I'd say the word is out now, despite Boykin's denials. He'll have to prove, immediately and on the field, that he's healthy, and apparently he can't.

Time to face reality Brandon. Hope you saved some of that NFL money.

yeah, hope he still has some of that 80 grand we gave him.

People built him up to be something he really wasn't. Basically the same thing that happened with Lee Ward.

He was a decent to good slot cb...someone I'd still prefer to have over Sanchez . Im just a fan though

Barring a miracle the secondary will be a big problem this season.  Looks like Gett stepped on his swinging dick.

Yeah. We should have hung on to a corner with a bad hip that nobody else wants either.

That'd make all the difference in the world.

      If his seat was hot enough for him to be fired 6 games in then you should've just fired him when you made the decision to draft a QB #1 overall. I don't think you go from "this is definitely our guy" to "you're fired in 6 games". Seems like there would be had to have been doubts going in and that's not a recipe for success for a rookie QB.

      I like to use the analogy that a high draft pick QB is like a new supercar. Great to have one except too often, one forgets that they are high maintenance. A bad team secures their car under a cheap tent, puts regular gas in the tank, services it at Pep Boys, and then blames the car for not working properly and proceeds to get another one.  At the least, Ward getting sacked 25 times already is a massive red flag. If you can't protect your rookie QB, you do not put him out there. Otherwise, it's taking your supercar and immediately spinning it right into a tree. A few survive that rough of a start. Most do not.

      I don't think there's any one size fits all answer. I think you play the rookie when A) you think he's ready and B) you think there's a reasonable expectation that the overall situation provides him an opportunity to be successful, not necessarily in terms of wins and losses but just in terms of giving him a fighting chance with surrounding talent. If you rush either one it's probably not gonna be pretty.
