Jake hasn't showed me enough that he even has 1 year left in him much less 2 or 3.

While he may be getting up there in age he also wasn't starting for quite some time which really can extend someone's career. His throws tonight were some of the best I've seen from him since his TJ surgery.

It's good you pointed out that Buress was in New York in 05, because big ben was a rookie in 04. Check your facts before you correct someone ;)

Trust me, as a fan of the Steelers, it wasn't Plax or Hines that makes Ben good.

I tend to agree, I'm one of his biggest defenders and supporters, but his career is drawing to a close.

Yeah, I mean...he was on one of the best offensive teams in the league talent wise last year, yet he stunk up about half of the year. That's why it is incredibly laughable to me someone can say he'll magically turn it around this year and be able to continue it for another 2-3 years even after people have been reporting that he still hasn't looked so good in camp and after the 1st preaseason game stinker. He was OK today though, just a normal average day, but we all know he is very inconsistant.

I agree about tonight. Not only did his throws look good, but he did a really good job of feeling the pressure and still making a good pass. Also, I remember one play where he took a hit like a champ and made a pretty good pass that was dropped.

For not having Smitty or Moose, Jake looked very good in the pocket tonight.

Hell he was 5-7, and that was with the dropped pass from Barnidge. That and the throws were dead on the money, he's never been that accurate.

I always have doubts about picking someone up that some other team thinks about benching or releasing altogether.

For me, Campbell isn't that big of an upgrade in potential ability and a likely downgrade in leadership.

He's been a captain of his football and basketball team in college and has lead the redskins for two years. He's not a bad leader by any stretch.

It's also extremely common for a QB to be released or traded regardless of how good they are when there's a coaching change.

Kansas City, Atlanta, Tampa, Denver, Miami, New York, Cleveland all went through this in recent times.

The Chiefs, Falcons, Bucs, Dolphins and Jets all desperately needed QB's though...

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO

      The season is over, and we're going to get clowned on by Mayfield and Darnold before it's over.

      Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years

      Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
