I think it’s foolish to wait til you are losing by a lot to make a change at qb if the results you’ve been getting from said qb aren’t actually helping the team win. I think we’ve won despite our qb play, not because of, so waiting til we are down to make the move justifiable doesn’t make sense in my mind.
Maybe, but show me a coach that has done it, in the past, pro or college. It is really easy on the outside looking in to say sure, just make the change, but when your job/salary/reputation is at risk, it isn't an easy call, I don't care who you are or what your job is.
I have managed people for years, and I can honestly say I have never fired someone too soon. It is human nature to want people to work out.
We have ALL been sports fans for a very long time, I still challenge all of you to find a football coach that makes a QB change mid-season when his team is winning. You may find a couple examples in the entire time you have been a fan, but it sure isn't that often. That is my point, it is the human condition.
I don’t think our qb play has worked.
And Vic, it’s okay if I have an opinion.
It also isn’t that often to have a winning team with sub par qb play, so we are looking for a small sample set, but I will oblige and try to find examples of it.
And to your analogy of business, plenty of successful companies have re assigned people to different tasks if they weren’t performing satisfactorily. LL wouldn’t be “fired” I still think he serves an important purpose on this roster.
There is no doubt that sports has become one of the biggest businesses in America, amateur as well as professional.
So getting benched is not the same thing as being fired, you’d agree.
There are definitely examples, but very few companies make changes in the production line when the product is winning.
