Who said he stands against other conference QBs?Sorry, but you are really reaching.
Plus, your argument is a red herring, anyhow. Just because JG might be better than the other QBs from last season’s team (and that is debatable)...does not in any way prove where he stands against other QBs in the conference.
The bottom line is that he has to improve, because we need way more from that position than we got last season.
