Squicken, have you read your BFF Chris Brown's book? I bought it yesterday by accident and skimmed some of it, seems pretty good. He is a bit breezier than I would like since there are just a collection of essays but for like $5 or whatever it was its fine. I'm really looking forward to some of the papers on defensive innovation which is totally overlooked.

Keep him and let him compete for the starting job, like Caldwell said. If there's an upgrade out there in free agency or the draft (unlikely) then go for it, otherwise accept that we'll probably have Gabbert starting next year and that the fix at QB is either for him to develop or another year down the line.
Seems like a no-brainer to me.
Reading wiser heads than me seem to confusing. Some say our current personnel fit the style of D he plays but there are probably better coordinators out there.
Good thing about these post-giant rookie contracts is getting out of these early picks. Gabbert can compete for a job, be it against Henne, Tebow, or a new QB if they trade for one (Flynn, Vick, whomever).
Jake Locker is similar, although I don't think Hasselbald has much time left.

On the bright side you'll have another top 5 draft pick next year
Next years draft is going to be crazy if Johnny Football has another good year. Team that need a QB will be going nuts trying to trade up for him.
Holy shit that is to funny.
Fuck that Johnny Football hype hope he goes #1 and blowns a knee out
Why?

Maybe, maybe not. That's the way these things go. Even with things as bad as they were this year, the Jags were only a few plays away from being out of the top 5 draft picks. If they get lucky breaks rather than unlucky ones, they could easily be 7-9 next year without any actual improvement.
Would be typical to miss out on the best top draft picks by doing better than the team deserves.
Super hype makes me wish bad things on those getting hyped.

WTF dude? Why would you wish that on anyone and especially a guy like Johnny who seem like a genuinely nice guy.

So I guess you've got your MLB 13: The Show Cover Athlete Andrew McCutchen voodoo doll ready?
right..
The only thing that can get Andrew McClutchen is 2nd halfs of seasons!
Tim Tebow probably a nice guy too and I wished a train on him and that was before the playoff game
Edit; Before you bring up Andrew Luck, the fact that he looks like a caveman and speaks like a goony nerd is punishment enough

USA today has an article up about what Chip might do at QB. They think Dennis Dixon is a possibility. I thought he showed some flashes with the Steelers but they cut him with only Sandwhich and Batch as backups so he must have done something wrong. The 1 thing he has going is it would be easy to get him and he and Chip have worked together before.

Really? Also if they make Dennis Dixon the starter that's clearly a collusion at trying to get Johnny Football
Huge grain of salt, but la canfora use to work at the washington post, and was basically shitlisted at redskins park by Snyder. Anyways most fans ignored his stories because they were pretty much all wrong and he had no access. The story is that Snyder loves/wants to control the DC media so much that he recommended La Canfora to the NFL Network to get rid of him (sounds stupid to me).

He's mobile and he has a big arm, but you are right that I could definitely see the Eagles tank this year and try to get Johnny next year. Easpecially if they witch to a 3-4, it will take a few years to replace the guys on D with guys more suited to a 3-4.
Thanks for the info. I had no idea he used to cover the Skins.
I don't know, the few instances I seen him he looked really lost.
At some point you're really overthinking it. Dixon wasn't a practice squad QB who couldn't beat out Favre (a la Kurt Warner) he was a practice squad QB who couldn't beat out Charlie Batch.
This is a Joe Webb, be careful what you wish for, scenario.

God damn that is terrible. As much as people keep saying that the Cards job is the worst situation, I just dont see how anyone can fix the Jags. It is going to take years and years to fix that mess.
Isn't it just a collection of his website's best stuff? If I stare at play diagrams I fall asleep. I need photos and video and not whiteboards!
Probably, but it's like $5 so to have it in a nice collection of essay from in the Kindle app on an iPad it's worth it.
That Alabama team that wrecked Notre Dame couldn't tackle him. Can't teach that. If he keeps get better at throwing he could be a candidate for one of these new fangled offense the kids like today. Assuming he doesn't get arrested
Wishing an injury on a player? Good thing he's not a Patriot player or you would be blasted on here.

Or maybe Notre Dame was just overrated trash and didnt belong in the NC to begin with!

You write garbage like that and how can you really complain when people call you a shitty basement blog that apparently sometimes find a nut? It's obviously what they are going for.
Well, they eventually learned how to tackle him. After the first 3 or 4 touchdowns :lol

New coach, new hope, blah blah, whatever.
Anyway, I've also heard Mel Tucker on our short list too. Wasn't he already here and nothing to write home about?
Another Browns fan checking in! I had heard a rumor that there might be some on NFLgaf...good to see it's true. I grew up a little south of Sandusky and still a lifelong fan despite now living in DC.
I like the Chud and Norv hires. Out of the DC options I've read about, I like Tucker the best...not sure what to think of Raheem Morris. But no matter what happens I'll be keeping any optimism firmly in check and expectations low.

OMG you just made me lose it in the middle of class.
Im unsure what you're getting at here, but its probably a personal attack so I cant wait till Steelers fans impregnate your girls and wife!(then we'll be square for the super bowl)
Jerruh!
Weird response.
Pretty sure that ez's wife is going to be strictly doing Bears fans once they get divorced. A ex-wife is always going to go for what will hurt the most.

A St Louis Cardinals fan would probably hurt Ez the most.
Welcome brother!
Next season is going to be so hot. Won't just be me, BG and Wes yelling trent truck.
Some men are hopeless
Because she will get the kids and your beloved daughter and son will be surrounded by filthy Bears fans and might even grow up to be lifelongs.
The lesson to be learned here? Be nice to your wife. And buy her a Lexus and expensive purses every once in awhile.
:jnc
Also I only have one daughter friend. It hurts me that you don't know this. I thought we were bros.
