Where have all the BDJS ers gone?

Why does he deserve a chance? That's something that must be earned. I haven't seen where he's done that.

PS and see post #82

You know what, I'll give you credit. At least you have some reasoning down which I respect. I remember MaineMan giving me some reasoning on another thread as well.

I think Moore being a QB on our team warrants enough for him to start. Jake won't be a starter in this league anymore and Feeley is back-up fodder for the rest of his career now. Forget Training Camp since obviously Jake didn't play that bad in camp. I just want to see what the kid Moore got. Starting Moore now, at worse, will be the same as starting Delhomme.

I can't say I will miss Jake's style of quarterbacking. He was improving before his injury but now he just slings it. He doesn't have the accuracy anymore and he tends to over or underthrow his passes.

How many passes this year have we seen hit smitty or moose in the lower half of the body or sail above or behind them? Too many.

Some of us attended camp and have watched practices. Moore is not just "possibly" terrible. He's not the answer, just hyped because he's the available option. If we're going to blindly pick a starter, why not Feeley? At least he has some significant experience he might be able to call upon.

I will have a compilation like that for Delhomme up soon. Hahaha.

And while I do feel that Moore is not the long term answer some here think he is, I do think he deserves his chance. I would hate for him never to get starts and then move on to have success somewhere else while we have no QB.

To elaborate on my point.

The season is lost. Why not play your backup and at least find out if he should be on the team next year? Even if you saw him in "practice" I do recall Jake looking alright in practice. I recall other QB's not looking so hot in practice and getting it done come game time in this league.

There is nothing to lose by starting him at this point. There is no logic for not seeing what we have in him... even if he does end up being terrible. At least we know. Arguing against it is just doing so for the sake of arguing.

Arguing against it is NOT just doing so for the sake of arguing.

As I've said before, the coaches see what he presents in practice daily. You're suggesting that they should ignore what he shows them then to get a look at him during a "real" game. Do you really want that sort of player in a key position on your team? One that chooses to turn it on and off like a Ryan Leaf? Or would you rather have one that you could count on to fully prepare for every opponent?

PS> What about the fact that, in this case, the players who voted the #1 guy a captain see this guy slacking off in practice and yet getting play over their guy. How's that affect the chemistry?

    • I think starting this week you gotta work in Tremayne out there.   You don't got to bench XL but Tremayne just seems to be clearly a better WR at this stage (despite XL having the physical tools).   I think waiting on Coker is malpractice.    
    • I don't like much about this team BUT WE ARE GONNA WIN THIS THING BABY LETS GOOOOOOO
    • I agree completely.  I’m not absolving XL of his errors and shortcomings, but week 2 was definitely less an issue with him as it was QB and coaching/scheme.     It’s becoming abundantly clear, not just with XL, but with everyone on the offense, our coaches are not crafting a game plan to play to their players’ strengths, but rather they’re creating a game plan and then trying to fit guys into it where each position is treating each player as interchangeable and they’re not.  The breakdown I watched also discussed how no one expected XL to be destroying people with his route running coming out - that would have to be refined.  So, the poo we’re seeing, we can’t really blame him for.  He has gotten open enough often, but the passes are often off-target.  And he would likely excel more as a guy who can threaten with the deep ball to take the top off the defense, but we don’t have a QB that can throw that pass.
