The right thing is to coach him up the best they can and commit to him as the starter for the entire season... unless he's a total disaster which I simply don't see happening.

JC's not happy with his own performance in practice, he said it himself... he let's the pressure get to him too much and over thinks. I hope you are right and he'll work out of it... but if not then the right thing to do is pull the plug before we are needing 6 straights wins to make the playoffs....

It's....day...three... Chill out.

Let's get into at least mid September before calling for the backup!

We're not even done with day 3 of camp. Personally I like the fact he's critical of himself. He's probably not playing quite as bad as he thinks he is. He just needs to settle in. He'll be fine.

Well if he only hitting around 50/50 it would be kind of hard not to be critcal of himself.

Justin Tryon seems to have swagger to him. He's already yapping on the field like Smoot. Plus he seems to be doing well on the practice field.

he's been doing that since draft day. confidence is definitely not a problem.


and yeah, generally NFL teams don't talk about players under contract to other teams (publicly) because THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO.

If you're going to try and pin it to the FO, pointless whining a pretty weak approach.

Dude has a TON of swagger, and he seems to be backing it up so far. He could be a nice find.

IMO the struggles he's having are still thinking about the reads too much and not trusting his own decsion-making yet. He's probably making the right read, but is still hesitating on pulling the trigger slightly. This will throw off the timing in the WCO. Give Zorn & JC the benefit of the doubt, and next week I'll bet we see a much improved and more consistent JC. JC's a hard worker and for the first time in his NFL career he has a good QB coach, who has played the position at the NFL level.

Collins is not the answer. JC would need to play pretty awful for me to pull him in favor of Collins.

The undying faith you all have in him really surprises me considering his inconsistent throwing and lack of confidence. Anyway, my original post said I was sick of the excuses every time JC stinks it up. I didn’t post to have a discussion about who I think should be our QB… that’s a discussion we’ll save for later.
