The article is linked on TBD, but it's worth discussing.
I know this will slip by the crowd that is having its field day for being "right" about EJ never being an NFL QB, but I think Fred is the perfect guy to help EJ look at this the right way. Time and again he has been left on the sidelines in favor of other options, and time and again he has worked his way back to where he belongs. You can argue (rightfully) that he never should have been on the sidelines in the first place, but still, it's about the perspective he can offer a young player.
Coming out and saying "we aren't giving up on EJ" and ‘If anything, let it motivate you,’ ” Jackson said. “Motivate you to come ready to work and prove that you’re still the guy. If I know him, that’s what he’s going to do. … He’s going to continue to come to work, improve as a quarterback, and take care of the things that he needs to take care of.”
... that's the mark of a consummate teammate and captain.
