Pretty decent thread bout a quarterback accepting the fact he will be a backup.
Excerpt from it.

"First, he says, a backup has to be pure in his motives so that he earns the starter's trust. Only then does the No. 1 guy not feel threatened. For instance, last season Campbell, playing in his seventh offensive system in eight seasons going back to college, had a few questions about a pass-protection scheme, questions he was too embarrassed to ask. So Collins, being a friend first and a position rival second, asked the coaches for him. "It works much better when guys are working together on the same team," Collins says."

That's great for Collins. And it just further illustrates how big of a p---y JC is. He was embarrassed to ask about a pass-protection scheme??? Do what!?

Everyone looks to the positive in how Jason didn't respond like Cutler. I think it illustrates a flaw that Jason has in his personality. He's too soft spoken, and he doesnt stand up for himself. Where is the confidence?

Cooley indicated on NFLN this week that Jason has stepped up and is taking the reigns. Because he was reluctant to ask what he felt may have been a "stupid" question makes him a p---y?? That's a reach. Also, it's great for Collins to do that for JC, not so great to tell an ESPN reporter about it.

Check out the line above my avatar. Better get with the program and start rooting for JC. Like it or not, he's the man for '09. If he's not successful, the Skins won't be successful.

Totally agree with you on our success being directly linked to Jason's growth. That's why im settling in for another long mediocre season.

So I guess you would have been happier if he demanded a trade and whined his way outta town?

[Monksdown]

Not at all. I just knew he was going to react close to how he did because it's in his personality to keep quiet. I'm just worried, it's not because he classy, but because he doesnt know how to stand up for himself. That quote about Todd Collins asking the coaches a pass protection question because Jason was embarrassed really really sucks.

Havent you ever gotten frustrated with the same game face he has, win or lose? TD or Int. I see no emotion.

I just got out of a mtg., during which I wanted to ask a question but decided not to. As my boss once said, in college they tell you 'there are no dumb questions' but in the working world, there are plenty of dumb questions.

Sometimes, it's best to think first & see if you can get the answer w/out asking for it in the middle of something. Granted, he's the QB & has got to know more than anyone else. So, really this comes down to study habits, not personality.

If you just said that you thought he wasn't prepared & plays like he isn't prepared, that's at least a reasonable judgement or educated guess. But that isn't a personality flaw. He had enough pride that he didn't want to look uninformed in front of his teamates, that doesn't sound like a personality flaw to me.

[Monksdown]

I just felt like stirring the pot a bit. I honestly didn't put much thought into my statements. I retract my uninformed analysis of our flacid quarterback.

He definitely should've asked himself. Apparently Collins didn't have the grasp either, but I'd rather ask the question then not have the protection that I'm looking for.

Looks like Leftwich will be a Buc backup.

Here is Cooley's take on Colt Brennan.
Chris Cooley, Washington Redskins
No questions asked, Colt has the potential to be a starter in the NFL. He has all the qualities to get the job done. In the next couple of years, he'll get a shot somewhere.

I think Jared Cook will be better than you. What do you think?


Chris Cooley, Washington Redskins
I do not know who Jared Cook is. Obviously, you're not a 'Skins fan. I think Paris Hilton would probably be a better sports analyst than you.


hahahaha

I like Colt, not sayin he is the best thing since sliced bread but he plays with energy and the rest of the players feed off of him. I like his gunslinger mentality.and the way he plays.
