Smith sounds unhappy about Jake starting

Jake is his friend.

This is the 3rd time he has commented on it....and it is obvious he ain't happy. Not fair to put Smitty is a position to call people out...when Fox has had more than enough time to of done his job. That is what Fox wants....the D is having to already do it. Once the offense has to start calling folks out b/c coaches can't do the obvious.....the team will really fall apart.

Fox just lost the team w/ this move. Sure, he my have Jake on his side and Gross....but the team is lost.

What do you expect your #1 to say. Oh I support you no matter what lol. Smith has a right to be angry and upset. Smith wants a QB who can't give him the ball and do better for this team overall. Even smith relizes Jake time is up. But the coach will not admit it. So thats why Jake remains starter no matter how bad he does.

I think loosing the team will depend on what happens this weekend in Arizona, it's starting to unravel for fox and Co. If jake blows up, then Fox is out just because it will become apparent that he has lost the team.

I love how folks on here take one non definitive statement and try and extropolate their own feelings here. All Smith said was that it wasn't his decision and he would go along with whatever was decided.

That was it. All the unhappy stuff is being manufactured. Smith is smart enough not to go either way. If he says he is happy then if Jake gets pulled it starts another storm. If he says he is unhappy, then there is a storm about the rift between he and Jake. So he takes the diplomatic route and doesn't go one way or the other.

Anything else is in your imagination at least until he clarifies one way or the other.

You missed this one. It's not what he said its how he said it.

    • A new coach coming in after what I think was one of the biggest clusters of a team last year and giving your first overall QB a chance isn't to crazy.  You really don't know until you get on the field and Canales saw what we all saw.  Bryce Young was not good enough to start.  But Canales, the staff and numerous other coaches who called about trading for BY thought he might be salvageable.   I agree with you that I don't think it smart or probable that BW would put up 300 yards and 3td.  That is why Canales isn't asking or expecting him to do that.  Yet. And even that "Yet" is just a possibility but it's too freaking hard to find a QB in the NFL and there were to many other factors last year to say BW is a total bust and move on.  Especially when moving on right now means a big trade, some QB off a practice squad or running with some UDFA. The worst thing would be stuck in 6-8 wins a season but that would be a hell of a lot better than the last few year but I get and agree with your point.  My point is simply that the possibility that BW turns it around and becomes a good QB is much more likely than Dalton or any other QB we could get giving us a better chance to win games and improve long term. The only thing I've continued to preach is he's the best option currently and going forward but that doesn't mean we don't bring in other players to improve and get better.  History has shown that this place is ready to cut bait way to early on players with little regard to the alternative, or other factors that play a role in a players success. I'd love to enjoy a win without being told repeatedly over and over by the same people why we are still a failure.  The whole yeah we won but... I'm not arguing and I don't think anyone else actually thinks that your QB throwing for 126 yards is a recipe for winning but I think most people would like to feel good about a win instead of focusing on the host of things we need to continue to improve upon to be a yearly contender.  Trust me, no one is going to forget we still have a long way to go.
    • Drops. Penalties on TD throws. Fumbles.  we did a lot to make Bryce’s day look pretty ordinary. He still looked light years better than the first 2 weeks.  all we could hope for is progress and we’re getting it. 
    • I like allar and the qb from LSU as second round options. I'm coming more on board with taking the best defensive player available in the first. Hopefully that's a DE.
