Jerry Jones was not nice about Lee....
- Thread starter little a
- Start date
He knows football enough to know that Tanner Lee is a turnover machine.
Well how the tweet went was this. Tanner Lee was coming in for his repetition during practice and Jones made the statement......"lets see what the turnover machine does now". Immediately Tanner threw a pick-6. Jones was standing there with an unlit cigar in his mouth and said "I still got it" whereas everyone started laughing. The person who tweeted it said it was the funniest moment of practice.
I’ve read much worse from Husker fans on message boards regarding Lee.
Wait, didn't Jerry hear how good Lee was from Archie Manning?
Good to see the broken clock was right at least once. JJ hasn't had a relevant team on the field since???? Glad he got it right, Lee is a backup at best in the league.
Just funny JJ is seen as a great mind of on the field evaluations.

You are right - however I got a better feel for why watching what I could this week. He has bad mechanics - especially setting his feet and body to make the throw (his arm mechanics don't appear to be the root of the issue). He makes accurate throws when he uses proper mechanics (no pass rush). Also - the time to get the ball out when he decides to throw is slow - so both decision making and release need to improve. I think alot of that could be fixed and it also explains why in 7 on 7 drills he is a beast. Big arm and without the rush messing up his feet/body location - he gets the ball where it needs to go. He has the toughness to stand there and get hit - which is more than alot of QBs have. So if someone is willing to work with him on how to get his feet and body right when the rush is all over him - he might make it as a NFL QB. His lack of mobility ain't fixable.....that might limit his opportunities.
I'm a Steelers fan and love seeing the cowboys in pain, but sad to see a team with tradition being in the state they are in on the field. Won't get to a conference title game in the next 5 years easy.
Jerry Jones hasn't won **** since Jimmy Johnson left. (Switzer had all of Jimmy's guys) That being said his analysis of Tanner Lee is accurate.
He knows Huskers, for sure. He sure knew what he was talking about when he took future Hall of Famer Randy Gregory when other teams were scared away.
I'm sure it elicited a laugh from all the sycophants hanging around JJ, but he called him a "turnover machine" and then said "let's see what happens next." Not exactly a hot take there, Nostradamus.
I believe Tanner Lee has an NFL arm and will probably have an opportunity for some team willing to take the risk.
I don't care one way or another if Lee makes a roster but I would gladly take a mule kick to the groin if doing so would guarantee that Tanner Lee throws a late TD pass to beat the Cowboys by one point in the NFC championship game....... preferably at AT & T Stadium with Jones watching on the sidelines.
