To hell with it, I still like Jake

I think folks are forgetting that Jake spent ALL LAST OFF SEASON rehabing from the elbow deal.

Now he can focus on getting better this off season. And I dont doubt for one minute that he wont be 150% commited to being a better QB for us.

You dont get to be a starter in the NFL as an undrafted player because you dont want to win or get better.

Jake will be just fine, and I EXPECT better from him.

Everyone talks about guys like Manning but forget the 3-13 season as a rookie and other games like getting killed by the pats in the playoffs.

every QB has growing pains. This is just one for him.

We will be ok.

Can't agree with you on either of those.
Hasselback had a 57.something rating this year and Garrard's had only one good year since he's been in the league. You don't have to agree, but I sure don't see what kind of argument you have for either of them.

Can't stay mad at him--he's done way too much for the franchise to let one game spoil it all.

Who thinks he's going to come out absolutely smoking early next season to remove the stench of the playoff game? A couple of years ago he had an awesome TD to INT ratio, I bet he does it again. :)

I like Jake. Dude had a bad game. End of story.

I really don't think the Tommy John had much ill effect on him this season. If anything, he looked better throwing the ball. Jake's problems are more about his decision-making, and holding the ball a little long. It doesn't help that he hasn't had much help in the QB coaching department.

But you're right... he'll probably work his ass off to get better. Too bad that we can't give him someone better to coach him. For that matter, it's too bad McCown and Moore only have such a poor excuse for a QB coach.

I'm not talking as much physically, I'm thinking more psychologically: he's trying too hard, he's overcompensating, he's trying to prove his worth and in turn makes too many mistakes by forcing plays. I think if he just gets used to his arm, probably (hopefully) gets a bit more accurate he could be Cool Jake like he used to be. (at least when he had really good games). Usually coming back from injury, you have something to prove i.e.. Steve Smith 2005. He probably needs the offseason to settle down.

Why would I smile? I was cursing him and his shitty QBing like I've done for years. I'd take Steve Beuerlein over him 9 out of 10 times.

Why does he deserve my respect? The guy makes millions of dollars only to poo the bed against Arizona....this was ARIfugingZONA. Your kumbayah everything will be ok attitude is nauseating.

Sorry but we havent had our "Joe Montana" yet.

Truth is the truth.......

We haven't had all that long to try yet but hopefully we strike gold one day.(i just hope that isn't at time when our defense really sucks or we have no run game)

It would be our luck to get a badass QB, but surround him with a shitty squad.

Hey, Jake takes this personally. He was broken in the post-game presser. I wanted to hug him. It wasn't his fault except for the funble. The run game that got us to the playoffs was abandoned and the D sucked and put more pressure on him. Fox and Turd deserve all the blame.

What the hell? 5 INTs and a fumble not his fault? You got to be kidding. Every single one of those were his fault. Im tired of people making excuses for him or diverting his bad play to someone else's poor execution.

Let's look at Jake's bad game/game total this year.

The bad games:

Vikings loss

Tampa loss

Atlanta loss

Arizona loss (Giants loss was a good game by jake)

13 good games/17 total games = 76.5% good games per total games.

Who can we get that's better?

No one will answer that question.

No, he had 7 bad games:

Bears win

Vikings loss

Tampa loss

Atlanta loss

Tampa win

Oakland win

Arizona loss

    • Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......
    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
