I dont know who you guys thought you were watching last night, but BJ was horrible.
He embodies the one read and flee mentality. And this is when hes playing against scrubs. Honestly, hes a good runner, but nothing about him last night was better then pryor.
You should watch the game with your eyes open then
BJ had a QB rating of 118, TP 108
Ill go over all the stuff you said throughout your multiple post, but ill start here. Did you see Pryor's stats? If you want to use stats as be all end all, then dont throw them out with Pryor.
I watched the game just fine. BJ made some good throws and bad throws, neither was of concern for me. You obviously only look at play result and not play execution. This was against scrubs as well, which means execution is far more of a factor in evaluation then play result.
Honestly, dont just post stuff until you rewatch the game. BJ was so quick to leave the pocket and scamper it wasnt funny. He either threw it to his first read (which he had some good throws) or he tucked and ran. That was it. I saw only 1 time he went through his progressions. Every other time, if it wasnt there on first read, go. Thats all he did. You cant just say "You didnt watch the game with your eyes open" Honestly, talk about the game, and enough with they hyperbole. Tell me what plays exactly stood out to you.
2nd, your no 3 QB mantra is tiring. You do realize that most NFL teams, for the longest time, had 3 QB's on the roster. In fact, some teams in the league still do. The entire idea of having only 2 QB's didnt really become popular till about 5 years ago. On top of which, there is almost always someone on the 53, that not once throughout the season, is active on game day. Is he wasting a roster spot? Its not a huge detriment to give one of those 46-53 spots to Pryor and continue his training. You dont take an athletic stud and just toss him because he doesnt perform to perfection. And just like you hear about Kaep, the ceiling his high for Pryor because of his raw Athleticism.
He is a good scout QB as of right now because he can emulate Kaep and Cam. 2 of the toughest QB's in the league to contain (outside RW). And with emergence of even more dual threat QB's, this training will become more and more vital.
The idea that hes leaving next year if we keep him because he wants to start is all talk. Could it happen, sure. But if hes as bad as you claim, what team is going to give him the starting job right when they sign him? If TJ is gone next year, and Pryor realizes hes destined for a back up role, he could embrace it (like TJ did) and just make his 1.5 million a year while helping us improve our team.
