Then again, they may not wanna do that. If they sit Russ and Rypien comes in and the offense looks better, they’re gonna be under a lot of pressure from the fanbase to play Rypien.

Not only that, but they will have to try and justify to the fanbase why they traded such a haul and signed a guy to a $240 million dollar extension that’s not any better than the backup they have sitting on the bench.

Talk about a mess that would become.
