I've got no animosity towards him, I wish him the best of luck in Cleveland. Except when he plays us, of course.

Same. I really wish the guy the best, hopefully he goes on to bring that organization out of the shitter. When he plays the Panthers though, get your popcorn ready. It's gonna be bad...

I agree. But there will be a lot of people on this board who would be genuinely annoyed if he goes out and has a good season. And that's kind of sad.

Amongst co-workers and friends, I defended Jake for years. Pointing out his win-loss record, his passer rating, TD/Int ratio....

Until last year... I couldn't defend him anymore. He choked in the Arizona playoff game, and after game 4 of 2009, I knew he was done. And he continued to choke till his "injury".

Pro Sports are a brutal thing. People in them go to work and have thousands if not millions of people critiquing their work. The highest level of success in a sport is almost anti-climatic... because one day, when your body or mind gives out, there's no where else to go but down... or out.

Jake was a great QB for us. He took us to the Super Bowl once and almost did a second time. He helped us become a legit contender for several years, and was a positive role model for the team.

However, all good things come to an end. I don't really like how they abruptly dismissed him... but it was time. I agree with him being released.

Now... the reality of the future...

If he goes to Cleveland and has a productive/mediocre year, I'll be happy for him. Maybe he will be able to recapture some respect with Cleveland.

Likewise if he stutters and has a terrible year, I'll feel some empathy for the guy, because I know he'll be shuffled out the door, and honestly deserves better.

But if he goes to Cleveland and rivals Drew Brees's performance last year... yes... I'm going to be pissed. I will be pissed at him for not showing up like that last year here, and will be pissed at our coaches for not bringing that out in him for many years.

I have a feeling that he'll get more empathy than anything else from me though.

      Rookies

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Dan's been part of 5 drafts, 3 as an assistant to the "last guy" and 2 leading the way. The first 3 with Fitts were pretty ugly overall. Last year's draft, his 1st, isn't looking hot. This year looking like a winner.  He's been part of some bad FA decisions, some good ones, and right now we have the most expensive OL in the league with our franchise LT on the last year of his rookie deal. That's going to get even more expensive.  I'm not ready to crown him as a GM god quite yet because one good year isn't making up for all the bad that's been done the previous 4.

      It is what it will be. I’m over bitching about Young myself. It changes nothing about the situation to constantly complain about him so I personally am not going to do it. I’m looking for another target because this one is played out and it changes nothing.
