JC Jackson is INACTIVE today.

biggest bust since David Boston?

Can't call a player a bust when he's been injured (although admittedly he wasn't playing well before the injury).

Has to be more to the story. What did he do last night?

7 years ago he should of been fired

He’s a healthy scratch. $82m doesn’t go as far as it used to these days.

Told Staley that he sucks and if BB was the coach we’d be holding teams to under 20?

I think results to date show that he hasn't fully recovered from his injury, so calling him a "healthy scratch" is a stretch.

The team we play today has the best WR in football and a 1st rnd rookie WR who's impressed in his first two games, and our $82.5 mil cornerback is a healthy scratch.

This is not good. I have a feeling this is going to be a very lopsided game

If they lose today - seriously, the organization needs to assess a few things

He may be a "healthy" scratch, but I wonder if he's on a bit of a pitch count early in the season.

I am doing my best to give this guy the benefit of the doubt because his injury truly was severe.

[Velo]

When Belichick wasn't interested in making an offer to retain him Staley and Telesco should've asked themselves why. JCJ is on the books for $20 mil this season and $18.125 mil for next season, but that is the extent of his guaranteed contract. "Only" $54.375 mil of his contract is guaranteed. If the relationship has really gone south, they can release him but the will still owe him the full amount of his guarantee and it will count against the cap.

We've had all manner of heartbreak and odd ways to lose ges under Staley... maybe we are just due for an old fashioned beat down?

Down 0-2 facing the very real prospect of 0-3 and a finished season...these are the type of games that can define a team/player/coach.

Is Staley that kind of coach? Is Herbert that kind of QB to say enough is enough, stop the bleeding and carry us? Or will he just pad his yards and completions but fail to rise to the occasion when it matters?

Let's see.
