Couldnt agree more. You know how is a game manager, Tom Brady. He excels at the mental part of the game (yes an understatement), takes what the offense gives him, never turns the ball over and hasnt had elite physical skills in years, yet his production has actually increased. People call guys like Fitz game managers because thats the only term you can use for a QB who doesnt have an elite arm or the ability to run without saying simply that he stinks. Look at Flacco - no one calls him a game manager because he has a + arm, yet is he actually an elite QB? He won a SB because in the playoffs and SB that season his TD-Int ratio was 11-0. He only completed over 60% of his passes in 1 of the 4 playoff games, and only went over 300 yards in 1 of the 4 games. But yet he didnt hurt his team with turnovers and bad decisions. We should be so lucky to have a guy who can actually manage the game, because we havent had one of those QBs since Chad Pennington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app All those pissed about the McCown signing should hope he starts week one. He will be injured I am guessing by the 3rd quarter. He is ridiculously injury prone and that is why I feel he was not brought into start. On the other hand with his stellar record 2-22 the past 24 games if I'm not mistaken maybe Mac brought him in to lead us to the promise land of the 1st round pick which if you go by his win/loss record he will more than accomplish. It's pick your poison...Had we brought in a more competent QB you don't get the tanking team so many crave. I am not a fan of that and do hope and expect hack to step up and prove us he was the right pick....Could be wishful thinking but that would be best case scenario.

But the good news is that if Hack looks decent, there will be a TON of pressure on him to start Hack over Mccown. Plus, even if Mccown is given the job, he won't last the whole season on a team that will need Mccown to pass a ton late in the game when teams will know we will be passing.

We'll see. Really? You wanted to see him play in the final game? ONE game? What would be the point of that? If you wanted to see him play the other half of the season when Fitz was done then fine. But one game at the end of the season are you kidding me? He wasn't get any reps in practice, he was running with the scout team most of the time. It wouldn't have been fair to him or the rest of the team to just throw him out there. When has throwing a QB out to pay in garbage time ever benefitted them? Geno got hurt, Petty was getting destroyed. Why risk it? Restart next season when he can get the full amount of reps needed in practice and camp. All Bowles has to do to keep his job this season is to not lose the locker room and have them playing hard. If they were judging him on wins and losses i'm pretty sure they wouldn't have gutted the roster and had such a laid back approach in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
