I actually thought it was a decent article. Anyone could have wrote it but decent none the less.

[Dpantherman]

in a way i agree. It won't happen. maybe they need a spark. but i don't think a large bolt of lightning could spark this team right now.

I think benching Peppers would do more for the team than benching Jake.

Starting Moore accomplishes nothing, unless you want the offense to be worse than it currently is.

[Panthro]

Can it be worse?

[jramsey4]

Can it be worse?

It can't be much worse then the constant 3 and outs and all the turnovers.

Point to keep Jake in keeps failing... keep em coming

If McCown were healthy, benching Jake might be a plausible alternative. With Moore and Feely, you are acting out of emotion more so than rational thought. Consider the following:

1. Philly - Jake sucked.

2. Atlanta - 4th down with pressure. Not a lot of options. Desperation. I would rather have someone throw the ball than take a sack.

3. Dallas interception 1. Lobbed it up there. Bad throw.

4. Dallas interception 2. Smith cut the route off.

Logically, since the Philly game, Jake the individual has not been any worse than the rest of the team. Benching him, with no viable alternatives is not the answer. It might give some fans and media an emotional jolt but it does nothing to increase the teams chances of winning. Later in the season, when/if there is no chance of this team making the playoffs, it would make sense to make the move. Until then, the best course of action is to suck it up.

Fox won't do it, so we can only go along for the ride.
