Be thankful for McCown

McCown is our starter. He will teach Sam about playing at NFL speeds. Sam may be ready to start by the 4th or 5th week. I hope it is successful.
He is the QB of our future, and I'm happy with that.

 

It's different situations for those franchise quarterbacks who've won Super Bowls as thee guy. They have plenty left in their tank. Josh McCown is a journeyman qb at his career crossroads, and his tank is reading "low fuel." He could get into coaching if he wanted to. I can't see Ben or Joe ever becoming coaches.

 

Lamar gonna take his job anyway, dude is nervous as shit

 

Maybe it’s a matter of a veteran giving the rookie a hard time so he doesn’t get too comfortable too fast. It happens a lot in some jobs, earn your stripes before you start acting like you have accomplished anything.

I wouldn’t make a big deal of this until we hear they are not getting along.

In my nature of work it’s the same thing, veterans don’t have anything to do with rookies, just to keep them in check. We won’t do anything to harm them or let them get harmed but it’s not rainbows and unicorns.

 

Are you comparing Josh McCown's situation to Joe Flacco's? Apples and Oranges

 

Same arrogance that prematurely jettisoned Jimmy Garapolo from NE. Brady did not want any distraction or an eventual successor breathing down his neck. I think that speaks volume as to how the FQBs don't give two shits about back ups and it's all about themselves. I think sooner than later Lamar will replace Flacco and his hugely over inflated contract anyhow. It won't be long before Ben body gives up on him completely. Same goes there. It's a crying shame that they have to be assholes instead of mentors. That is shortsided and stupid, and it does not mean shit how good you are or not.

 

The Jets thanked McCown, a career backup, with 10 million dollars. We don't need to be thankful for him.

 

Can't compare a scrub like McCown to Big Ben and Flacco, both Super Bowl winners. Those guys are competitors whereas McCown is happy to have a job and fleecing the Jets for 10 million.

 

Ben is the one who openly talked about retirement just a year ago. Was contemplating stepping out. Now after they draft what they hope is his replacement he gets his panties twisted. Brilliant

 

That's not the point. Being a dick has nothing to do with how talented you are

 

Sometimes I'm thankful for McCown. Kinda like I was thankful for road rash when my late, great dog, Bela Lugosi, dragged me down the street and totally rolled me to chase a cat.

 

You creation of this thread suggest you're comparing all three quarterbacks (situations) that were starters last season for their respective teams, who all drafted a possible future franchise qb.

I see the Steelers and Ravens situations entirely different than the Jets. You don't compare franchise quarterbacks who've both won Super Bowls to a journeyman qb likely in the last year of his career. Of course McCown's going to be very cooperative with the No. 3 overall pick. He's practically a qb coach for the Jets who still puts on the shoulder pads on game day. McCown is more Don Strock, than franchise quarterback finishing out the last chapter of a career.

 

Where in these Quarterback's contracts does it state that they have to take the younger QB under their wing?

If Roethlisberger and/or Flacco were 40, career journeyman and at the end of their careers, that would be one thing. It's a totally different scenario with these guys as it is for McCown.

At the end of the day, it's up to Rudolph, Jackson and the rest of these young QB's to do it themselves. Favre wasn't out there helping Rodgers every day.

 

I forgot he's getting $10 million. I guess that's the going rate for an emergency starter, qb coach, locker room chemistry guy.

 

That story was second only to the angry squirrel. RIP Bela.
