I know, another Jake thread. But this one isn't about money or hate.

If Jake is the starter, he would have to go back to QB 101. He doesn't have his safety net - just throw it up and let Steve catch it. He would have to make plays himself. It could be a good thing for him.

You make it sound as if Steve is some sort of god. You realize almost every single one of his picks this last season and in the Arizona playoff game came trying to get it to Steve.

nah not really.

Jake has shown plenty of times in his career that he's a perfectly acceptable QB without Steve Smith. I always thought Jake was better when Smith wasn't on the field.

Against the Falcons twice and cardinals last year Jake showed he can still be at least replacement level, so he'll be an upgrade at QB if he can just fix his head.

That's the point I was trying to make. His safety net was Steve, but if Steve couldn't make a play, it was usually INT. Maybe I shoulda said "just throw it up and hope Steve catches it".

My bad. I thought you were saying Jake only got good numbers because he'd randomly throw it up and Steve would always make the play. I got it now. :thumbsup:

no he didn't shut up kill yourself

i hate you because you are classless but yes i was mistaken he posted his

career highs in completions touchdowns and total yards in 2004 without steve smith. that is a fact. it was moose who went to the pro bowl that year. this actually makes the argument stronger as it was his best quarterbacking year in terms of statistics. so thanks fiz

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
