Look at how ineffective he was later in the season last year when he started facing good defenses. With Portis's production falling it was quite clear to everyone that when the pressure was on Campbell he couldn't get it done.

I didn't see him throwing 4-5 picks against Oakland and Arizona.

When the running game was stopped it was quite clear to everyone when the pressure was on Delhomme he couldn't get it done.

The running game wasn't nearly as effective early in the season and yet *gasp* we still won games. In 2004, 2005 and 2006 our running game sucked and *gasp* we still won games. Jake's best year was one of our worst years for running the football. Come on man at least bring SOMETHING to the table.

3 games the running game was shut down completely.

Minnesota

Tampa Bay (1)

Arizona (2)

in all 3 of these games Jake didn't play well at all.

Irrelevant. The Arizona and Oakland games were in 2008.

I don't hate the guy. I appreciate how he competes and is fired up every week. Let's face it though - he's AVERAGE in every sense of the word. This is a Quarterback and Coach driven league. We're average both ways. Spare me the exceptions but the teams with elite QBs are the teams that win. Unfortunately for us that now includes Ryan and the Falcons.

Ryan is not elite. He had a pretty good season for a rookie, that's it. He has the potential to be good or maybe even elite, but he's not there yet.

Hi guys,I'm new here and its great.I have been reading and one thing is clear.It seems that no one remembers what a true quaterback is. Jake has had the good fortune of having some of the best recievers in the game.He is fortunate that he led an expansion team to thier first superbowl and was competative,(because of some of the greatest catches I have ever seen a reciever make) in that one game he won so many casual fans its amazing. But the real is that we are never going to win the big one with him as quaterback.Without the quality recievers he has he is average at best,when you really need him less than average.As far the question there is no better option now. The coaching staff and GM have let every decent option that has bee there pass on by.This tells me that we have no intention of winning andthat is very disappointing to me as a fan.It is time for a new start coaching staff and quaterback.There is no way Jake should be our starter on opening day.

      Edge Rushers

      By Basbear · Posted

      These last couple playoff/championship games for the edge class will mean millions. Someone will have a big game and become the favorite top edge. Everything is on the line for the edge group now.

      What Are Your Top Offseason Targets Now That Bryce Young Is Showing Promise?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Because he's not the best prospect in the draft, he's the best college player in the draft, and those are two entirely different things. Yes, if he focused on one side, his stats may have been better, but stats aren't what makes a player's prospects, it's their abilities and how they translate to the next level. I'm also not knocking him as a prospect, not like I'm saying he's a mid round pick, he's just probably the 2nd best CB and 3rd best WR, in what way is that throwing shade on him?  It's literally saying he's a Top 10 pick, just not THE top prospect at his position(s).  I really don't get why you think someone saying a player is the 2nd best player at one position and 2nd or 3rd best at another position is hating on them, it's crazy talk. Even in your defense of him here, you say a just asinine sentence, "he's the #1 rated prospect because he's actually elite at both positions" His ability at 2 positions has 0% bearing on his NFL prospects, as no team is going to use him full time both ways, he's either going to be a full time WR, or a mostly full time CB who gets 5 or so snaps a game on offense.   So him playing both positions shouldn't factor into any team's draft evaluation of him, if a team is taking him over Johnson because of the few snaps he'd play on offense, they're choosing a player for the wrong reason.  The only way I'm taking him over T-Mac is if it's a team that already has a true outside #1 and what they need is speed in the slot to compliment the outside guy (and btw, most teams don't have that, if anything, most would have the slot guy and need the true outside #1).

      Remember when @CamWhoaaCam didn't bandwagon that team that was having a surprisingly good season?
