Fake-Fat Sunny Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 How is JP healing bone break responding to being game tested? Nobody knows and we won't know for a couple of days. it was great to see him play mop-up tonight because this is a tangible sign that he has healed enough to play and that he has practiced well enough that the football braintrust think his game improves from this mop=up duty. However, this is a long way away from making sure there is no additional noticeable pain from this foray or limitations on his range of motion. Drew was done at the end of last season and its a big part of the reason I advocated no resigning him. However, the pain of watching Drew should not be the driver on whether JP starts or not. What is best for JPs development should be the driver. If watching Bledsoe is that painful for folks then root for a Matthews start. JP will profit from playing the pro game, but the condition of his injury should be the primary driver, an assessment of how good his reads were and whether the best next step for him tis to hit hhe books and tape a little more or see things over Teague's butt should be a key element, and an assessment of whether repetitive throws in practice or running for his life in games is best for his development should be the driver on this decision.

Nanker Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Yes. Put in Matthews. Re-sign and activate Brad Van Pelt. Anybody know if Joe Ferguson is available? Yes, yes, yes. One thousand times yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
