Just take JJ or Maye. This guy clearly would prefer not to be here. How many times did Caleb have to say he was okay going to Chicago. Once by my recollection and it never came up again, seems like JD is clearly trying to put out smoke he’d rather not be here without coming across like a total diva.

Maybe as an Alex Smith style guy once his legs go? His arm isn’t anything special, usually those guys who have super long careers in one place have arm strength to spare as they move into their mid 30’s. JD doesn’t have that IMO. He’d be a guy I’d be really nervous about giving a long term big money second contract to regardless of how the rookie contract plays out.

Unfortunately I fear you might be right. The optimistic view IMO is he starts out on fire until the nagging injuries start to accumulate and gradually sap him of his explosiveness by the end of his rookie deal or shortly thereafter. Sort of like Mariota except he didn’t come out of the gate all that strongly but the minor injuries took their toll rather than a single catastrophic one.

Coaches always go for the sugar high of the quick fix, which a running qb almost always is. Hopefully Peters can look at the bigger of what can Maye be in year 3 vs Jayden. Particularly if the hits on his undersized frame start adding up. I’m not even talking a catastrophic injury, just thinking back to Mariota as a young player and how always seemed to get dinged up every year and it eventually sapped a lot of his explosiveness. Then what?
