I heard that Jones had been putting the work in all last year when he was on the practice squad and attending meetings. His transformation wasn’t a three month deal after Stick was drafted, it was him putting in the work for twelve months. My guess is keep Jones, sign Stick to the practice squad, and perhaps trade Jones for a low-round pick when injuries occur around the NFL before the trade deadline. If the bold above is true, the disconnect between TT and Coaching staff must be crazy. Why in the world would they use a pick on a QB if there simply was no perceived need?
I doubt there is much trade value in Jones, but who knows......be nice to get a 5th, eh. Because they had no idea of the outcome of Jones' transformation back in the Spring Draft. Further, Jones will never be our franchis QB, Rivers is 107 years old. They had to roll the dice with a mid-round moonshot QB. Meh, its worth the shot. Can you imagine if it pans out ? Wow, the value.

I join all of you in the shock of what I write: I'm with you. I think Jones won camp and preseason over Stick. Now, what the hell do we do ? We used a draft pick on Stickie this Spring. That bothers GM's to no end. TT will fight for him because of that. I join the Goalie and you guys. They have to try and slip him into the PS, and just hope he don't get poached. Love you guys that want an OT for Cardale. You might get a HS prospect at OT. "You might get a HS prospect at OT." which they already have in Pipkins according to you...... Well, yeah. Just trying to upgrade there.

That’s putting a positive spin on it. Now that Jones has shown that he is light years ahead of Stick, who will be the first one in with the “since Stick stinks we should only carry two QB’s on our 53 man roster”? You evidently.  I told my wife last night, that Stick was probably told beforehand to stink it up last night, so they could move him to the PS. Why keep Cardale around for two years if you weren't going to give him a shot to compete? He had a great camp (103 passer rating in the preseason). Dude earned a spot. Stick stunk. Dems that facts.

We could cut Jones and send Stick to the PS. We have Rivers, who is Iron Man. Then we have Taylor. They both go down and its not going to matter anyway. At that point you can call Jones back from Home Depot and play him. Would open a roster spot. IMO, Jones played well after the first game. If we cut him someone else will be happy to pick him up, he won't end up at home Depot. Stick should be okay on the PT, his picks will keep others from being interested.

I have to say that from the time I arrived at training camp and saw that Jones had changed his body from a pudgy and puffed-up build to a fairly lean physique, it’s obvious that he put in a lot of work over the past year. Add in his much calmer presence in the pocket, progressing through reads and much sharper delivery, I find myself in a surprising position where I believe that he earned a roster spot. I thought that AL was blowing smoke about Cardale when he talked to the media the past couple of months, but I was wrong. From the moment that they drafted Stick after giving Taylor a hefty $$$ upfront deal, I believe that the brass had reserved a 3rd QB slot on the active roster, and Cardale won the competition. I join all of you in the shock of what I write: I'm with you. I think Jones won camp and preseason over Stick. Now, what the hell do we do ? We used a draft pick on Stickie this Spring. That bothers GM's to no end. TT will fight for him because of that. I join the Goalie and you guys. They have to try and slip him into the PS, and just hope he don't get poached. Love you guys that want an OT for Cardale. You might get a HS prospect at OT. Late round draft pick after injuries start occurring is the best that they’ll get ... and to make it clear, teams wouldn’t be trading for him to be a starter, only as a backup after a starter goes down. |

The facts aside, the projections are Cardale will never be much in the NFL, and Stick is an unknown entity. Jones gets cut......

Jones will get picked up.
He showed enough promise that he is finally getting it.

Watch him get picked up by the Colts so they can pick his brain as to our playbook Wouldn’t surprise me if the Colts sign him due to Luck’s retirement. However, the Chargers haven’t put together a game plan since last January, so if they wish to dive into the 1,000 plays in the playbook they can be my guest! |

Looking even more likely that Indy may be Jones’ destination:

This ^ exactly......not a chance in hell Jones could teach the Colts much, especially since the Colts will be focused on installing the game plan that has been in the works for a good bit.

Is this thread for college preseason games too, or just nfl?
