I'm sure he has plenty of wisdom based on his many years of NFL experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more of a "someone that Allen can ask questions about the game". Who would you rather have him be talking to, A guy that has played the position for 12 years or the QB coach who hasn't coached QB's since 1982?

Actually, Manning came in for Warner, who was in his 30s. Manning wasn’t benched that year. However, there were a number of QBs with great careers benched early including Bob Griese, Ken Stabler and Roger Staubach (I think). Most recently, and topically, Drew Brees was benched for Doug Flutie his second year in SD. He ended up with a pretty good career, I think. ? https://es.pn/2bkYpSo Edited October 10, 2018 by BisonMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Smith Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 1 hour ago, LSHMEAB said: You mean the situation where the QB we drafted wasn't very good? McDermott is here to win games. While unlikely, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that he trots DA out there if the offense continues to play like garbage. How can you tell if he's good if you yank him not even halfway through the season. DA is not that good, maybe 20 yrs ago. I'm putting my money on the kid and let him take his lumps and grow. Also do you really think DA will do any better with the offensive weapons at his disposal? Not likely, if McD wants to win then you get that kid some better tools to do his job correctly.

I think there is a strong possibility that once the vet is up to speed......Peterman is cut or to practice squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supports my point. Only way Allen can inexplicably regain a Franchise QB status in Buffalo upon getting benched in favor of Derek Anderson is if McDermott is fired after the season while Beane stays and distances himself from McDermott and the decision. That’s it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s it. Bree’s came back and started the next season and was very good but his “career ending” shoulder injury made SD release him with the unproven Rivers on the bench (worked out for both). NO took a chance on him. Smart move. So, ignore the other examples I gave? Elway was benched his rookie year, wasn’t traded, HOF. Alex Smith as well but the new regime though Kaep was the future. Smith is still a starter in the league. It’s not hard to find these examples as this is more common than you might think. I haven’t scoured the entire “history of the NFL”.
