If it came down to a choice between a third QB and Jean Baptiste, I'd keep Griffin and Baptiste and see if they develop.

Which guys are you referring to? Who isn't for giving him some time?

He is playing like a rookie with very little positional awareness. But that can be coached up and he would greatly benefit from pro coaches.

if you think we drafted him to start right away boy did ya miss the boat on that one. it all about upside.

Still, a second round pick?

Corey White is relentlessly bashed, and he was a 2 or 3 year project selected in the 5th round.

If SJB doesn't look like Richard Marshall by game 3, those same people will start bashing this pick.

SJB is not, and never was supposed to be a starter in 2014. Those that think that just don't get the whole draft process.

JB is a long shot, I'm thinking practice Squad. That might be a long as well

He is not going to be on the practice squad. He would be claimed of the squad on day one
