So let’s keep this thread focused more on the offense holistically and less about what quarterback we prefer, quarterback break down development etc.
After listening to Harbaugh’s press conference today, it seems that Joe will be ready to dress for games going forward. Harbaugh said that Joe is, and I’m quoting, too good of a player to not play. Might mean something, might mean nothing other than that Joe will be the back up.
Those who have seen me posting over the past couple weeks know that I am skeptical and critical of Jackson and more of a Flacco fan. That said Jackson is electrifying and fun to watch, and I can’t argue that the offense seems to move the chains more consistently and hold onto the ball longer with Jackson in at quarterback.
But to give our team the best chance to win, what should we do moving forward? Jackson is easily the most dynamic offense of player we have and I’m not a fan of keeping him off the field to be honest. Even if Joe becomes the starter again, I would be disappointed if I didn’t see Jackson on the field at least 30% of the time.
Jackson is dynamic, electrifying but he’s raw and inexperienced. Joe has seen everything in this league and is the better thrower But the offense wasn’t doing as good when he was playing because of issues on the offensive line and the running game which Jackson helps to mask or elevate.
I think we should play both 50/50 going forward, maybe a slight lean towards Jackson. I think playing Jackson for maybe 60%-ish of snaps/drives provide some consistency while mixing Joe in provides a bit of a change up and ability to move down the field quickly if need be. And of course both can play on the field at once but I’d like to see Joe not just stand there, even if it’s just a good show or something.
I completely understand anyone having the view that Jackson should remain the starter and take most of or all the snaps but I’m curious to see if anyone thinks similar to me either right out the back or after listening to what I have to say and thinking about it. Vote for what you think and let’s be respectful and again keep the dialogue and chat focused on the offense as a whole and not get too nit picky into the quarterback comparison from a preferential perspective.
