Provided nothing goes off the rails I'm actually somewhat concerned about someone yoinking Wink in the offseason because people haven't learned their lesson about hiring Ravens DCs as head coach yet.

sorry sorry it is very hard not to take the bait sometimes

Anyway on the subject of hiring up coordinators I'd suggest looking at how Vic Fangio's working out in Denver. Past performance does not guarantee future returns and all that

He won them a super bowl, for crying out loud. What is it with otherwise intelligently run teams and this sunk cost poo poo at QB?

I'd question their otherwise intelligence at this point. The one rational thing I can remember them doing all decade was "not even letting Chip Kelly finish out the regular season before telling him to pack his poo poo", and the fan reaction to even that was immediate surprise they actually did it

Pretty clear Nick Foles is not the long term answer for any NFL team. The problem is that Wentz might not be either.

I don't pay attention to the Eagles so I don't know if this was actually a common thing or not, but I'm glad I can finally share here among my people that I wondered about that move quite a bit at the time.

Maybe not, but it was pretty obvious they were keeping one of them and Wentz probably has more upside potential. Foles play in the playoffs last year was pretty uninspiring.

The correct decision would have been to get rid of both guys and draft Lamar.

Not me, watching Ohio State QBs flop in the NFL is one of the few football-related joys that I have left. To be fair to Haskins though, I can't think of a shittier situation to be in.

Haskins was the one though. He had it all, rocket arm, smarts, leadership, pocket awareness. He is the only Ohio State QB I can remember in my lifetime that looked like a real deal can't miss pro prospect. Joe Germaine, Troy Smith, J.T. Barrett, and Craig Krenzel were all smart but lacked physical skills. Miller, Pryor, and Jones were all physical studs, but lacked the mechanics, and leadership needed to compete at an NFL level. Though I still have a very small hope that Jones might one day light it up off the bench. Haskins on the other hand is a prototype for everything a team looks for in a pro QB, and he landed in the one place that is going to ruin him in less than two seasons.

Physically, sure, but he was viewed as pretty raw and in need of work. It's not like he's a generational prospect getting ruined, he's a project getting ruined that might have never worked out anywhere.

Ken Dorsey was fun because even when he "played" for the Browns he was really just an extra QB coach. He was like a baseball manager where he got to dress up like the players, but was never supposed to go into the games. I remember one time our first, and second stringer got hurt, and rather than put in Dorsey Josh Cribbs went in at QB for a series or two.

Yea, I actually feel bad for him. It's not his fault he sucks, I believe all the press about how he's a very hard worker, but the idiots running the team have basically set him up for humiliation by asking him to do the impossible and be a good QB.

I didn't think that SNF tonight would make me feel bad for Mitch, but it somehow did.

I'm really wondering how MNF is gonna go. The past two primetime games have been some roller-coasters.

Benched trubs down 10 wirh 3:30 to go and 3 timeouts, and Mitch wasn't playing any worse than normal with lots of drops from his wrs . Just stick with him, or bench him at half after the scoreless first half, or bench him either or the last two weeks after their even worse halves

This was one of the better all around games Mitch had and yet it's the one he got benched in
