favre threw a coulpe of bad passes today in camp maybe we should cut him too. i kinda new this thread would so up.now we have a our starting qb in place there's nothing to debate so lets spend the next 3 weeks debating the no 2 qb.man some jet fans absolutely can't live without some form of qb controvesy
Dear God, are you kidding me? I'll give you Cutler and Young (and we might not have been able to draft Leon if we packaged to move up) and that's it. None of the other QBs have proven ANYTHING. Quinn's a potential immediate starter because he was a 1st round draft pick and is playing behind a Pro Bowl QB? Or was it his 8 pass attempts and sub-60 rating last season? Leinart's numbers were no better than Kellen's, and that's with Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald. Matt Ryan? Atlanta's not even starting Matt Ryan right away. Flacco's guess work as well. I sure as hell don't feel confident in Kellen right now. However, to suggest that 4 out of those 6 guys would be a definite improvement when we have NO evidence of that except college footage and draft position is ridiculous. Perhaps time will show that all 4 of those QBs are Pro Bowlers and future HOFers. Don't sit here and worry about what might have been, though, until you see how things actually pan out.
I don't know much about Kellen, but you can't say he is going to be a career backup. Brady would have been a career backup had Bledsoe not gone down. (I am not comparing Clemens skill to Brady's). He has a strong arm and he can do good things. I believe he should be held on until the Jets can redraft a franchise QB of the future in 2010 when a bunch of good QBs come out. (Stafford, Tebow) Then he should be traded for a mid-round pick.
Knowing what has happened in just the last seven days, how many of you would change your vote. I truely believe Ratliff will be #2 by week one and it seems the media is spinning it that way. Kellen will be gone by next season and if Erik Ainge had not had an injury I thing they would cut Kellen but season's end.
After yet another poor preseason game by Kellen and another quality play by Ratliff, it appears Kellen might not make the final roster.
I don't know about Kellen, he did look snake-bit tonight. But, he needs to work more with the 1's before he is judged. Rat is definitely hanging in there, huh? The guy is freshman unconscious -- Rat's fun to watch. But then again against the scrubs he has nothing to lose. They need to let Rat play with the 1's against the other team's 1's to see what he will do. ...Still with this plain vanilla stuff, he will have a distinctly unfair advantage.
