Poor Eli.

Sure the Jags need a new QB unless Bortles all of a sudden improves big time, but I just don't see Eli being long term here.

That's rather ideal. Draft a QB and let him ride the bench behind Eli as he studies and develops.

I think the same thing of the worst Coach of the Year ever but at this point I just don't know. This whole situation in Dallas since 1995 has been so surreal.

I disagree.

That's every teams plan until something happens and they are called upon.

I'm still bummed out we lost to the Cardinals. Can't believe we let Blaine Gabbert beat us. I credit AZ both sides of the ball. They had a great gameplan against our defense. Leonard does not look like the back we drafted, and it can't be his ankle.

I'm happy the Jags are winning because it's been a long time coming, but I'm very, VERY concerned about our offense again. Can't move the ball and it's shown the past month. Reason why it's not a concern up until now is because that defense of ours is bailing us out. I know this team is still the favorite to win the South, and we do have the third easiest schedule, but man this offense is like the offense we've had the last decade still, regardless of injuries we have at WR, and up front. This offense is starting to stink.

Leonard Fournette show, time for him to show everyone why he was drafted so high. Some think he's better than Elliott. I agree, Elliott has all the talent in the world but is about as mature as a 4 year old. The biggest part of being a contributor is actually being available to play.

He was shot out of rocket when the season started. He was running so hard he was dragging the entire defense when they tried to tackle him. When he twisted that ankle against the Rams, he wasn't the same, but it doesn't look like it's affecting him. Just not sure that all those carries is wearing him out, but then again Chris Ivory isn't doing anything, and TJ Yeldon isn't doing much either.

But in regards to Forunette being better than Elliott. I wouldn't think so right now. Elliott seems to have more success throughout his entire rookie year last year. Fournette seems like he's either gassed or has no motivation. He's not running hard like he was Weeks 1-5. I think we're giving him too much of the load like we did with Maurice Jones-Drew where he quickly faded.

I think he's better off retiring at this point. Jags are a relatively young team, someone like Cousins makes more sense for them long-term.

I agree. Eli hasn’t looked great I think they should have let him finish the year but the giants don’t owe Eli anything. They have paid him a lot and those Super Bowls were awhile ago. Like sharpe said “You have to update your resume”.

He will be back in as starter by the 3rd quarter imo. Geno not only stinks but is also made of glass imo.

Fun fact: Tom Brady has lost two Superbowls to a QB that got benched for Geno Smith.

Ben McAdoo is doing it to himself, maybe he'll replace Zimmer as the HC for the Vikings next year. Would love to see Mike come back to Dallas. I can dream.

Um, why would Zimmer have any reason to leave Minnesota?

He wouldn't, he's brought that franchise back to being the cream of the NFC. It's just a dream, especially since Jerry handcuffs his HCs and already ran Zimmer off once.

Sounds more like you're smoking some wacky tobaccy. Puff, puff, pass.

His brother got benched for brock osweiler. Who wasn’t even good enough to be a BROWNS quarterback! Let that sink in.

Brock Osweiler is so bad he got re-signed by Denver to be the starter again. Then he got benched for Paxton Lynch and is now the inactive #3.
