thebandit27 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Congrats Cardele!! Just show a little confidence and the backup position is yours. Imo Based on what a few of us have heard out of OTAs, he needs to show a helluva lot more than confidence. He's lost out there right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Based on what a few of us have heard out of OTAs, he needs to show a helluva lot more than confidence. He's lost out there right now Which is not really suprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's lost out there right now The guy is set up to over-achieve. We should all be excited for him. He is not as raw as the media is making him out to be. He is more talented than our current backup and just needs to show confidence. I will not be surprised to see him as our 2. Imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones has an excellent opportunity to be brought along really slowly and work on all those mechanical things that need coached up. Just use the year that we have with EJ Manuel as a clipboard holder.

He is more talented than our current backup and just needs to show confidence. I will not be surprised to see him as our 2. Imo I half agree: he's got as much physical ability as anybody; I've seen him play in person more than once. The arm talent is obvious. I actually wasn't referring to media when I referenced his performance in OTAs. There were multiple accounts from people in attendance (two from this board that PM'd me separately) that aren't media that said he's simply lost out there. Now, that's not to say that he can't eventually become the backup, but he's got a long way to go in terms of getting up to the speed of the game before picking up Roman's offense even becomes his #1 priority.

simpleman Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I just hope D.Lee is CJ's best buddy and spends 50% of his day coaching up CJ to become the best he can be this year.Don't waste too much effort on EJ. He met his ceiling a long time ago and hit it hard enough to require the concussion protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He met his ceiling a long time ago and hit it hard enough to require the concussion protocol. Except that given where Cardale is in the developmental process, it's quite probable that EJ will still be the first guy off the bench if Tyrod has an injury (**crosses fingers**), so EJ's going to need as much coaching as anyone. Not to mention that Tyrod is hardly a savvy vet at this point, so he'll need coaching points as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 no qb coach and go into the season with only 2 rookies at QB on the active roster, which stays that way until week 6 when one gets hurt. 2013, ya'll.

Augie Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I actually hope not. C. Jones has an excellent opportunity to be brought along really slowly and work on all those mechanical things that need coached up. Just use the year that we have with EJ Manuel as a clipboard holder. Yes, ideally C. Jones is brought along very slowly, and the only thing EJ holds all year is the clipboard. NOT game balls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Yes, ideally C. Jones is brought along very slowly, and the only thing EJ holds all year is the clipboard. NOT game balls! I respectfully disagree. I hope we go 14-1 and lock up home field advantage, and EJ gets the start in the meaningless finale against the Jets.

This is my kinda fun ! nice plot twist Hondo. Jones is likely in good hands with a sound plan. No Seriously ! I dont mind EJM backing up this year. Who knows maybe Fitz will still be available mid season if things get ugly. But let Jones get raised right. If he gets his footing sooner then later ? Great. but right now he is just calling the plays in. basic as it gets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 If he is ever going to develop into something on the NFL level, he is a great situation for that. No pressure and can learn from coaches who aren't coming from a mediocre college program. What a time to be alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
