JC doesn't seem to do a good job at reading defenses. I don't know whether it's coaching, lack of audibles, i don't know. Several scouts weren't that high on JC coming out of college. They though he was a major stretch in the 1st round. They listed him as a project. A big qb w/ a big arm but not greatly mobile and a delivery that was too long. JG's gambled on him and we all know about JG's talent evaluation (hit and miss).

He is what he is. A decent qb when he's got a good run game, good protection. Who isn't? Not going to win or lose the game for you most often. A tough QB. Doesn't have great "feel" for the game and not really good enough to be a vocal leader IMO. Put it all together you've got a backup.
