What is with the Jay bashing?
I almost understand it if you really think Dave is just going to start Jay blindly. Once again, I have to suggest that you put any anger about that sort of thing happening squarely on Dave's shoulders. Unless you can show us that Jay has dirt on Dave that he is using for extortion purposes, I can't blame Jay for it at all.
I think many of you remember that I'm really fond of Jay. Even I think it's probably over for him as a starter. He has backup-level talent, and he will do an excellent job in that role starting this year. I certainly want a guy like him in that role instead of a Ray Lucas or Brian Griese. If AJ gets hurt and Jay needs to step in, he will be capable of giving us 3 quarters or 2 games worth of decent play to get us over the rough patch. Feel what you want about his record as a starter, but don't hate Jay because he is our backup.
