All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
I haven't seen any official announcement from Jauron yet. You would think he'd make some sort of a statement whether yes JP is our guy or not yet we're going to start Nall in the next preseason game to see, etc.
I think Jauron wants to take a closer look at Nall before he announces it. That way he can say, he gave Nall a legit shot.
What happens if Nall outperforms JP? Another Qb controversy?
It will show us if we have a weak HC or not. Its JP's job and everyone knows it. He should start this game and be named the starter. Its just more games by a weak head coach.

You and I have been pretty much in agreement on JP but I think Jauron is probably smart to wait til after this game. Let JP play, play well, and than name him the starter and make it official on Monday. If JP doesn't fumble twice at the end of the second qtr. he would have already been named the starter. Nall is auditioning for the backup QB spot.

What if Nall is terrible?! Is KH the backup?! I'm hoping Nall plays well. That will do more to end the QB controversy in the media. Nall from the outside was never viewed as a legit option. JP doesn't need Kelly hanging over his shoulder. IF JP still sucks after week 8 Nall will get his shot.

IMO JP is a lock at the no.1 spot. The reason why they are making Nall play is to see whether we still need KH .
I think it's the same situation with the rb spot. Theres competition for the no. 2 spot. While Gates is neck and neck with the A-Train, Gates has youth on his side and has the ability to catch coming from the backfield. Could be the reason why Jauron wants A-train to have more snaps.

Agreed. JP needs the first two quarters, Nall the next two. Hey Holcomb got to play without Nall playing for a full game so its not a big deal.

Somebody posted that A-train is on the bubble? I didn't find it in the news. Any links?!
It doesn't matter if it's loser #1 or loser #2 backing up jp. He only needs to worry about his job and becoming the qb he's supposed to be. If jp is too concerned about who's looking over his shoulder, then he's mentally unfit to be the qb of this team.

Uhhh there's a big difference between "playing with confidence" and "playing cautiously." JP needs to know he is the strater so he can play his game. If he's too worried about making mistakes he's going to be back on the bench.

Er? You're telling me someone needs to know they're a starter in order to play well? Who do you think jp is? T.O? Do you know how fast someone can lose their job in this league? He doesn't need to know he's the starter, he needs to play like a starter. He needed reps and he got them to help him get comfortable. That's all he needs.
I never could understand the "quarterback looking over his shoulder" concept. The quarterbacks that look over their shoulder should be looking over their shoulder because those are the ones that are going to fail. How can that be more pressure than running an offense in front of 75,000 fans on national TV in a regualr season game with 250 pound raving homicidal maniacs trying to rip your head off and having to thread a needle 35 yards downfield in 2.9 seconds?
If a guy is worried about his job he isn't concentratig on what he needs to do. He doesn't have the ability to compartmentalize things necessary to succeed in this league. There are 100 scratch golfers for every 1 that can sink the seven foot putt on the 18th hole with all the pressure on him and that is what separates the men from the boys. I knew Holcomb was a career back-up when he was talking about worrying about screwing up when he was in Cleveland. That's a back-ups mentality for a veteran. You can understand it a little from a kid but the guy that allows himself to look over his shoulder while he is in the game might not have the mentality to succeed in this league. And that includes Losman.
