Yeah, he was bad in the first half. Makes you wonder if taking all the starter snaps in camp and preseason vs. splitting snaps in a farce of a"QB competition" with the worst starting QB in recent NFL memory might have been helpful.

I think it was 100% nerves. He's on a new team, he is the most talked about player in the NFL (literally trending on twitter everyday), He has his baker bros but he also has his irrational haters. Probably let the pressure get to him. I  think he'll calm down.

blame falls here:

  • poor plan. no quick adjustments when plan wasn't working.
  • left rookie by himself in his first start against premier DE.
  • wrong choice of center.
  • not enough time in camp for starting OL to develop chemistry (thanks to "competition")
  • baker not having enough time with the starters (thanks to "competition")

Isn't it wild that this team has him AND PJ on the same team?   The level of Suck-itude must be astronomical.

      Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."

      Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...

      Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
