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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Hold's the ball too long/poor internal clock. Pocket awareness is lacking. Not as quick to make a decision
I do respect what he did last year taking Seattle on a nice run at the end of the year with a torn pec. Maybe he's a better player than the Minn version

I would rather have Fitz a thousand times more than J.P. Lossman again or scared Trent Edwards for that matter. We may not be an elite team but at least the offense is fun to watch at times, the defense is a whole other story.
Face it...for whatever reasoning Gailey has, barring another epic collapse we're riding Fitz for the rest of this season and Thigpen will probably remain the #2.

I was actually wondering this myself. Late in the game, it was a blowout and Fitz had already thrown 3 picks. Why not let Jackson get in there? Fitz ended up throwing another pick anyway, so it's not like Jackson could have done worse.
And no, I don't foster any delusions that Tarvaris Jackson is the answer. I just don't see the point of leaving Fitz in a game that's out of hand where he's playing like absolute garbage. It's disconcerting that even Gailey has such little faith in our back-ups, especially since one was hand-picked from Gailey's former team.
What I've gathered from this thread: Fitz is slightly better in the pocket, Jackson has a stronger arm. Other than that, they're exactly the same: inaccurate passers who don't make quick decisions but can keep plays alive with their feet.
Negatives:
Locks onto his primary target too often. Holds the ball too long and lacks decisiveness on quick, timing plays (i.e. 3-step drops, slant routes, quick outs, etc.), often resulting in a pocket flush and unnecessary improvisation. Despite possessing athleticism and mobility to escape the pocket, he lacks a strong feel for pressure around him, and takes sacks too easily. Needs play action or shotgun to put together any kind of consistent passing rhythm, as these plays allow him to see the field better and buy more time. Slow through progressions, and can’t be counted on to consistently get the ball out on time when asked to lead his target. Will abandon footwork and mechanics under pressure, and too often throws off balance leading to a sail on the stick routes, or excessive loft and underthrow on vertical routes. Went into the 4th quarter of several games with a chance to win in 2011, but couldn’t finish with winning drives.
Positives and Summary also in that link.
COMING SOON...
