One in particular that was an abject failure for 6 years then, quite suddenly did a 180 for 3 years then just as quickly bolted for the NFL before all the investigations started to land.

Hmmmm. How did all that NFL genius fail for 6 years, then get really good for 3 if the talent wasn’t all that great?

Seems like something else might have happened to account for such a sudden change that ended just as suddenly as it started.

Their latest talking point is that they were littered with NFL head coaches on their staff.

How did they ever have such a run with such mid talent?

Agreed.... it does seem like that. It also seems like first round busts float around as starters for a few seasons, then kind of disappear, even though their best utility would be a no name back up. I guess they already got theirs but still kind of a bust.

I have thought for years that most NFL backup QB’s are like long relievers in MLB. They are only in the game because something happened, you are essentially conceding defeat and just trying to put a passable product on the field until the game is over. Maybe you’ll get lucky if they can keep it close but mostly it’s to look like a league compliant team while you are quitting on that game.

That’s why I like Jamies Winston at this point in his career. That goofy fuck is coming off the bench and slinging it. He may make it a lot worse but he may go on a heater and win a game for you when 90% of backups cannot.

The NFL is littered with mid. Perpetually horrible takes and talent evaluators, which allows things like McCord to potentially slink through a decade of backup. I can GM's saying thinking he is over 6'2 and has a strong arm. He looks like a NFL QB, so he must be good.

Probably not the case, but it makes you wonder if GM's keep these type of backup QB's around, just to keep the optics good on paying the starter the type of money they are receiving.

How many times does a starter go out, and a QB nobody has heard about go in, only for there to be a futile output of non existent offense on the field?

It happens all the time.

Ha. Which sounds amazing.

Imagine being second rate at your job and making millions a year.

To play a game no less.

No errors were made. I thank you for your time spent doing this, and no PMs, especially from members who refuse to engage in rap battle challenges from me, should be respected with regards to this week's scoring. I really only have one member in mind, and I like when his score is 0. Or her. The member might be a her.

The fun part is qualifying just how low the bar can be to still be more insightful than McShay. It improves the insult to properly lower our respective ratings
