Jeezuz folks get some perspective - Page 7

It isn't the end of the world that an unproven, inexperience QB didn't win the starting job right now. Earlier today I looked up at the sky and it is definately still up there. Hasn't fallen a bit.

Brodie isn't ready. It's that simple. He doesn't even have his mechanics down. He rushes things. He makes bad descisons. And he's got his whole career ahead of him. Don't you think maybe this will be a bit of a wake up call to him to get his shit together? Don't you think it will make him work even harder to be the guy we all hope he can be when the time comes? Isn't it better to let a guy who obviously isn't ready, sit back, get some perspective himself and come in once the O-line is (hopefully) a little more stable and LJ has found his stride?

Huard isn't great but he was solid last year and anyone who disputes that isn't looking at the big picture. Yes he had some issues. He was also the second rated passer in the NFL and lead us to the playoffs. It certainly wasn't his fault we didn't win once we were there. We know he can handle being the starter. Croyle.... not so much.

Excuse Herm and Carl and the whole organization for trying to put the best players on the field to start a season and maybe... just maybe trying to win a game or two. Many of us have little hope for a good season... no matter who plays QB. I'm glad the people who run the team don't have that same degree of low or no expectations. I mean how dare they try to compete with players who've proven they can.

Brodie will get his chance...probably even this year. I for one thank Herm and Carl for not handing the team over to a guy who may just get his ass and his confidence broken in two right from the start. Brodie will be a better QB later... when he's ready... for not having to try to sail a potentially sinkng ship now.

And who knows... we may not even be that bad.

it's sad when people are so wrong with their arguement they have to call people names. I remember when you could just talk football and leave all the "moron" and "reeruned" comments out of it. It's just for fun leave the personal attacks out of it

The LB over him blitzes. Looks like Wilson is running free, except the corner is already in that zone. Even it Croyle throws to the pylon, the CB is going to be in a better position than Wilson, because he his aready back deep in that zone. Just a bad read.

You're right - it was zone. But the throw was aweful any way you look at it.

"as soon as Brodie has more experience we'll let him play"

"Brodie will be injured if we play him, so we are going to start Huard...who is, uh, injured right now...."

"Philip Rivers sat behind Drew Brees for 3 years, Brodie should do the same....so we're trading him to New Orleans."
