mannc Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Anyone who today, after a few series against scrubs, wants Jones moved to #2 should have their head examined.Maybe not now, but quite possible (or even likely) by the end of the year.

Doc Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Yep, gimmick QB that has been figured out. Its Douggie Flutie all over again. Hey, it's a theory. I'll let this season play out before making that claim myself, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thurst44 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Yep, gimmick QB that has been figured out. Its Douggie Flutie all over again. So, we'll go 11-5 and possibly have a playoff run (i have no doubt flutie would have beat tennessee - they were very beatable that day if our qb hadn't spent the first half getting sacked)?

NoSaint Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 That Jax game says otherwise. id encourage you to watch some more around the league when starters go out. and not just the highlight reels of a guys best game or two. there are only about 20 guys in the nfl you want to take snaps on sunday, so it should be no surprise when #45 in the league has issues.

FireChan Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 That's some keen insight. I will try to match it: Some things are different from others. Listen, at the end of the day, EJ doesn't have it. I don't trust EJ. He's turned into a quiviering pile of goo on multiple occasions. I'd rather start Tebow.

thurst44 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 And you're ready to trust EJ after Jacksonville? It's a wash, but no one is trading for EJ. Look, I'm not an active EJ defender at this point, and not sure that I trust him overall, but why does he get zero credit for gaining composure after his complete mental/skills breakdown, and getting it together and coming back from a 28-3 deficit to win the game (if it weren't for one of the worst phantom PI calls I've ever witnessed).

chris heff Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Nothing happens with EJ. You think that our back up QB is bad? How about Indy? Yikes! Jones was fun to watch, but like most college QBs he stared down every receiver he threw to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Yep, gimmick QB that has been figured out. Its Douggie Flutie all over again. Tyrod, left handed and on one knee can throw the ball better than Flutie ever could in any fashion. Not even close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. That wouldn't fit the narrative he's been pushing with EJ for the last couple years.. Your backup QB is supposed to be better than your starter, didn't you know that.. EJ's not great but he looks calmer than I ever remember seeing him. If Tyrod got hurt and they put Cardale in too soon it could hurt he's development, save him for next year. There's no rush to get him on the field. Listen, at the end of the day, EJ doesn't have it. I don't trust EJ. He's turned into a quiviering pile of goo on multiple occasions. I'd rather start Tebow. Man you just love to type things to get people going. My bet is you don't believe 50% of what you type. If you do that's scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Maybe not now, but quite possible (or even likely) by the end of the year. Which has exactly zero to do with this ill thought out thread. Exactly. Why? childlike Unfortunately we keep feeding him by responding and adding replies to his thread. I picture him sitting in his bedroom giggling as the responses continue to come in.

eball Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I don't understand these threads...EJ played very competent football last night and folks should be happy about the overall QB situation from top to bottom rather than looking to get rid of EJ. He may be needed at some point this season and I see some results of being in the same system for the 2nd year now. He put the ball in good spots all game last night.

/dev/null Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Only reason to cut EJ at this point is to free up cap space for contract renegotiations/extensions. EJ already knows the system and is less of an unknown quantity than some street Free Agent And there are no trade suitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ already knows the system and is less of an unknown quantity than some street Free Agent And there are no trade suitors His contract is guaranteed. Doesn't free up cap space. Would be 2.8 dead cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
