Jake ranked at 16 last year.
Not sure why everyone wants to downplay his success....
No one is downplaying it. He is surrounded by guys like Geno smith, baker mayfield, Russel Wilson, Derek Carr. You could argue that 3/4 teams that signed these guys to contracts 2-3 years ago had buyers remorse. Being a back end starting level qb really just relegates you to a backup/bridge option. That’s not a knock on him, but why would anyone happily sign up for average qb play? We saw how well that worked with Andy dalton. Since dalton left here, he hasn’t sniffed a real starting role . Jake would be no different.
Seems to me that we overrate middling qb play here in Cincy.
