If Not Jake?


Recommended Posts

Look at how ineffective he was later in the season last year when he started facing good defenses. With Portis's production falling it was quite clear to everyone that when the pressure was on Campbell he couldn't get it done.

I didn't see him throwing 4-5 picks against Oakland and Arizona.

When the running game was stopped it was quite clear to everyone when the pressure was on Delhomme he couldn't get it done.

The running game wasn't nearly as effective early in the season and yet *gasp* we still won games. In 2004, 2005 and 2006 our running game sucked and *gasp* we still won games. Jake's best year was one of our worst years for running the football. Come on man at least bring SOMETHING to the table.

3 games the running game was shut down completely.

Minnesota

Tampa Bay (1)

Arizona (2)

in all 3 of these games Jake didn't play well at all.

Irrelevant. The Arizona and Oakland games were in 2008.

I don't hate the guy. I appreciate how he competes and is fired up every week. Let's face it though - he's AVERAGE in every sense of the word. This is a Quarterback and Coach driven league. We're average both ways. Spare me the exceptions but the teams with elite QBs are the teams that win. Unfortunately for us that now includes Ryan and the Falcons.

Ryan is not elite. He had a pretty good season for a rookie, that's it. He has the potential to be good or maybe even elite, but he's not there yet.

Hi guys,I'm new here and its great.I have been reading and one thing is clear.It seems that no one remembers what a true quaterback is. Jake has had the good fortune of having some of the best recievers in the game.He is fortunate that he led an expansion team to thier first superbowl and was competative,(because of some of the greatest catches I have ever seen a reciever make) in that one game he won so many casual fans its amazing. But the real is that we are never going to win the big one with him as quaterback.Without the quality recievers he has he is average at best,when you really need him less than average.As far the question there is no better option now. The coaching staff and GM have let every decent option that has bee there pass on by.This tells me that we have no intention of winning andthat is very disappointing to me as a fan.It is time for a new start coaching staff and quaterback.There is no way Jake should be our starter on opening day.

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
