Defensive contributor?

 

[vamosjackets]

Honestly, I like JT as a QB - even at the next level. Quick release, accurate, strong arm ... Oh yeah, and he can run a little bit too.

 

[MikeJackets]

Tomorrow

I think if I were Justin I would try to play quarterback in the CFL.

Never happen in NFL.
Not knocking JT.

he is too small. 5'9, small hands and not a pocket passer.
DB is his best chance unless he tries the CFL route.

I think he could be another Doug Flutie in the CFL.

So he has 24 hours to get up to speed and will only have a walk through before the game.

I don't blame anyone for taking their shot at the NFL. You've got to be confident in your abilities.

Plus, the CFL isn't a guaranteed ticket to a financially feasible life plan. With the average salary around 80k, rookie starting salary around 50k, you'd have to become a star in order to do well for yourself. Starting QBs can make 250-400k, which ain't nothing to spit at, though! I could see JeT being a starting QB pretty quickly, but only after he chases the NFL dream first.

I always found it interesting that the NFL, as a collective, pigeonholed Flutie as a backup or emergency guy only because he was too small to play QB. Every time he got a shot to compete he won.

 

[takethepoints]

I think he should play in the CFL too. He'd fit right in with Canadian football; running QBs do very well up there. Besides, I'd have more excuses to watch the games. They're a hoot and having JT to root for would make them even more enjoyable.

But he should probably try the NFL first for reasons mentioned above.

Best of luck JT, I will tune in.
