If we were looking for perfection BEFORE putting players out on the field, the entire team would have stayed off the field Sunday night.
This just in: the ENTIRE ROSTER wasn't ready for prime time on Sunday. Since we aren't making the playoffs, the standard has to change from "who gives us the best chance to win" to "what's the best way to get JP ready for next year".
I think MM is on the right track with this (so far). You keep DB as the starter until you lose 1 more time (which should be soon). Then you go with JP from then on.
It's not about this year folks, it's about next year.
BTW, who else thinks that part of MM's thinking with putting JP in was to light a fire under DB and get him thinking a bit?
