I mean are we that blind to not have seen this coming? It was as obvious as Kristie Alley's thighs after a bender at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.

Love Jake like family but he was a crushed confidence avalanche that was taking women and children with him on the way down the mountain.

He has given us some great years and memories. But so did Taco Bell after many drug induced evenings. I grew up and moved over to some new menus.

If you didn't see this coming please go to youtube or NFL.com and just hang around some Jake videos. Grab some doritos and a yoohoo and pay attention to seeing a crash test dummy try and throw to the back shoulder in quadruple coverage and then after wiping the crumbs from your eyes come back and tell us all why he should have stayed.

Has watching the Amazing Race and American Idol or Tool Academy snapped our objectivity like a twig so bad that we were optimistic Jake could keep Matt Moore at bay??

like any retarded concept such as the idea that we were better off keeping delhomme, someone on the carolinahuddle is guaranteed to try to rationalize it.

easy on the doritos and yoohoo, though. it's late and we wouldn't want a lot of people mixing too much nacho cheese and chocolate

I will be interesting to hear why they cut him. it didn't save any money and we have to pay someone to take his place so it will actually cost more this way. They also could have waited to see how he played in camp to make the decision. I suspect that he was let go early so he had a chance to sign with another team and because there were still players loyal to him like Williams and they wanted to establish Moore as the unquestioned quarterback.

But it surely wasn't clear that he would be cut. Look how many folks were deathly frightened Fox would name him the starter this year.

This offseason may be the most interesting in years.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
