Yeah, me 2....... but at least they were trying something different!! I think they did it a couple weeks ago but only once. BTW, looks like we have the late game (4 pm) on Jan 11??? Does that make sense?

What was with that? I know Mark Jones wasn't doing all that great, but seeing him back there was surprising, exciting (even though it didn't amount to anything) and disconcerting at the same time. I only remember seeing him one time.

i like the attitude fox was trying to present. We were already in the playoffs, we had the lead, yet we were willing to put our best player on a punt return. It certainly reinforced a message to the other players, i think.

nooo john fotz is con-suh-vuh-tive ...he don't do nothin' to win da games... Fire him, turdovac, and davidson hire cowher....

I thought Jones did okay today. Saints had good ST coverage.

It's a judgment call honestly. Yes, it's a risk, but there's also the school of thought that says there's no such thing as putting the ball in a playmaker's hands too much.

      I don't put Bryce any higher than that, but I don't put Murray up there either.  And we've touched on the reason: an unfortunate tendency to choke. You can have all the best stats in any game you play in, but if you choke at a crucial point and lose the game, guess how much those stats count for? And I will at least admit this when it comes to Bryce: his game performances of late definitely don't reflect choking. Just the opposite, in fact.

      It's a matter of perspective. Hell, TB12 was skipped over 198 times for example. I mean, Montana, Wilson, Dak and a few others were skipped many times before they were drafted. Warner and Romo went undrafted for Pete's sake. Don't get me started on misses (and not just QBs).  His attitude didn't help, but it was reported just as much that scouts/execs didn't necessarily believe he was a day one or two guy. Like I suggested, we'll never know the whole story. Moreover, you can't get around the fact that he's handled his situation in Cleveland with flying colors. That's been widely reported as well.

      I think you misunderstand what I mean by "significantly better than Bryce Young." That gets you entry into the top 30 NFL starting QB's. Not sure if you have seen that group recently, but it's not a strong one the further down that list you go. Murray is a Tier 3 if not Tier 4 QB in my book.
