If releasing Jake would allow us to keep Gross and Peppers, and maybe get a few key signings with role players (also maybe release Lucas) etc would you be for that and be OK with letting McCown and Moore battle for the role? Honestly, we just need a manager and some passes to Steve Smith, the run game with our o-line back should be good, that is if we get a defense back together that doesn't suck.

I bet steve smith would punch you in the face :D

Ha, maybe, although after Saturday, I don't know for sure.

It's just a question though, if we can keep our O-line and Peppers, then work on the rest of our game, all we need is a manager, someone that doesn't make mistakes and can hit some passes when we need him too. We need to be like Arizona, play to our strengths. It all lands on the shoulders of the defense though.

Not sure if the phrase is correct but.

Do a small evil for a greater good.

I've grown to like jake since he came here. I'm "attached". But to keep our O-line in tact and Keep Pep. Then no contest. Release him. With our oline gel'd and or RB's at the top of their game any QB in our system will look good. I love Jakes fire and intensity but i'd rather have our oline and pep. I've played team sports in HS and College. I was in the army. As soon as you think the world is going to end cause you're loseing a great team leader someone is brought in our steps up from in-house.

I don't want Jake gone. I thought it took CLASS to step up and admit that he played like crap and should be blamed for the lose. Whether he deserves that or not is up for all of us to debate. I'd ask him to restructure his contract with performace bonus or something like that. If that didn't work out well the situation was specifically Jake or Gross/Pep then good-bye and good luck somewhere else jake.

This is a no brainer. Hell yeah Id let Jake go if I could keep my starting LT and DE. At this point Jake only has 1 value to this team and thats getting the ball to Steve Smith. Outside of that everything else he does well is an "intangible" that most starting QBs on good teams have. "He's a leader", "he's fiery", "his teammates look to him" are common themes you hear when describing Jake. Fact is, Jake had 6 years to get it done, and this year had his best offensive unit of his career and still could not do it. Time for someone else to get a chance as our leader.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.

      Anthony Richardson benched

      All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
