I know the league is different now, it's more of a "win now" for owners, gm's, and fans(notice I didn't include players). But does anyone recall how in 1975 Bob Irsay stormed into the locker room at half time during the 5th game of the season and told coach Schnellenberger to play 3rd year qb Bert Jones instead of diddling around with Marty Domres any more? We will keep Richardson out there, he needs to play, we will sink or swim with Richardson. And, by the way, Richardson at qb has NOTHING to do with giving up 500 yards of rushing through 2 games.
I get the logic behind it , but imo the WRONG player was in the field it shouldn’t have been Sermon, he isn’t that good of a pass catcher. It should have been Goodson. I do agree that having you BEST weapon on the field during times like that. But JT had been making some bad plays, the bad drop (more so on AR than JT but you gotta catch those) and the fumble. I just don’t under understand why Goodson wasn’t in if we are in a clear passing situation. Goodson is the better receiver out of the two.
The idea that project QBs work out on anything other than a rare occasion is something to consider.
We’ve gone through a revolving door of QBs since Luck retired (with a few that were project QBs). Can’t blame fans for wanting to see something other than mediocre to poor play.
