No pressure about playoffs is correct, but he's in a contract year and playing for his career's next step. With all of the detractors he's had, not only on here but everywhere I see...he has PLENTY of pressure on his shoulders. Speaking of pressure, he's been hit a LOT lately with the holes in the offensive line. They've played somewhat better recently but he's still taking some huge shots by defenders.

I believe I'm right about letting a QB develop before giving up on them. Look at Vince Young, he was FAR worse than JC ever was and now could be their future as they had hoped it would be...there are always bumps in the road for a QB to become a franchise QB, even for Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, who was completely replaced when with San Diego. I bet they really regret that move. Rivers is great, but Brees is better.

I am just glad that we didn't get Sanchez or even Cutler and have to start this whole process and learning curve all over again, waiting another 3 years or so for solid production from a young QB. Hopefully he's earned his place in the team's immediate, if not long-term future.
