eball Posted August 3, 2013 Author Posted August 3, 2013 Expect complaints about staff at SJF not keeping water off the rubber mats...still, if this injury is significant it has to go down as one of the freakiest, most random ever. Almost seems the stars are aligning to start the EJ era.
jaybee Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Not to think worst case scenario but if it is a few month injury any thoughts to possible back QB options? I am wondering if Brad Smith will be worked into the rotation, if its a serious injury. EDIT: This was not the 1st news I wanted to hear today. Edited August 3, 2013 by jaybee

NoSaint Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Not to think worst case scenario but if it is a few month injury any thoughts to possible back QB options? Well if thats the case - Lucky we've kept Jacks.... Nevermind. I am wondering if Brad Smith will be worked into the rotation, if its a serious injury. I don't think that was even a plan when chan had him at qb, honestly
eball Posted August 3, 2013 Author Posted August 3, 2013 EJ #1...Tuel #2...Brad Smith #3. PTR Hate to admit it, but that looks scary as hell...and not (in the words of Rick Jeanneret) "scary good."
NoSaint Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Hate to admit it, but that looks scary as hell...and not (in the words of Rick Jeanneret) "scary good." There's no need to hate to admit that a rookie backed up by a UDFA rookie backed up by a WR would be scary.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Hate to admit it, but that looks scary as hell...and not (in the words of Rick Jeanneret) "scary good." C'mon. Having Kolb @ #2 was that much better?
eball Posted August 3, 2013 Author Posted August 3, 2013 There's no need to hate to admit that a rookie backed up by a UDFA rookie backed up by a WR would be scary. Cue the armchair GMs waiting to post that Nix and Whaley failed to adequately stock the roster with 4-5 quality backup QBs.
Meatloaf Sandwich Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 I was expecting EJ to be starting week 1 anyway so all this does is give EJ more reps. One thing good is this kid isn't the type to stop working hard if Kolb really is injured for longer and EJ is starter. This is just like the dolphins and Garrard/Tannehill.
Dorkington Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Please, everyone. Take one of these: I'm too busy laughing at the ridiculousness of it! JW's quick blurb: http://bigstory.ap.org/article/kolb-hurts-knee-field-slip-camp Hmmm
NoSaint Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Cue the armchair GMs waiting to post that Nix and Whaley failed to adequately stock the roster with 4-5 quality backup QBs. I wouldn't say that..... Injury to kolb was a concern when we cut Jackson though, and with over 20m in cap space, it seemed geared towards saving cash, not fielding the best 53. Once gone I didn't expect any signing though. All that said, we will see if this is an injury or just camp precautionary measures to check it out
Dorkington Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Him throwingnhis helmet down, and needing a bit of help concerns me. Wonder if he heard or felt something pop...

All that said, we will see if this is an injury or just camp precautionary measures to check it out While my post was an obvious joke, I'll address one of your points. I agree cutting Jackson was at least in part related to $$ (what do 3rd-string QBs get paid?) but also about letting him try to go somewhere he could compete for a #1 or #2 job.
BuffaloBob Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 That doesn't sound good that he had trouble putting weight on it.
Kirby Jackson Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 EJ getting more reps can only be a good thing. I was just thinking if he's out until November or something they will probably want some security and a veteran back up. I feel like EJ, Kolb and Tuel is a good mix. If you are down a man than you need to try to replace what he brings. In Kolb's case, it is a smart guy that can make some plays if called upon. Strangely, Fitz probably fits the bill really well but obviously not an option. Is Hasselback on a roster?

I know, but I figure it was bound to come up seriously too. I get the logic but didnt agree with it at all. It my be a worthless point here, as kolb could be fine and stay healthy but... At qb especially... I'm not a huge fan of doing the guy a favor so early in the offseason. I liked having two vets "just in case" and felt we spent enough on tjax that we very much earned the right to use that to the fullest instead of doing him a favor. Edited August 3, 2013 by NoSaint
Wayne Cubed Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Him throwingnhis helmet down, and needing a bit of help concerns me. Wonder if he heard or felt something pop... Could be he was upset that he possibly hurt himself in such a ridiculous way. Frustrated I'd say.
Arkady Renko Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Got to wonder about these wet rubber mats. I am thinking torn ACL to be honest. Sixth round pick for TJax?
