And I'll tell you this also Ghost of Authement. The whole 2 QB thing. There's a reason why the whole cliche thing of if you have two QBs you have no QBs is a cliche. Because you aren't showing CONFIDENCE in either player. And without CONFIDENCE there is no ability to lead. Someone is gonna get their feelings hurt. But whether it's fair, or not, right, or not, Mike is gonna have to make a damn decision about WHO is gonna lead his team, or he isn't gonna have a team to lead in a couple of weeks. Got it?
You are comparing year 4 Billy to year 1 mike. Year 1 Billy went 7-7 and that wasn’t all because of the talent level. Billy learned some things the hard way his first year too. Billy is still learning. Not sure why Mike is expected to have it all figured out in the 5th game of his career. Glad you bring up the saints, it’s strange how people weren’t saying the things about Dennis Allen that they said about Mike. That Rita benson was too cheap to hire anyone else. That an NFL team would hire from within Is small time. They hired a guy with previous experience too, a horrible experience.
In many ways, what Mike is going through is perfectly parallel to what DA is experiencing. But Mike should have kept the fall camp like it was before for the simple reason that the more that is expected of a player, the more that player will be forced to buy in & take ownership. And the whole 2 QB thing I have just gone through adnauseum. I'm not about firing Mike. I want the guy to succeed. But he is going to have to realize that his way is not always the right way, at least at first. To think that 18-22 year old guys are going to do all the right things like diet & rest & study on their own is just blatantly naive. And while the two QB thing isn't so bad the first game, or two against inferior competition, at some point he has to make a decision as to whom he believes in, or he will have a sinking ship with no buckets to bail himself out.
How many more books are there on two simple concepts?
As to the first, we will see what he learned come spring training next year.
As to the second, hopefully his game plan this weekend will show he has settled on primarily one QB.
How many more ways are you going to address these two concepts?
