The way this played out with Donte, especially what happened as of late, reminds me a lot of what happened with Whitehead last season.

They talked him up, named him a captain, he ends up getting picked on in games, suddenly has a mystery injury pop up and gets demoted/benched, or in this case, IR'd.

The painful truth is that the team has an absolutely stacked CB room and in order for DJack to stay here he's going to have to do it on a team friendly deal.

He was on the upswing, a willing tackler in space that was making plays on the ball. He had a rough outing though the last couple of weeks, getting burnt and showing immaturity despite being one of the older guys in the locker room. That will hopefully allow the team some negotiating room.

They also get to see just how good that depth is. Would it be better to bring back Gilmore instead to play across from Horn with Bouye in the slot while backed up by Henderson, Taylor, and Hartsfield? Can STO3 make a play on a role on the team next year? It'll be an interesting 5 game run to close out, as that last wildcard spot is wide open still.

Agreed, until the last 2 weeks.  And when it went sour, it went sour quick.

Regarding Jackson's problems over the past few weeks, Joe Person quotes Matt Rhule as saying bad things happened because the team's safeties "left Jackson out to dry".

While i'm sure its possible, I trust zero things Matt Rhule says at this point...  and Donte is a guy he talked up and vouched for going into this season.  Donte played well early, but safety help or not, he looked bad the last two weeks in every type of scenario imaginable, and you could tell by some of the plays that safeties had nothing to do with it...  like one on one coverage in zero blitzes.  He just got exposed, and then despite being a captain, acted very immature while dealing with those struggles.

agreed. injury prone speedster had a good year in his contract year. let him walk.

I am also not sure how EVERY fan on this frickin board could clearly see he needed to be traded before the deadline but these "professionals" making millions to decide these things just let him stay and let what has happened happen.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
