    The POINT was that someone said his first game was only an an average performance for an NFL QB. I was just pointing out the FACT that it is not an average performance because IF he averaged that, he'd be a top 10 QB...which is not average.

    I understand there are reasons to give up on Jake. He's been hurt a lot, and he's played poorly the last 2 games. And yes, given a new offense, his limited number of starts and a lot of pressure from a leaky OL and miscommunication, he has not always looked cool and composed in the pocket.

    However, he has shown the ability to play well and be an above average QB. Is that any guarantee he will do that for 16 games or even 8? No. But I'm not willing to throw away the season to see what the other guys can do....especially if even YOU don't think they give us a better chance to win. So if I understand your perspective, you think the season is lost and just want to see what CW and Mett can do to figure it out for next year. I get that.

    But my perspective is that you give this team the best chance to win now unless you can no longer make the playoffs. Then, and only then, do I play players for next year. Mind you, giving this team the best chance to win doesn't mean Jake gets a free ride no matter what. He has to play to a certain level like everyone else or get replaced.

    I think you saw from CW's performance/stats, our QB's aren't getting much help!!!

    First off, most of the miscommunication that has been talked about is regarding the protection of the QB...which is why we have given up free rushers and a lot of pressure...even when we shouldn't have (ie...we have more blockers than rushers).

    But even though I don't know which specific situation you are referring to, YOU said he didn't speak to the WR. Considering the camera doesn't follow the QB 24/7, you can't know IF it was addressed. YOU are the one making a claim he didn't do something. We are pointing out simply that you can't know that.

    So to make an assumption on something you don't know is not very fair.

    I'm just honestly not convinced Jake gives us the best chance to win anymore. I agree with you that going to Mett at this point would be like effectively giving up on the season. But CBJ didn't look bad yesterday. In fact he looked noticeably better than Jake did the previous two weeks. Plus he already has been in Whiz's system for a year.

    If he could play like that consistently I'd take that all day every day over the Jekyll and Hyde play we've been getting from Jake Locker. I couldn't care less if Jake has the higher ceiling of he's routinely taking gigantic dumps on the field.
