He looks better than I thought. I didn’t see you apologizing and saying you were wrong after Lamar’s first game though. And id still take Lamar over this kid even if he hits.

Haha you sound like a Bucs fanboy in this thread

Plenty people said he was bad

I apologize and I was wrong

Six INTs in 5 quarters since Tampa game

I thought he looked good yesterday. Much better than his stat line. Made a few mistakes, as is natural with a young QB facing an elite defense on the road. But his ball placement was really impressive.

DBs were draped over his receivers on damn near every play. There were very few easy completions all night, most of his balls had to be perfect or they weren’t going to be caught. Hell he had a number of perfect balls that *still* weren’t caught.

Jones, Minshew, Kyle Allen this week are now Pro Bowlers, next week who ever has a bad game will be a bust and fraud.

Last week Rudolph was better than Big Ben and the future. This week he's Landry Jones 2.0

This goes for all these guys including Lamar. Until you do it for an entire season I don't care. Everybody with the knee jerk stuff needs to stop. It's an offense driven league, any QB can have short term success. You have to wait and see who can do it for the long haul.

Back in the day rookie QB's were on the bench for 3 to 4 years learning the game unless you were a prodigy (Elway,Marino) , now a days they are thrown straight to the wolves hoping to survive!

I didn't think he'd be good.

Or maybe more specifically, I was not sold on him. Had my doubts.

I had him 5th behind Murray Haskins Grier and Lock. Day two type you hope can play a few years down the line.

He’s definitely impressed me though. I guess he’s used to playing with a trash supporting cast at Duke so he’s right at home in New York.

Also iirc your rationale at the time was “Mel Kiper has him as the third highest rated QB, and I want a different QB” so let’s not act like you had eaten tape on this dude and were going out on a limb lmao

My rationale was the fact that we never pick high enough for an elite QB and I felt DJ was an elite QB while having no idea how hard LJ was working on his craft. In the real draft, he would never make it to us but if he did and LJ busts.. we would have been glad to have him.

The first round draft pick is ultimately a risk no matter what the perspective.
