See I disagree. The NFL is only 16 games. No time to gamble. If Luck was the QB he goes back in the Steelers game & plays the next week vs Miami especially if he took all the practice reps. Frank did gamble though. He gambled that Hoyer would put 2 great passing games together and he would be justified in moving on from JB mid season.

It was so strange how little he seemed to care how JB was doing during the Steelers game. I'm not saying he didn't care about Jacoby. Just that he didn't care to hear anything that would lead to JB going back into the game... Even gave Hoyer another week to steal the job.Â

You can't make a move like that with a QB that has you at 5-2. I think Jim Harbaugh did it with Smith & Kap. But you can't do that with a lifelong backup in Hoyer. We would have been better off turning to Kelly. At least with him we would have had some potential to hope for...
