Ron’s job is on the line this season. Can we all stop crying and let it play out? I know every fan thinks that if your starting QB goes down you should have a Nick Foles waiting in the background, but that is extremely rare. We win or lose this year with Cam. I expect a bad season for our competition as well if Matt Ryan, Brees, or Winston goes down. We are less than two weeks out and we have a vet, and two young qbs we are developing (who already know Norvs complex playbook).

Not sure it's great for team morale to announce publicly 2 weeks before the season starts, "Yeah we know our backup qb situation sucks, but what you gonna do?"

He has said in his interviews that he's not happy with the performance of the backups in the preseason. But at this point, you're probably better off rolling with what you have, hoping Cam stays healthy and the backups get better with time in the meanwhile and if that fails, figuring out plan B next offseason. Bringing in someone last minute is either going to be a qb who can't even make the preseason roster of any of the 32 teams who doesn't know the playbook and has no guarantees of being any better than what we have or we have to give up valuable draft capital for someone else's backup who still has to learn our playbook and has no guarantees of being better than what we have.

This is absurd. This is what happens when you keep a coach too long. They get too comfortable. Too content.

What is absurd is expecting him to say anything else. Even if Hurney was on the phone as we speak Ron would be supporting who we have until the new guy got here. Do you really believe everything you read or hear?

Its not about winning or losing. Obviously you lose you starting qb your season is done, but atleast get a back up qb who can complete a pass over 20 yards. Derek Anderson could. He also could win a game or 2. These 2? Forget about it

Derek Anderson was 2-2 as a starter, his only wins being against the McCown led 2-14 TB Bucs (2014).  Is that really a ringing endorsement?  Grier/Allen could have won those games.

In 2016 he also started two games.  Against the Falcons and Bucs, and lost both.

Grier/Allen not beating any regular season opponents this year.

We have 2 QBs not named Cam under contract who have been in the system for over a year. That's not a bad place to be for backups.

   The last time he said we were “good” at a position, we signed Eric Reid the next day. 

   Just sayin...

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
