Who would you sign at this point as a replacement that would not be available later on? Also since we will probably keep only 2 QB's on the 53 we would then have to have whoever we signed clear waivers. It would be easier (and cheaper) to wait and pick up a practice squad QB after cuts.

Watching Doug's interview we can assume Jones is our backup this year.  Doug has his #2 QB from the look on his face and is quite happy about it.  I would offer CJ an opportunity on our practice squad at the least if we decide to keep 2 QB's.  Jones just might be too good and expensive to keep as a #2 after this year. CJ missed the jail breaks at the beginning of a few plays back pedaling when he should have turned and run, which is correctable.  The shame is that after that series our line began to pick up what was going on a bit better.

We have to play our top two QBs this week. I would certainly want a third guy available; imagine if Mac gets hurt on his first drive, you ok with running TLaw back out there? I'm not. In fact, I'd get new third guy on the field ASAP to keep Jones in bubble wrap this week. I don't like that Lawrence will be playing but I understand it, I wouldn't risk both of our guys this week if I could help it.

And there's zero chance Mac Jones is here after this year, he's going to be at least competing for a starting job somewhere else in 2025.

Fix the O-Line!
