Surprised that Jacksonfan hasn't weighed in and said how Tjack is coming in to take the starting job.

I'm not sure what else we'd be talking about. That plus, for better or worse, backup QBs are a big topic at .net. Always have been, always will be.

Suffice, in 19 years covering the NFL, today’s showing by Matt Flynn, Tyler Wilson, Terrelle Pryor and Matt McGloin rates as one of the worst in memory.
Time and again, balls were batted at the line of scrimmage, thrown behind receivers, thrown over receivers, delivered too high or just plain off the mark.
All four quarterbacks were just as guilty, with none of the four doing anything to distinguish himself today. Not that any of them seemed very concerned.
“Each and every day we’re going to want to come out and complete every pass and throw 10 touchdowns,” Flynn said. “But, realistically, right now everyone is still learning, everyone is learning each other, everyone is learning a new playbook. Things are coming. Things are formulating. But we have a long time until game one.”
Good thing, too, for it appears as if they are going to need as much time as they can get...
Sure enough, defenders batted down two of Pryor’s passes and four of Flynn’s, by Pryor’s estimation. Heck, it could have been more. It was tough to keep track of all the negative plays by the quarterbacks today.
Flynn and Allen added that quarterbacks also are burdened with having a lot thrown at them right now in terms of the playbook and defensive looks.
Fair enough, but that doesn’t explain fluttering passes, wobbly throws and errant passes time after time. Even two of Flynn’s completions came on throws that bore the marks of sure interceptions but somehow wound up in the hands of Marcel Reece and Denarius Moore, respectively, after nice adjustments of their routes.

They shouldn't be with a legit franchise QB as a starter.

In related ex-backup QB news, the Mighty Flynn is sucking hard in Oakland thus far. :mrgreen: :stirthepot:

I also have to admit to knowing little or nothing about Quinn except what's been posted here. I just know I don't care for Jackson.
Think how boring it would be around here if we all agreed all the time, and gasp that Absolute might be right now and then?

the offense is known, or the fact that Jackson knows it is known?

Brady Quinn crash course.
He couldn't beat out Tim Tebow or Kyle Orton in Denver.
Tim Tebow couldn't beat out Mark Sanchez or Greg McElroy in NY.

TJack crash course...
Couldn't beat Christian Ponder, Joe Webb or Gus Ferotte in Minnesota.
Couldn't beat Russell Wilson (rookie) and Matt Flynn in Seattle
Couldn't beat out Ryan FitzPatrick, EJ Manuel, Kevin Kolb in Buffalo.
Yes, TJack knows the offense but he's also proven that he can't execute the offense. I know rocket science but doesn't mean I can execute the functions of an astronaut.
