I feel you. In fact, days before the draft I had a feeling we would take EJ but I was thinking 2nd or 3rd round.
He's got some mechanical issues that if fixed I think could help his accuracy. But that just further drives home the point he was drafted too high. He's still pretty raw. I don't think he needs to sit because the reps will help him. But a real NFL coach would help him too.
All in all, I don't think EJ will ever break out. At the end of the day he just isn't accurate enough. And he knows it that's why he plays it safe. EJ reminds me of an old lady at a stop sign who waits until there's NO cars in sight to go. If a receiver isn't WIDE open, he's not throwing it. Problem is, you rarely see receivers that open in the NFL. He's a game manager but with a little bit of creativity (see Scott Chandler play in 1st half). He needs a good defense, strong running game and some RAC to win but at least he won't throw the game away for you.
If Geno was here he'd be throwing 3 picks a game trying to force it into triple coverage and that would be the complaint.
Step #1 is getting a real coach because with so much parity in the league, that's something that can separate you. Marrone was 7-6 at Syracuse, why the fukk would they expect playoffs outta him in the NFL?
