Jake says he's proven he's a starter and top 32 in the world at his position

He then subsequently fell out of the league a few years later after getting just 1 start across 3 years.
The reality is no one really cares about the starters in the 25-32 range. Those are the guys who are replaced yearly with draft picks and backups that make it seem like they might be something better.

So be careful what you wish for, Jake.

Didn't AJ get injured during that time, though?

I agree that no one cares about those 25-32 QB's and that they're always replaced, but that doesn't mean Jake isn't one of them. 

Being a guy who is brought in to compete or hold things down until a rookie is ready (ala Dalton since he left) is a promotion over what Browning is now or what he came into this season as.

Good for him if he can even be viewed as one of those 25-32 guys. He would get a raise if that happens.
