I think JC has played pretty decent in Oakland. The going back and forth with Gradkowski was more coaches than performance. Jason played well enough to keep the job when Gradkowski was hurt. Jason was benched after playing pittsburg, and unless your name is Brady, Pittsburg has a way of making most NFL QB's look not so good. HE has played well enough that they are at least still in the running for a playoff spot.
Looking at his stats, he is on pace for around 2500 yards 13 to 15 TD's and around 10 INTs. That is not playing in 3 games, so no too bad stats.

So JC's a decent QB, not a game changer, needs a good RB, fairly inconistent from week to week, not very mobile, fumbles often, etc. Yep, that's right. 14 TD's w/ 10 picks is a good year for JC.

He's played ok, typical JC stuff, a few good ones, and a few stinkers.

JC will be in the NFL for a long time because he is exactly average. So he'll have some games above average, and some below average. But season by season he'll be at best good for 2800-3200 yards, ~20tds and 10-15 ints. Don't know why some here continue to think he'll break out as a star someday.

edit: I speak English good.

Rex i thought today played pretty well for a guy who essentially hasnt started in 3 years. I think that if Rex can keep playing well, then he could be the QB solution for the next 2 to 3 years while a young QB is groomed for the future.

That's the million dollar Question.. I don't know about 2-3 years but 1 year yes

I would rather have Rexy suck, as that means more top 10 picks, which means a higher probablility of hitting on players.

[Swarley]

Yeah I'll go with 1, at the most 2 years.

Shanny says "the experts dont know anything he looks at in practice" LOL

2-3 years with Rex? Try maybe 8 games.

You don't think he could go through a whole season?

He could, but the more realistic plan to me is to get a rookie in there by the middle of the season. The days of sitting a rookie for even for just one season are long over with.

Let's get a 5th rounder and have him be our franchise QB. I'm pretty sure our fanbase will be patient as said QB learns the ropes with an awesome O-Line made up of nothing but 1st and 2nd round picks that gives him all day to throw.

I don't think that applies to all young drafted QBs. Not all draftees can handle the pressure. But rest assure, Coach is going to get the best one that our pick can give us.

8 games? W/e qb we pick, I don't think he'll be as highly regarded as Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Matthew Stafford, Mark Sanchez, or Sam Bradford, but if he impresses in training camp and preseason I don't see why the coaching staff wouldn't make him the starter from day 1. Like you said the days of giving them a year on the bench or more are gone unless they were drafted later on and still had a lot to learn. But if we take a guy in the first round I wouldn't be suprised if he was the starter from day 1, recent evidence has shown that putting a guy in there early and letting him take his lumps hasn't proven to be a bad thing.
