It can't be much worse then the constant 3 and outs and all the turnovers.

If McCown were healthy, benching Jake might be a plausible alternative. With Moore and Feely, you are acting out of emotion more so than rational thought. Consider the following:

1. Philly - Jake sucked.

2. Atlanta - 4th down with pressure. Not a lot of options. Desperation. I would rather have someone throw the ball than take a sack.

3. Dallas interception 1. Lobbed it up there. Bad throw.

4. Dallas interception 2. Smith cut the route off.

Logically, since the Philly game, Jake the individual has not been any worse than the rest of the team. Benching him, with no viable alternatives is not the answer. It might give some fans and media an emotional jolt but it does nothing to increase the teams chances of winning. Later in the season, when/if there is no chance of this team making the playoffs, it would make sense to make the move. Until then, the best course of action is to suck it up.

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
