I Found Something Dumber than the Marcus Peters Trade

[Fountain City Blues]

What's your stance on Marcus Marriota?

Played poorly.

His WR's stink.

His TE is overrated.

His coaching was awful.

OL regressed.

Subject to revision. Was not a banner year for Mariota in any sense.

 

[Clayton]

Look at the years on either side of it. More interceptions. Less touchdowns. Even had less rushing yards. The whole thing was a disaster. He did have more comebacks though, because they couldn't score consistently in the air.

Losing a #1 hurts an offense, some more than others. I didn't think that was news.

Its not news.

I guess my main argument is that they need to challenge Bortles. Certainly they could've signed Nick Foles last year as a backup. Maybe there is a Nick Foles out there this year that they should be looking at.

Speaking of Maclin, I wouldn't be surprised if he got cut again.

I felt he was the worst QB in the NFL.


There are legit excuses, but Brett Hundley was his only competition. Imo.


Peterman Reality excluded.

Sure, but upgrading the quarterback room overall and throwing away your best quarterback, instead of keeping him on a reasonable contract, are opposite moves.

This move was good. Their move to add more talent at the position could be a good move too.

I agree. This move, if nothing else, gives them stability through the next 3 years at the most volatile position. If they played on the FA market they would pay $10M+ more per year for a new QB. If they draft one they are looking at 3 years from now before it all clicks. Instead they get a guy on the cheap (relative to NFL QB's) who knows the system and the team. Is he the best QB? No. Is he a known commodity? Yes. Do they have a team friendly deal for the next 3 years? yes. So now go find your future QB and let him learn from the sidelines.

Whats up Fordham, long time no see, Cowboys suck

But anyways.....I wish Jacksonville fans actually existed, Id love to get their take, cause if Im a Jags fan, i cant be optimistic with winning a SB with Blake Bortles as my QB, especially knowing I have a SB type roster

Sorry, can't hear you talking shit from up there at that well-earned #2 draft spot

if I'm a Jags fan then I'm putting all my chips in the "Hey if shit-heels like Flacco/Dilfer/Sheli can win with their defense, then so can we".

You forgot to list Eli twice

 

[fordman84]

Nah, he get's half credit for each.

 

[Guy Incognito]

Well, so much for Jacksonville being threats to compete in the AFC.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Can we talk about how Coughlin sucks yet?

Still sucks

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

Eli manning probably signs with jags to end his career?

Not even Coughlin is dumb enough to do that.

Gonna be pretty neat when they go 8-8.

They're even worse than I thought they'd be

Whats crazy is that they're 17th in DVOA which would suggest that they should be close to a .500 team.

Also, In their last nine games, they were held under 10 points four times and under 20 points seven times. In this era of obscene offense. Everyone saw this coming and they still found a way to be even worse than expected.

I get the strong sense they quit at some point watching that TNF game. Bortles crushes spirits with his inept play.

 

[bksballer89]

My god, you can't possibly be this stupid. Just wow

Who didn't see this coming?

People told me Bortles was coming off a solid season. I was a hater!
