Well, it looks like Jay's going to battle Tony Romo for new broadcaster of the year honors.
I wonder if you all have an opinion if he was ever an option for us? I think he wanted to be a guaranteed starter - something that we probably wouldn't do. At the same time, he at least has a history with Gase and that's why I bring it up. Would you have been in favor of him being a Dolphin this year?
While I don't want to stunt Ryan's further development any, he is coming off a knee injury. The only way I'm in favor of Jay coming on board is with Gase getting with Ryan and Matt and explaining why he would like to bring him in - it's insurance in the event Ryan isn't 100%. Jay would first have to show that he can beat out Matt for the backup role and then would ascend to the starter position ONLY if Ryan can't go. I don't know - maybe Adam considered it, maybe he didn't but he does have the history with Cutler to at least think about it. If the money wasn't too high a hurdle for the team, would you have been OK with this?
I'm not sure Jay was interested in anything other than being a #1 and league-wide it looks like most clubs said, "sorry, we have other options/plans". I know he's not necessarily the best locker room guy either so that figures into this as well.
What say you?
