This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

he was injured by jt
he had two surgeries that offseason. That said, yes, he was terrible in 2015.
He beat Gabbert out the next year and played pretty well on an awful team. I could link to that, but my guess is that you can find it yourself.
I can still see an awful lot of Green Bay Packers whiffing on him in the playoffs (twice).
Nobody is saying that he's a sure fire hall of famer, but if you're going to compare him to Blaine ("that's not a name, that's an appliance!") Gabbert, you could at least be honest and include the entire story. The truth is that for the majority of his career he was an above average to very good qb. In the right system, he likely could have continued along that path. As to right now, I don't know how ready he would be as it has been a few years.
