[QUOTE="stylee, post: 464683, member: 882"] Just thinking as I was watching that ugly game: if CPJ were thinking primarily about saving his own hide, he’d have an interesting quarterback dilemma. The coaches watch the players every day. They know, in most cases, who gives us a better chance to win at each position. We can doubt that but historically the evidence has mostly shown the head coach to be right about his quarterbacks in particular. Tevin being superior to Vad, even through the air, is a good example. But pragmatically, might having a worse chance to win be better for keeping his job? Wouldn’t the fan base be more excited seeing Graham or Oliver, even if only in the short term? Note that I’m not talking about giving either guy “experience for next year.” I’m just talking about instant gratification for fans. Or let me put it this way: let’s you, YOU, knew that either way our ceiling is 5 wins or something. Would you more likely to vote “yay” to keeping CPJ if he tried to hit those 5 wins with some fresh blood? [/QUOTE]
