    zero chance Locker stays in TN as a backup to the buger picker or CBJ

    I see Locker signing with the Evil Empire myself.

    I could totally see Locker comming off the bench in NE and getting it done a few times a year. And there would be zero talk of replacing Brady until he decides to walk away


    perfect situation

    He could have been amazing in Arena League LOL....

    Seriously, if Jake is better, he starts IMO. Not saying I am dancing in the streets about this, but he is better than CBJ and Mett is not showing up on Whis's radar at this point. Not sure why....maybe his knee? As I have mentioned before I do not want to see Mett on the field unless that knee is 100% at this point.

    Hate Locker as much as you want but he is more athletically gifted than CBJ, and clearly gives us a better chance of winning. CBJ may have some good throws(although it seems every Locker hater completely blocked out the wide open missed throws he had this sunday) but ZERO TDs against the 32nd ranked defense? Not to mention he went ICE COLD against the browns in the 2nd half and cost us the game... I'll pass on having a meltdown artist at QB. (not that whiz doesn't deserve some of the blame here)

    I think you can make a case either way. But to say Locker "clearly" gives us the best chance to win is just absurd IMO.

    That is what some folks don't seem to get here....it is not just a puritanical thing with his behavior, it is also a huge risk issue given the direction the league appears to be moving with player suspensions.

    It is no different than drafting a player who has been consistently injury prone in college at this point IMO. I really do not see the NFL treatment of offending players changing going forward.

    Here is a good enough reason to sit him IMO 3 of 11!! That's how many 3rd downs Whitehurst converted and we passed on them all. They were VERY manageable 3rd downs. The run was completely stuffed due to horrid blocking by the line, so we had to put it in Whitehurst's hands and he chocked!

    Don't think he chocked here's another for you. We got in the red zone 3 times, but scored only once on a 1yd run by Battle. We got to the 24yd line another time and still no passing TD.

    Whitehurst is indecisive in a position that requires quick thinking & decisions. He holds on to the ball too long! End of story. Is he more accurate, to a point. When he faces pressure he hurries throws. Example: Wide open Delanie Walker running up the middle, NO defender in 10yds of him. Whitehurst sees the rush, it is blocked ADEQUATELY, he rushed the throw and sailed the ball over his head. That pass should/would of been a TD unless Walker just falls. Whitehurst is an average back up. NOTHING MORE. If he starts for this team the rest of the year it will be one hell of a long season and the GM, hell the whole staff should be FIRED!!!

    **On the run being stuffed in my previous post. Lewan played well IMO, but as long as garbage man is in at LG there is no running that way. Warmack disappointed. He was beat several times and got penalties others. Sankey ran well. He got those 60+ yds off his effort. The kid is gonna be good. If we can pull this line together Sankey can have a special year. IF he is allowed to play as much as he should. He is not great in pass protection, but he has to have snaps in game to improve on it.

    lol is kind of funny to think about. Whitehurst is a 7 on 7 all pro. People flock from all over the nation to watch him at practice.

    Need to bring back the NFL Qb challenge.
