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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol

      Uh oh, Nicole Tepper hugged him. In all seriousness though every time I see more about him my hopes get higher. Smart, great attitude, prototype size and measurables, and athletic. He could be a great one.
