playcalling and all of the injuries I don't know what more you can legitamtely ask to see. Cassel made the throws he can make in game 1. Taylor showed off his improvisation skills in game 1 and tonight. He also showed an ability to hit timing routes from the pocket, buy time in the pocket, etc. EJ, in spite of having to play with Kuppart and the gang has aquitted himself well. He has also shown ability to improvise, and hit throws (although the drops he gets are crazy.). He is the best arm of the three hands down. He showed consistent accuracy tonight wich was nice to see.

 

To me Taylor is the guy bc he's been consistent in the games and offers a dimension that Cassel never will. Cassel is a break glass in case of emergency type of guy. I think they keep all three however and Simms goes to PS. EJ is still a guy they can develop. Kolb's issues screwed up the original plan. I think they still want to work w/ EJ. And if Taylor got hurt, EJ can still run the same offense they would use for Taylor. He's not as explosive as Taylor, but he can move well.
