I bet you never thought you would be arguing that point at the beginning of the session. 

I feel like I'm in some alternate reality where I would have said that about PJ. But he literally is the best QB we have right now.  I can't believe I typed that. 

Imagine if a team had given him 4 years of chances like Sam or Baker. He's at what 5 games?

I don't know what it is but I can't help to be a PJ fan these days. The team looks invigorated with him behind center and Rhule's ass gone. PJ has at least proven he will be a good backup for this team but right now I think he is the absolute best we have and needs to continue to start to see if he can develop even further. I'm sentimental though as I love a feel good story and would enjoy seeing PJ and Steve Wilks turn the team around together and both land jobs for next year.

With the cap and draft situation next year it doesn't really make sense to blow everything up anyway. Give them both a full offseason, maybe draft a QB to sit for the start of the year, if it doesn't work out 2024 is the time to wipe the slate clean

Well to be fair he's had a few years here under Rhule and it hasn't helped him.

The truth is PJ is playing for his nfl life right now.  What he does with this opportunity will determine if he gets another shot here or somewhere else next season. Believe or not I'm rooting for him to succeed even though I doubt he will. But I like his determination.  He's easy to root for.

He's already got an NFL roster spot next year based on the last 2 games.  Someone will sign him to be a backup if we don't keep him.

Yeah the whole bringing Cam in last year was a mess all around and was a waste of PJ's opportunities. The whole Rhule era was about getting the job, and then throwing random poo at the wall hoping that something would cover up the fact that he had no clue what to do with anything relating to actual x's and o's. At least that phase is over

Pretty much the same player. Good enough to win a few games, but also remind you why they’re not a franchise QB due to inconsistency .  

PJ is a solid backup but just like first half today he will not be able to carry this team into the future.   He has limitation in seeing the field and missing wide open throws.

Well I don't believe that I've seen anyone say that he is our future. He has earned some respect though, and has proved that he should be on a roster. 

If we think about it, since being committed to, P.J. is playing his best football. Sometimes guys need time and opportunity. I believe that was only his fifth start. He can get even better more than likely.

PJ has proven he can win more than one game.   I mean he literally has won games all 3 seasons he has been a backup.  

he played well enough to win today too.  That’s football though.  

 

He was a direct cause of us losing. If Forman didn't run over ATL this game wouldn't have been close.

He doesn't have to be the guy. He just has to prove that he belongs here to sit behind the guy in case he may be needed.  We are still looking for the guy.

We have had one of the worst QB rooms in the NFL for too long now to the point some people apparently have stockholm syndrome as a result.

Sam Darnold - pick six

Baker Mayfield - pick six

PJ Walker - pick six

One might look slightly better than the other on different gamedays but none of them are starters.

      Well that's part of where the disconnect is then, you think Chark was a "solid NFL player" I couldn't disagree more, he's someone who had one solid NFL season and then was at best a JAG the rest of his career, I wouldn't call that a "solid NFL player" If he was a #3 WR and put up the stats he did outside of that 1 season, then sure, he's a "solid NFL player" but he put up those numbers as the #1 WR in 3 of his 4 seasons that he had meaningful roles and the #2 in a high powered offense the 4th.   That's not good and not what I'd call a "solid NFL player"

      Everything always makes sense in hindsight. Hell, I've seen guys who were touted by everyone as slam dunk "safest player in the draft" type prospects bust massively. Remember Aaron Curry? Robert Gallery? I'm just never going to say that a prospect is definitely a better NFL player than a solid NFL player. Better as a prospect? Sure, you can always make those arguments. But ultimately it comes down to what you do on Sundays and what you did on Saturdays just isn't relevant when you're talking about who's the better NFL player.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. Look at it this way, without even knowing what the rest of Chark's career turned out to be, would anyone seriously say they'd take Chark after the 2019 season over today's T-Mac if they somehow were in a draft and we were deciding between the two?  As even after that season, his potential was never what T-Mac's is right now. Even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.
