Until we're done I refuse to give up. Like I said and like so many of you have felt the need to point out... I know it's next to impossible. But, what I'm saying is next week we could be looking at this season with a small glimmer of hope which personally I'd like to hold on to and care about games in December.

I agree I think it's likely over... But, if we win Pitt loses this week. Then we only need a Patriots win vs the Jets, for us to win out, and for Pitt to get upset. It's not unheard of. You guys are vicious... Haha

As I suspected....

Let me preface this. 1. This team is far too good to be in this situation and I am sick that this season is likely given away. Too many plays left on the field. 2. Coaching has been awful. Plain awful. But, if bills win this week: and Pitt loses and or Kansas City gets upset, the playoffs aren't so far out of reach. It's a total longshot if you think about the scenario. We need Jets to lose one and then one to us, we need to win out and then we need Kansas City to lose out or pitt loses two. It's a lot of work for a spot. But, if we win next week, and pitt loses to denver like they should. If the Jets lose in two weeks to New England like they should. Then we're only in need of Pitt getting upset in one of their last two games. It's still a long shot. But, next week we could be looking with a whole lot of new optimism. Just realized I said Steam... Queue the trolling. Please moderators fix this I'm not sure how?

Just sayin... Antonio Brown does return punts. Arguably the best receiver in the NFL

If we're going into should'ves then the defense should've had four picks or so through out the game that were dropped or just not heads up plays. I'm not arguing that EJ played well or that he should start. But, to say that he shouldn't be on an NFL roster is laughable. I don't want him starting at this point in time, like I had previously said. He's a bust in terms of NFL because he is a first round pick and nowadays they're expected to start right away. But I would not feel uncomfortable with him as my BACK UP (a person who isn't even supposed to play. The second best QB on the team) I said that. It's funny it's like republicans you are either very far left on EJ or so far right that you can't even see anything else. He made plays to lose us that game. 21 points in that game on the other side were attributed to him making stupid mistakes. However, did him or the team quit? The defense made stops they needed to (other than the last one) and EJ drove the guys down the field. He hit two nice touchdown passes.

R Relevant is the fact that it's football **** happens. If the defense plays well last two weeks we win. Relevant is the fact that we were down 27-3 with a makeshift offensive line, a makeshift set of receivers, and our BACKUP quarterback and we had a 31-27 lead with 2 minutes left and a 3rd and 15. I'll take that kind of fight from a back up quarterback any day. Show some semblance of intelligence. Yes he sucked and made plays that costed us. But he also put us in a position to win that game.

Cue the knee jerk reaction. Facts: EJ had the worst 1st half I've probably ever seen from a starting quarterback. EJ and the defense Put us in a spot to win the game if the defense is able to make a stop. I don't know what you guys want. Was Michael Vick a good back up? How has Kapernick looked these last few weeks? First off I'm much more comfortable with EJ as a back up quarterback than anybody else. I wanted him to start at the bbeginning of the season. I was wrong. At this point I don't think he's a starter in the NFL. Could change quarterbacks do develop. However, does Josh Johnson put us in a spot to win that game? Absolutely not. The guy has been in the playbook for 2 weeks. He has a career 1:2 touchdown to interception ratio. EJ is not the worst quarterback in the NFL. He does not need to be cut. He played awful. But he battles back. EJ always has... Remember the Panthers game? The kid has heart and the ability to make plays. If the defense makes a stop at the end we win the game. Football is a team game. EJ !@#$ed up twice with two huge mistakes that you could argue lost the game. But what about Shady fumbling on the 1? Or the last drive of the game?

I don't really expect much different from you. But a preseason game against a different team is different. EJ has played well against the 2's and the 3's. We're trying to find a starting quarterback between 1 of 3 guys the coaching staff says. So it's only logical EJ would get a chance unless he laid an egg which he has not. Tuel was never in the equation to start.

The scrimmage was not a preseason game though. They also said he performed the best of the 3 at the scrimmage. His upside is enormous. We can all see that when he's on he looks like a good NFL quarterback. Tyrod is flashy and Cassel is a somewhat proven NFL passer so I wouldn't be unhappy with any. I just don't want the coaches looking at the other two with rose colored glasses because of some disdain for Ej.

People have made their mind up about EJ already. There's no winning this argument even though the valid points are that he should get a shot with the 1's like was stated. He looked like an NFL quarterback with no help against a ****ty defense. A third string defense is typically way far ahead of a third string offense. Here are the facts: EJ was drafted to be developed into the quarterback of our future, Kevin Kolb went down, he had to start way earlier than anticipated and performed admirably for a rookie project quarterback. EJ started last season until Orton picked up the offense and came in to start. This was supposed to be an even quarterback battle. All three have performed well in all given opportunities. Tyrod got his chance with the 1's and 2's performed pretty well in both. Cassell performed with the 1's got his shot and performed well. EJ performed with the 3's and 2's and performed well. It's clear this preseason is not entirely important with exception of the quarterback battle to the coaches. We're virtually playing none of our starting skill players next week so I don't see the harm in letting EJ go against a starting defense for at least a quarter maybe a quarter and a half and see how he performs. The argument he's against three's is irrelevant because we haven't seen him against the 1's. But, he's looked like an NFL quarterback against these guys and there is no doubt he has improved. Just to clarify I'm not anti-Tyrod or anti-Cassell. There's a misconception here you have to be one or the other. I want to win. 15 years is too long without the playoffs. But we're doing ourselves as a team and EJ a disservice if they don't even give him a chance against starters with the way he's played in all the game opportunities he's been given.

I think a lot of people are looking at this wrong. Cassel and Tyrod look to be in front. But if you look at the first two preseason games, the 1 and the 2 play a quarter each the 3 typically plays the whole second half. Cassel and Tyrod are splitting first team reps, with EJ virtually getting all the second. They could be playing him a lot more getting him confidence and to see what he's supposed to be seeing. I could be wrong. It just seems incredibly hard to believe that EJ would be so far back when imho they've all been very similar, with EJ having played probably better than Cassel in the preseason game. Whoever is the 1 week 3 will determine who is the starter, and if it's not EJ then I'll resign to the fact that he's not going to start this season. I just think Rex had a plan and it's hard to believe EJ would be out of the mix when his opinion has been on level as these other two guys, not to mention his ceiling is seemingly a lot higher.

I think it was a report that a scout said that. Pretty sure I've seen that exact report adn quote used several times about others. I just think with the work ethic he has, and the ceiling he has, he has what it takes to be our starter. But, obviously you don't know until the game. If he's awful in preseason then I'll say it's not him, but be logical. He's shown up in most game scenarios.
