They are wearing Jake out this morning. All they keep talking about is how long do we leave him in if he continues to lose games for us. They have talked about it at least a dozen times on and off all morning.

I didn't pay much attention to it until they had Jaworski on, and he said it's time to give the other QB's a chance. His reasoning was that you can't continue to leave a QB in that singlehandedly continues to lose games for you.

Just thought I would share, because it's amazing we are getting all this attention now(bad as it may be), but the organization can't see it.

what makes me scared is that they might throw feeley in before moore.

This.

It drives me crazy, let Moore ride the roster as a backup QB for a couple seasons, then as soon as "his purpose" is apparent, sign a QB with no experience in our system/playbook and move Moore down the depth chart. RAWR! :mad2:

my confidence in their ability to make good moves is waning.

I would be more upset over this move than any personell position this team has ever made. I don't know if Moore is any good or better than Feeley, but it is time to find out. We know Feeley sucks. He is a career backup that Miami gave the opportunity to start. That went badly. He has more career ints than tds.

This is Moore's 3rd year in the league. I understand that they don't believe he is ready to be the starter, that is one reason Jake is still the starter. But if they don't have the confidence of him being the #2 over Feeley, who was been here for 4 days, then he shouldn't be on this team, and he will never be the starter. If Jake can't reel it in, and they don't believe Matt can take over for him, he shouldn't have made this roster.

Yeah I ripped on Whitlock b/c from his article his fat ass had never even watched one of our games. Jaws has watched our games, broken down film on our team (especially Jake), and had been a supporter of Jake... So, coming from him, is a HUGE difference than coming from from some fat f*ck that was just waiting for a story to talk about as if he had known about it all along...

I consider Jaws perspective on Jake a lot like my own. I had never been a "Jake lover," but I recognized him for what he was. He was a Top 10 QB for several years in this league. Made a Pro Bowl, went to 2 NFCG and a Superbowl... That's not a fluke. Now, it can be argued that those results were more b/c of the team than his own leadership and abilities, but I think he had a lot to do with it. I gave him credit where credit was due.

But now, I think we're ready for a changing of guard... He's gotta be on a VERY short leash this week. B/c he has single-handedly lost the last two games. Which is what made him so great for us before IMO, was his ability to win games and play when it counted. Many people on this board don't give him credit for the unbelievable amount of 4th quarter comebacks he led. And contrary to the b.s. on this board, you don't comeback late in 4th quarters running the ball.

It just seems he's lost what he had before, and I don't think he can get it back. If he can, that'll make for a great story, if not, it's time to move on. That's why I respect Jaw's opinion, b/c he sees that, and knows what he's talking about. A lot of these other part-time talking heads don't.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
