He's played one season. Most "franchise" QBs get at least a few seasons to make their bones (Peyton, Palmer, Eli, Rivers, Leftwich, McNabb, Vince Young, Cutler, Bulger). If you're ready to jettison a QB after 3/4 of a season on a team riddled with injuries, you probably don't have the patience for this game. Point being, JC has played solid with some rookie mistakes, which is the best you can expect out of 99% of the 1st year starters out there. If you don't give it time, we will never have a franchise quarterback. It worked for Gibbs in the 80s, but it's not the winning formula in today's NFL.
