If we release Carr what would you think of bringing back Jameis? [Mod edit]

Haener looked real good (relatively) in one game after they pulled Rattler but he looked terrible in the game he started. I agree with you that I don't see it clicking with him, stranger things have happened but again I just don't see it. Rattler has more upside on paper for sure and if we release Carr, I personally hope we just roll with him and see what that looks like. Unfair maybe that he's only a second year player but it is what it is, these guys all know that you have to seize the opportunities when they come rather than when you want them to come.

I don't particularly mind the idea of bringing Winston back but does he want to back up a second year guy? Because I think it's pretty clear at this point that Winston himself is not a consistent enough QB to be that guy for any team serious about winning football games.

I agree. Only thing about Jaboo is his presence can ignite a team for a few games. He just doesn't sustain it. Like his pick 6 fiasco last year after playing well for 2-3 games. He balled out in that snowy game.

We could do worse than Jaboo as a backup, but I dont know that Kellen wants a "funny" guy like Jameis in his room. I haven't seen enough from our new coach to say for sure, but he just doesn't seem very comedic. I wonder if they would clash.

I truly love the idea of everybody taking a breather this year. Make the touch cuts, trades and draft choices, that you need for this team to rebuild itself to a winner. Let Rattler get a full off-season with #1 Reps and use the fact that your starting QB isn't making that much to absorb the hit of letting Carr walk. Rattler made alot of impressive throws on an inadequate team with little time on task. I would definitely give him a shot this year as we need to see this as the start of a new era and temper expectations.
