While Russell has matured to the point of not needing TJack as a Mentor and such the rest of the offense works well thru him when needed, I agree with Money as far as dollar for game day production but there is so much more involved, opposition breakdown etc. If Boykin can get up to speed and I have heard he is a smart guy and quick study that's great.
Oh what do you want bitten
I'm willing to be bitten Chris I saw that loser take a 10-6 team that was playoff level to 7-9 and I'm sorry, "I suck dick" in 2011 like he meant to do so. The thing is I'm Malcolm in Middle. I'm not a 38er but I'm not a 2012 fan. I'm a fan of 1990's. The years when we actually almost lost my team. We sucked bad but Tez was ridiculous good.
Tarvaris was actually .500 as a starter in '11. Clipboard J went 0-2.
I still expect Tarvaris to be our backup next year. At 33, this is likely the last chance Tarvaris could compete for a starting gig, so I envision the dominoes start falling into place once the Jets resolve their issues with Fitzpatrick. Also, have you ever noticed that most veteran backups make around $4 million a year now and Tarvaris just drew $1.5 million last year? Why not wait it out and see if an injury could elevate him into that kind of payday? If the offers are comparable, Tarvaris will be back with the Hawks in a heartbeat; but if the difference is in the neighborhood of $2.5 million, it's heard to begrudge the guy for following the money. I hope he remains a Hawk because he's a known commodity. Let's see how Boykin handles himself in pads and preseason games, save him on the practice squad for a year and let him develop.
