bostonmajet Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I also think that starting Hack is lose/lose/.../lose situation. In fact, other then making some fans feel better, I don't see an upside with it. Consider the following: If he starts and gets hurt (which is likely with this OL and Fitz sitting behind him) then we have two QBs who are rehabbing in the offseason. If he starts and sucks (which is likely considering the OL, WRs are still raw, and he isn't ready) he and team need to carry this into the offseason; And, all of the he is a bust we need to sign a vet crap will just get amplified. If he starts and plays well (which is possible considering what the bills are going through) we will get the 'if he only started sooner' crap. If he start and plays well and we still fire OC or HC (because hey they should have started him sooner) and then he has one bad play/game under a new regime we get the why did we fire the HC/OC) crap? If he starts and plays poorly, we get the fire Mac bs. If he plays well and we work on his mechanics and he suffers than why did we f' with his mechanics. If he sucks and we loose than we tanked for a better draft pick; if he plays well and we win, we blew the draft picks to save Bowles job. One game at the end of the season playing with this OL against a beaten opponent isn't going to mean anything. One game isn't enough time to truly evaluate a player, but it is more than enough for the media and fans to get all worked up. One game isn't going to make or break Mac or Bowles but it will be enough to fuel the discourse for the whole offseason. One game won't mean anything other than Mac didn't stick to his guns and redshirt the kid after all 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like people just keep making up excuses for why we spent a top 50 pick in the draft, on a guy who is so fcking damaged, he can't even get a sniff in a game vs EJ Manuel? Why doesn't he have to answer to that?  We'll, THIS just ruined the opportunity for me to laugh even louder at my hecklers as I anticipated Fitz being benched for every other QB on the team this season. Hack must be F'ing terrible if he can't even replace Fitz at this point. What a shame that draft pick was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I hear you but... The dude gambles a different way... He makes one really big gamble that may or may not pay off later, and we want him to "answer" for it. And say what? "I resign because I made a leap of a pick 9 months ago and he hasn't played just like I said... My bad I guess?" I don't get what he needs to say at this point.. I don't know what people want anymore. They want a QB, but they don't want to take risks getting him. They want a GM that will take chances and build a good roster, but not if that means taking a few risks. They want to rebuild but also keep winning... MM is a good GM so far. Not amazing, not great, but good... Just look at the money the Jets can shed this off season. A lot of that is because he built these contracts this way so we weren't stuck with 5 years of most of these guys. It's a huge leap of a pick. Chances are like 90% of the QBs that come into this league, it may not work out. But he took a swing, and we're still waiting to see if he hits it, and I'm okay with that for now. Maybe I'll change my tune in another 16 months. But for now I'm saying that he went with some unconventional draft wisdom, and lets see what happens. Anyway this isn't meant to be harsh against anyone. I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just don't understand how people already want this guy to walk the plank. He's been solid. He's taken a few risks. He's tried to balance young incoming talent with vets that should have played better (outside of Fitz. Hated that signing) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put in it's simplest form, in the "Not For Long" NFL, Hack MUST be competing legitimately for teh #1 QB Job in Camp/Preseason in 2017, or Macc looks like sh*t and becomes the hot-seat GM for that year. His only potential saving grace is to bring in a "Big Name (TM)" QB and to have that big name guy win the job and play well in a winning season. Â Many will forget Hack exists if that happens.
