QB option nobody is talking about...

[JimmyinSD]

KOC said the 'QB room' would be upgraded....he didn't specifically mention the starter. The only real doubt the team has is can he stay healthy? And I think they believe he can but he'll have to show it...hard to argue he wasn't snakebit. And there can't be an UDFA like Brosmer at QB2 and there won't be. Wentz getting injured and the O-line decimation with injuries really complicated things. JJM was 6-4 as a starter.

The team HAS to see JJ McCarthy to its end or its true beginning. He'll be QB1 come September.

Brosmer wasnt QB2 until QB1 went down... again.   We can point fingers all day at Brosmer,  but he was supposed to be a project, not the starter or even QB2. 

JJM needs to get his shit right mentally,  his body right physically and put this fucking thing to bed this year.  He needs to play hard,  but with the understanding that he isnt going to intimidate anybody on the other side of the ball with his physicality,  he best way to take their soul is by staying on the field and crushing their spirit by hanging 6s on the board.

Well.....yeah, that's what young QBs all need to do, learn things.

I would hope a QB in his second year in the pros would have enough common sense to not try and square up defenders as he is running OB, especially one that is a year removed from a major knee injury,  a  couple months from a significant concussion,  and an ankle injury that have basically rendered his first 2 years in the league as useless in determining if he has a future as our QB.  I love the kid,  but he needs to grow up quicker mentally than what he showed this year.

I guess I'm surprised SO many fans on this board were so upset with this play by JJ. I think he was very frustrated with all of his injuries and he had some of that to vent off with that play. Was it really that big of a deal? IMO it showed moxie and fire, that stiff arm was sweet!  I don't know, IMO I don't get the angst over it. Just me I guess.

Pretty sure the kid could shit in your cheerios and you would be ok with it,  you are likely as big a fan of his as his Mom.  I think myself and others want to see good decision making and some maturity.  He has enough to deal with from his shaky start to his career.   He can lead in ways that dont make him a bigger target for the opposition or hos detractors. 

Maybe its just me starting to think he is made of glass and not wating to see our new(ish) toy get broken... again.
