I feel for KW. When he made the decision to come back we had:
A veteran playoff QB
A stout (albeit batsh@$) OL with some depth
He was given the Aaron Schobel treatment with one playoff game exception. It’s a shame. He deserved better. I wish we could have given him the proper send off.
You might be a redneck if your football team can’t win when they’re trying and can’t even lose when they’re tanking. Get ‘er done. Here’s your sign. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
After tonight’s sad but free advertisement, the rest of the NFL knows we’re contending for top draft picks. KB, McCoy, and Lawson are obviously on the block. Other FOs are probably salivating over our defensive players. I have zero confidence McBeane and co could pass up picks for our best. Sounds like a process move to trade a Hughes for late round picks. Here’s hoping the fire sale nets us a profit and not a net roster loss.
Like this franchise, the rules of probability don’t seem to apply to us. We defied the odds for the playoff drought, Peterman defies the odds for bad luck/jitters/voodoo curse/whatever is wrong with him.
Take the Texans game, he actually was on the way to actually winning one and putting one shred of doubt in people’s minds as to whether or not he was the worse QB ever when he had competency diarrhea.
But I would agree with starting him once mathematically eliminated. Why not use him? Allen might actually do great. Then where would we be? 6-10 and back in the #16-18 pick like usual.
As it was repeated ad nauseam, I know it’s only preseason, and I’m still totally not panicking. But say, hypothetically, we don’t run the table and finish 11-5. At what point do you start taking back your Sundays?
