What is not to like?? We have an average quarterback who is 9-3 this year, has 3 come from behind victories, and has a 5-2 record in the playoffs. After we win tonight we will be in first place in the division.

Compare that to last year when we were closer to 5-7 without him.

Jake is great at times, bad at others, and really bad when everyone else is bad.

I can't knock him some of the picks he threw cause they all were off of our receivers tipping the ball up in the air.

I would like to see a little more consistency in his throws, too many balls sail.

Jake is average...but we can win with average, if he can be CONSISTENTLY so. With a QB (especially when a team is making a playoff run), you gotta know what you can count on. This is what keeps Jake from being a top-tier QB. You can't count on him to perform the same week in and week out. If I were a coach, I'd rather have a QB with a 75% rating every game, than have one who is 100% one game and 50% the next. That being said, you gotta love Jake's fire!

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
