Keep in mind, Trevor himself has run and fumbled. You said he took off running but then you said he’s a statue. Kinda contradictory ain’t it?
Look no one thinks Beathard is anything other than a backup but there’s a reason he’s in the league and a reason Doug (who knows a thing or two about QBs) has him as his backup.
I don’t know how things are going to go against Cleveland but the defense is going to have to play much better than they did Monday night or it won’t matter who’s behind center.
He is a statue but he did run because he had no choice and the LBs were way off the line. Doug has stated the reasons and performance wasn't brought up, only friendship and knowing the offense.

He's more competent than most people realize and I think we'll actually see some exciting stuff out of this offense still with him in the line-up this week and/or next week.
Keep an eye out for Tim Jones. Might be his turn to step up and make a splash play or two downfield.
Prevent defense is the cause. The coverage was dropping deep and the middle was open. He couldn't do anything when the defense stopped playing prevent. The deep was all WR, other than the QB just throwing it.

He did ok but most QBs could do that. Watch the defense that was being played, the middle underneath was wide open in the zone they were playing. They were generally in prevent. The Ridley pass was good but he also just threw it up, it wasn't anything special.
I'll be shocked if he isn't injured in this game.

Most QBs or most QB2s? Regardless, he doesn't get time with the ones in practice, we're over halfway through the season and he came off the bench cold and did a decent job. I'm not going to be down on the guy for basically having to "roll out of bed and hit the NYC Marathon" in a matter of minutes.
He's in practice for Sunday's game and we'll see what happens. He is QB2 for a reason but I'm hoping for the best.
Most QBs on NFL rosters could throw the ball short and over the middle with the defense playing prevent and dropping the LBs way to far back. As soon as they were close to the 20, the defense changed and they stalled.
The one thing that CJ seems to do better is at least throw the deep ball. He's done that in the preseason but he hasn't completed a lot. Everyone else will have to make up for his play if they want to win.
