"Jay Davis isn't into self deceit. The ex-N.C. State quarterback is still locked in on the same profession -- coaching -- he's pursued for years. But something happened a few days back that almost no one else expected. It was enough to make Davis at least fine tune his thinking about the future. He went to a Tampa Bay Buccaneers tryout camp, and left as the surprise of the show. "He's certainly got enough talent to be a guy you could potentially see playing ... in the NFL," Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden told reporters after the workouts. "Who knows? Before it's all said and done, maybe he is guy we can squeeze into training camp.""

Quote :

"There's a chance Davis will get a return call from the Jets, but Tampa Bay is more of a possibility. At season's end, the Bucs were carrying only three quarterbacks on their roster. They used a sixth-round draft pick on Toledo's Bruce Gradkowski, who hardly upstaged Davis at the mid-May workouts."

"Marcus, let me show you how to throw an interception at a really unfortunate time..."

5/23/2006 2:03:34 PM

"I think I've already got that one figured out, thanks Jay."

5/23/2006 2:04:10 PM

haha

awesome

5/23/2006 2:09:18 PM

Marcus' response to the interception remark a few posts up:

"Wait, you mean you actually throw the ball?"

5/23/2006 3:05:41 PM

as the ONLY wholehearted Jay supporter on TWW, this REALLY makes me happy

5/23/2006 3:08:15 PM

does this mean they are hiring at the saucer?

5/23/2006 3:11:19 PM

It's good to see Jay continues to be classy about the whole situation. I wish the best for Jay, be it on the sidelines or on the field.

5/23/2006 3:12:47 PM

he doesn't have much of a choice, its not like he is in a position of power here. If he acts like a dick, he won't have a chance to play or coach.

You weren't the only one. I did and CharlieEFH.

But anyhow GG Jay. I hope he makes it and plays 5 years in the league and collects a big check and comes back to Carter-Finley and says fuck all of you that booed.

5/23/2006 3:52:19 PM

props to Jay for growing a pair, but if he goes to the Jets, this guy will just make him look bad again:

no matter how good he does in the nfl, it won't change the fact that he was crap @ state.

whenever I say a partial quote like this

I get suspicious...hell, for all we know Gruden's full quote could've been "Ahahahahahaha! He's certainly got enough talent to be a guy you could potentially see playing waterboy in the NFL"

I supported Jay...but mostly because I thought Marcus Stone was fucking abysmal.

5/23/2006 7:33:16 PM

i was always behind jay

i spit on a dude for booing

george o'leary approves of jay davis

5/23/2006 9:35:17 PM

What if...

Jay Davis does well at the Tampa training camp.
Jay Davis gets some pre-season playing time in Tampa.
Some shit goes down in Tampa, and Davis has to start.

We get to see Davis get rocked by Peppers 2 times a year

5/23/2006 11:41:43 PM

nah, the Bucs actually have an O-Line

that's why he got sacked/threw INTs

5/23/2006 11:43:40 PM

^hahaha he threw INT's b/c he was terrible well 80% terrible 20% Oline

5/24/2006 12:22:51 AM

75% of his interceptions were from throws he made as he was getting sacked

5/24/2006 12:44:06 AM

5/24/2006 12:51:05 AM

75% of his interceptions were because the kid couldnt read coverage downfield

Does anyone expect Gruden or any NFL coach to say about any free agent tryout "Player X is terrible, I can't believe he bothered to show up." Read between the lines here folks when an NFL coach says "I think Player X has the potential to make it in the NFL...." I admire his class through the entire booing situation. However, nothing can change the fact that an NFL quarterback will have to demonstrate the ability to throw the ball 30+ yards, allowing DB's and LB's to cover a small area and create major traffic is disaster for a QB.

5/24/2006 1:28:04 AM

Hey guys if he was really that bad he wouldn't get a shot at all.

I mean Cotra Jackson wasn't offered a tryout. It's not like everyone that plays college ball gets a chance.

Then they go back and erase some of the "L"s on our record during Jay Davis' tenure and replace them with "W"s. They even put two "W"s down for the UNC games.

Trestman was on Gruden's staff in Oakland, so Jay probably is already familiar with the offense.

5/24/2006 9:46:09 AM

^^ youre missing the fucking point

if we had a quarterback here for 2 years that was so horrible

and then he all of a sudden becomes an NFL qb, backup or otherwise

something was wrong with our coaching staffs development of that player.

5/24/2006 9:49:25 AM

But Trestman is the end all be all!!!

Look at what he did/is doing with Stone........

5/24/2006 9:50:45 AM

I seriously hope that any of the Jay Davis supporters (well I wish him the best and all)...but I guess that any of the Jay Davis backers, who have been with him through all the hard times...I really seriously hope that you guys were behind Herb too...cause Herb > Jay

Actually he was.

Jay doesn't have an agent. The Jets and Bucs contacted him and invited him to try out, come to camps, etc. It's not like he just showed up univited.

That would be me. I think most people who supported one would have supported the other.

Quote :

"75% of his interceptions were from throws he made as he was getting sacked"

is that supposed to make it better? taking a sack is always better than throwing an interception.

and all they have said is he had talent. i dont think anyone ever questioned his talent, he was a top 25 prospect coming out of high school. the thing is question is his decision making ability, same with marcus. marcus basically had a little more talent and a little less brains.

that said, i hope he succeeds as long as he doesnt go willie parker on us.
