Well, McD has flat out denied your theory.
I was never worried about Beasley missing the playoffs anyway. I think Stills has more to do with Davis than Beasley. McD likely values the veteran experience over the rookie who’s still finding his way.
Beasley not practicing was to be expected given McD’s statement that he’s week to week. I wouldn’t expect him to practice at all this week. He may not even practice the first day next week and could be limited after that.
I actually really like this move. I’m not too concerned about Beasley or Brown being ready. I like Stills more than Gabe at this point and he has playoff experience.
Comparing numbers to previous MVP seasons is irrelevant if you omit what other QBs are doing this year as well.
Josh’s numbers may be comparable and he makes a strong argument but there are clearly other players who are also deserving.
