Jet Nut Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Didn't Fitz get benched for Mallet last season and only get the job back because Mallet blew a knee? Then when given a choice this season between Mallet and Fitz, didn't they keep Mallet over Fitz? Which when rating players is as close to pure gold as it gets on an internet forum.

bostonmajet Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Aaron Rogers and Russel Wilson for a start. We have never had a fair QB competition here. In every case the outcome was rigged in favor of the QB who the GM wanted. Every time it looks like we are finally going to get one then the chorus of a$$holes step forward to whine loudly in support of the notion that QB competitions are bad. The only reason we want a QB competition is that there is no real decisive winner. Lot's of teams don't have QB competition. Teams like Pats, Saints, Broncos, Colts, etc. Even teams with the second tier QBs like Miami don't have QB competition. We have a QB that ranked at the bottom of the league in pretty much every measure for the past 2 years, a guy who failed to live up to a big contract and had become a career backup with a broken leg, a guy who was released by the Jets and not picked up by anybody, I guy who is raw and 1 to 2 years away from even competing and a guy so unknown that the HC didn't even refer to him until the 4th time he was discussing reps. Let's face it, if we had Aaron Roger or Russell Wilson here we wouldn't be talking about QB competition, we would be talking super bowl (okay prematurely).

EM31 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Rodgers sat behind a HOF QB, there wasn't a competition. Never has had competition once Favre was dumped. Wilson won the job by outplaying a FA QB in camp. No one was an incumbent. Then after getting the starting job as a rookie never faced competition again. Exactly the same scenario as Geno I'm asking a simple question, name the starting QBs who had others brought in as completion after they were named starters and benefited from it. Again none of this has to do with a love of Geno. Just its been said for the last few years here, that these guys need to have a 2nd guy push the. Never see it anywhere else, when did this become a magical way to develop QBs? It is not a magical way to develop QBs. It is a reasonable way to figure out who the better starter should be, especially in scenarios where the team is pretty sure that both QBs suck. Better QB even if it is only a better QB this year still translates into more wins this year. The only reason to deviate from this approach is where you think one of the other has a significantly higher upside and where seat time in the big boy chair is important to the future development of that player. I submit that Smith has given us zero reason to think this might be true. Fool us three times shame on who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, why is Mariota and Winston being handed the job? Where is the outcry that they need to earn the job? Bridgewater? Bortles? I keep going back, don't see it elsewhere. Not in Atlanta, not in Baltimore, Indy, Miami, Pittsburg, etc. Never is this way elsewhere but should here just because. It's not just Geno, people actually blame not having a alternate to press Sanchez for his failures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 “When you look at Dee coming in, you see a guy still kind of working off of an injury, trying to get himself to 100 percent,” defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers said last week. “But as we looked at him, we expect Dee to compete for a position on the roster like everyone else. This was a top-10 pick, and we think he has a lot of ability and we expect him to compete.” dick cimini : "in a transparent motivational ploy, milliner scorched by rodgers, might not even make the team" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
