How am I full of myself? Because I ask questions and interject?

1. Are we or are we not repeating the same mistake at QB? Passing over a playable QB for an over-hyped rent-a-qb?
2. Does this not lead to locker room distractions and team disfunction?
3. Does this not create gaps in the depth building at QB, i.e. one guy could play for 2 years and one could learn, next man up, etc. Instead we have one and done. New one and done. New... etc.
4. Are we not seeing an experienced rent-a-qb struggle again while the backup seems capable?
5. Are we not playing a schedule that where offensive backups should be playing in pretty much every game?
6. Is it not poor coaching to rely on a one-dimensional offensive game plan?
7. Why are these questions so offensive?

        What's your basis for Angeli > Leonard ? - Chrisb - 11:22pm 9/23/24

        That was a great final drive by Rees. He used that player that was Manti's buddy from Hawaii. Rees - THEISMANCARR - 6:12pm 9/25/24

        Excellent post. 100% follow your logic and agree. - WoodstockIrish - 8:41am 9/24/24
        Thanks and agree. I do think Freeman is embarassed for whatever reason. If not, then he's not suited - oldirish - 1:20pm 9/24/24
