The only acceptable statement if Fox is retained...


Zod

Recommended Posts

If Fox is retained for next season, there is one thing I want to hear from him in regards to the QB position. I am going to spell it out here word for word for John Fox to memorize and regurgitate......

Matt Moore has shown us potential, growth, and the ability to win football games. He will be taking first team snaps in OTA's this year. We are all behind him 100%

Any mention of Delhomme as still the starter and there will be a mutiny like they have ever seen. You don't let a young guy play this well and replace him with a shitty vet at the first chance you get. He needs confidence, and you sure as hell better give it to him.

Come on Zod, you know what the official statement will be going into OTA's

We have 100% confidence in Jake. He has earned our respect and trust year after year. I know he has been working hard to improve some things this offseason. Although every starting position on this team will have to be earned, he will be taking snaps with the 1st string to start camp.

Jake would be a really nice backup for a lot of teams, including us. If he would set aside his pride and mentor Moore, I think he would be worth keeping around. But since Fox will likely name Delhomme the starter next year, which is asinine, this team is done.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
