The game last night was a microcosm of Justin’s time here. Some flash plays that leave you wanting more.
But ultimately when we need a big throw to convert on third and long to move he chains, he can’t do it consistently. When we need him to be a difference maker in the redzone and punch the ball into the endzone, he can’t do it. When we need a drive to win the game late in the 4th quarter, majority of the time he can’t do it.
I know he technically led a game winning field goal drive last night. But let’s be honest, he was fortunate to get multiple chances at it despite fumbling twice late in the 4th. He’s only been able to do it 3 times in 3 seasons.
As badly as I wanted Justin to work out, it’s just not going to happen. In his third year he hasn’t developed the skills necessary to play QB at the NFL level. So with the opportunity to take a highly regarded QB prospect at the top of the draft, we have to move on.
Its not a question at this point.
